A comprehensive review of adding and subtracting negative numbers with a final treasure hunt themed activity.

Exploring subtraction by 'diving down' or removing depth, focusing on movement to the left on the number line.

Learning to add integers by 'swimming up' the number line, using simple visual aids and low numbers.

Introduction to the number line, positive and negative integers, and the concept of sea level as zero.

A hands-on lesson focusing on the recognition and application of mathematical symbols in numbers and operations through a collaborative Tarsia puzzle activity.

A comprehensive lesson on supplementary and complementary angles, focusing on definitions, identification, and calculating unknown values in geometric diagrams.

A comprehensive 45-minute TEKS-aligned review for grades 6-8 covering proportional relationships, equations, and geometry through a construction-themed 'Blueprint Builders' challenge. Includes STAAR-style items and error analysis.
