• Each of the students will need to record verbal model, expression, process and answer on notebook paper. Don’t forget the unit.
• You need to use decimal in expression, process and answer if the question(s) is expressed in decimal form. You need to use fraction in expression, process and answer if the question(s) is expressed in fraction form. You can use either decimal or fraction in expression, process and answer if the question(s) is expressed in both decimal and fraction form.
• Please write down name, date and period on their answer document. The title is group practice on solving problems on adding and subtracting integers.
• Round your answer in hundredths if necessary. Simplify your answer if necessary
Example 1 (please read this example carefully)
Tanya made a deposit of $150 into her checking account.
Then she withdrew $255. The next day, she wrote a check for
$145. She had $350 in her account before any of these transactions. How much money is in her account now?
vm: money in her account + deposit – withdrawal – amount she wrote a check
Expression: 350 + 150 – 255 - 145
Process: = 500 – 255 - 145
= -245 – 145
= -$390

Problem 3
Theresa and Callie are playing a trivia game where you earn points by answering questions correctly and lose points by answering questions incorrectly. On Theresa’s last three turns, she answered a question correctly worth
200 points, answered a question incorrectly worth 325 points, then answered a question incorrectly worth 65 points. Now Theresa has –675 points. How many points did Theresa have before her last 3 turns? Explain.
Problem 4
When the finance committee for the school dance, they had a balance of $50.25 in their checking account. The committee deposited $44 they received from ticket sales.

Problem 5
Kirsten and Gigi are riding in hot air balloons. They start 500 feet above the ground. Kirsten’s balloon rises 225 feet, falls 105 feet, and then rises 445 feet. Every time Kirsten’s balloon travels up or down, Gigi’s balloon travels 15 feet farther in the same direction. Then both balloons stop moving so a photographer on the ground can take a picture. a) Find Kirsten’s final position relative to the ground.
b) Is Kirsten or Gigi closer to the ground when the photographer takes the picture?
Problem 6
