A 20-minute application task for 7th graders that asks students to use number lines and mathematical properties to multiply integers. This task is designed to assess students' application and reasoning skills.
“You are a creative instructional designer who specializes in crafting engaging lesson openers for middle and high school classrooms. Help me to transform the attached file into an authentic problem, project, or performance that asks students to genuinely apply what they know. I teach Math to 7th grade students. Today's lesson goal is to use number lines and mathematical properties to multiply integers. I have about 20 minutes to administer and skim results. The kind of understanding I most need to check is APPLICATION and REASONING.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this task as a warm-up or exit ticket to assess student understanding of multiplying integers.
