Interactive Integers – Addition and Subtraction

 Perfect for learning how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers!

This app provides two fun interactive methods for learning and understanding addition and subtraction of positive and negative numbers. The color tile model and number line model are two of the most common classroom methods for teaching integers. These methods help students visually understand integer concepts instead of relying only on memorization of rules.
