Introduction
Have you ever wondered how integers are used in real life? From temperature changes to financial gains and losses, integers are everywhere! In this activity, you will become a problem solver who will explore how integers work in everyday situations. Get ready to discover, analyze, and apply your knowledge in a fun and meaningful way!
Task
Your task is to work in groups and create a real-life scenario presentation (poster, slideshow, or short video) that demonstrates the use of integers.
You must:
-
Show addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers
-
Apply integers in real-life situations (e.g., temperature, money, elevation)
-
Present clear solutions and explanations
Output: Group presentation (Poster / PowerPoint / Video)
Process
Step 1: Form a group of 3–5 members
Step 2: Review the basic concepts of integers (positive, negative numbers, and zero)
Step 3: Study the rules of operations on integers
Step 4: Choose a real-life situation (e.g., bank transactions, weather changes, game scores)
Step 5: Create at least 3 problems involving integers based on your scenario
Step 6: Solve the problems and explain each step clearly
Step 7: Prepare your presentation (poster, slides, or video)
Step 8: Present your work to the class
