About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 20 problems adding and subtracting three integers.
This worksheet uses three terms rather than two. A two-term problem can be answered with a rule of thumb; with three the student has to work in order and carry a running total, which is what a generalizable procedure means. Both notations appear on every page - a negative term written in brackets after a plus, and the same term written as a subtraction - because a student who has met only one of them has learned a notation rather than an operation. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
