I think my H.E.R.O.E.S might enjoy some of these links.

Practice the Subtraction of integers with the chips like we did in class on the smarboard http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_162_g_2_t_1.html


Leave a comment about your experience at a site or if you happen to find another good integer resource online. (copy&paste the web address in your comment!)

H.E.R.O.E.S request videos

Miss Saarinen has made an effort to find music and videos to make her students enjoy math a little bit more.

All of these videos are found from searching the internet. Feel free to watch them again. Be sure to let Miss Saarinen know if you find a song or video that connects to what we're studying in math.

Enjoy!








Just remember since these are links from www.youtube.com you'll have to watch them some when you're not at school!

Integers, say what?

Miss Saarinen's marvelous H.E.R.O.E.S are working with integers during the month of December. We first learned what it takes to be an integer and are now beginning to learn the basic operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) with integers.

Here are some sites to explore and to give you some practice on using the integers.
