Instructional+Strategy+&+Learner+Participation


 * Learner Participation **


 * Pretest **

The learner will be given a pre-test, using a google document on listing the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing signed integers.

Learners will then discuss as a group their responses to determine if there are any differences in their responses.

Learner Objectives

The instructor will inform learners that as a result of the training they will be able to:
 * Assemble a T-Chart
 * Place integers on the T-chart with columns, one for two positives, two negatives, and one for positive and negative integers for all four math operations.

Entry Skills


 * Interpret what a negative or positive integer is
 * Interpret a number line
 * Demonstrate knowledge of how to interpret and/or write a negative and positive sign

Recall of Prerequisite Skills

Learners will take a survey that will allow them to describe the vocabulary below. Vocabulary will be provided and will include

Ø Graphic Organizer Ø Integer Ø Positive/Negative Ø Number Line Ø Reference Guide Ø Test


 * Cluster 1: ** **Assemble a T-Chart. **


 * ====Instructor will ask for any examples of learner’s previous experience with errors made in calculations with equations and integer operations by students in their math classes and record their responses.====
 * ====Instructor will the state those errors and determine which are the most profound.====
 * ====Learners will record information about which errors are the most profound on a fist list.====
 * ====Based on the fist lists, learners will discuss error categories independently.====
 * ====Instructor will ask for learners to discuss how they can insert a new method for teaching students to retain the information without making any calculation errors.====
 * ====Instructor will guide learner’s through folding an 8.5x11 in piece of paper in half, drawing a line horizontally and vertically through it in the shape of a T-Chart.====

**Instructions for T-Chart (specifics) **

 * 1) ==== **Things You'll Need: ** ====
 * 2) ==== **Paper ** ====
 * 3) ==== **Pencil ** ====
 * 4) ==== **Fold a piece of paper lengthwise. ** ====
 * 5) ==== **Open the paper and draw a line along the crease. ** ====
 * 6) ==== **Draw a line at a right angle to the line drawn in step 2. This line should be made about 1 inch from the top of the paper. This is going to be the title line. ** ====
 * 7) ==== **Use the T-chart to organize thoughts for this math assignment. On one half, write addition and on the other side write subtraction. Below each heading, write examples of each type of integer problem. ** ====
