Purpose Statement
The purpose of my study was to determine if teaching students to understand the minus and negative sign, how they are related, and what they stand for through real world examples increased student ability to do operations with negative numbers.
How can I help my students understand negative numbers?
Students used kinesthetic number lines to show adding and subtracting numbers.
Number lines were used on desks so students had a tool to use for doing operations with numbers.
