Anchor chart of the week Volume 2

We have taken a dive into the next year's math curriculum and to help my students grasp subtraction of integers we created the following anchor charts.

In teams, students had to make an anchor chart that would help a peer understand the concept of subtracting integers. The following were the requirements:
Upper left hand section: Students had to make up 5 problems that their peers would need to solve

Upper right hand section: students solve 5 of the problems using tiles (red for negative and blue for positive)

Bottom left hand section: students solve 5 of the problems using a number line

Bottom right hand section: students had to come up with a physical gesture to help them remember the rules for subtracting integers Keep Change Change. They had a fun time acting these out.

Here's one more example!

Students did have some trouble with the concept at first, but I do feel that doing the anchor charts was a great way for them to review.
