Everyday when I come home from school I tell my mom what I learned each day. Today I said, “I learn about integers and that integers are numbers below 0.”
She added, “Integers are negative numbers and that they are all around you.”
Then she checked my temperature because I was feeling sick. “Your temperature is 101 degrees Fahrenheit!” she said, “Your temperature is a positive integer.”
Then I went to the hospital to get checked out because of my fever. First they checked my height, weight, and ask for my age. My height was 4’10” and my weight was 71 pounds. I told them I was 12-years-old. My mom said, “Those are also integers.” I was amazed that integers were every place I went.
On our way back from the hospital we passed a golf course and I heard someone say, “Your score is -2.”
Then we went to my brother’s football game. He played the tight end position. He got an interception and scored a touchdown. It was -65 yards for the other team.
The next day when I went to school I learned about multiplying and dividing integers. We use a number line to multiply. When I multiplied (-6x-3=18) and when I divided (18/-3 =-6).
The integers were so fun I made a book for it. I would check everyday in my book and read the stories. Every time I would see or use an integer I would add it to my story.
