LearningStudents move positive and negative integers to make combinations of three numbers that sum to 0. The resource offers a fun way for students to think about additive inverses and the relationship between positive and negative integers. The game requires more than simple practice of addition and subtraction because students are required to focus on the connection and relationship between numbers while using strategy to complete the entire game.
The learning is instrumental for this site as there is no visual or explanation helping learners understand the connection between inverse values. Learners can finish the game simply with trial and error or with basic addition rules. There are other versions of this game which require students to sum to 21, 3 (includes decimals), and 99 - each number offers a link to the game. TechnologyThis technology is a game-like method for learners to practice inverse operations. The puzzle approach creates a goal for learners to complete the process while thinking critically and doing a great amount of addition or subtraction of three numbers. The technology is intended as motivation and practice rather than an instructional technique.
