1st verse:
Two different integers, the same sign
Lets say they’re both solid negative
Further left when simplified
When it’s the same sign, they combine
Express negative 3 and negative 5
Which is negative plus a negative
These two integers combine
To negative 8 when simplified
Chorus:
Oh, what’s the operation
addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division
Signs signs to tell your destination
Oh..on the number line
Yea, same signs combine yea they add together
Different signs are absolute
When we know which is bigger
One different sign can make it negative during division
And when we multiply on the number line
2nd verse:
Two different integers with different signs
Let the absolute tell you
Which is bigger by how much, this time?
Keep the sign of larger value
Express 7 and negative 9
9 is greater in the absolute
All we need to do is simplify
And we’ll find negative 2
Bridge:
So, yea multiply and/or divide
If they’re the same sign
We’ll be positive
If it’s a different sign
This will all go negative

6th Grade Compacted Math/Pre-Algebra and 7th Grade Algebra I - loved jamming to the “Integer” Song. We did have a good discusion about paying attention to what we are listening to…therefore the students double checked the math work to see if there was a need for any edits. They almost all said that they know the math is correct, we are still learning.
Way to go Lodge! You get an A and it is only the middle of August.
Gret job Dr.Lodge I am in Ms. Gimbars class and I am doing a music video with this song
That is AMAZING!! We have to listen to it for Ms.Gimbar, but it’s cool.
