1 – Description of activity This activity had me use virtual manipulatives to practice different skills. The one I focused on was adding and subtracting integers. There were seven overlapping circles all connected in one big circle (like a Venn Diagram) and there were certain numbers given in each part of the circle and you had to place the different integers in the different parts of each circle (each circle was divided into three parts) to make a sum of zero. 2a – New York Standards //Operations // 2b – Technology Standards  Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: a. Identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation. b. Plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. c. Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions. d. Use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions.
 * //Students will understand meanings of operations and procedures, and how they relate to one another. //**

3 – Inquiry <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Inquiry is a type of research, yet it differs in the following ways. It is not just looking for the right answer; it is your view, what you think the right answer is. Inquiry is to explore different avenues of research and develop an answer that you think fits, not what it says in a book.
