Recently, we had an activity in our
math class based on the subtraction of integers. The activity was a group
activity.
The teacher divided the children into
groups. A tray was put on the front table which consisted of papers with two
colours - blue and yellow. The teacher told us that blue represents one
positive integer and the yellow represents one negative integer.
One child from each team had to
blindly pick up pieces of colour paper with only two fingers. After we picked
mixed pieces of papers, we had to count the number of blues and number of
yellows.
Our group picked 6 blues and 4
yellows. Therefore, we had to subtract the number four from six. Post this; we
were left with two blues. Hence, we got two points as our score… That was how
the game went.
We found the activity quite
innovative and interesting… it lifted our team spirit as well!
