Johnson's Journal September 10, 2013

My RTI math group (6 Johnson people) has been introduced to the concept of integers.  Integers are whole numbers and their opposites..6, -6, 4, -4, etc.  Your sixth grader should know that zero is not a whole number and, therefore, is not an integer.  To help the kids become better acquainted with the concept we used a PBS website game.  They enjoyed the game and asked me to post the website so they could play it at home.  The URL is as follows:

Hope you enjoy it!
