Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use a stated reference point and direction to represent a quantity as a signed integer.

Worked example

A diver is eight meters below sea level. Write the integer for the diver's elevation in meters.

−8

Sea level is the zero reference. An elevation below sea level is negative.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Find the zero reference before choosing a sign.
  • Underline the direction, such as above, below, forward, or back.
  • The format option changes quantities in the statements; every response is a signed integer.
