Intro

Modeling Integer Operations

By the end of this lesson you will represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers with concrete models and connect each model action to the usual algorithm. An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. Our model uses two-color counters to show these operations clearly.
