INTEGER STORY

Once there was an integer that was so tough that he could solve any question in single thought. One day he was eating a zero pair sandwich when all the sudden the mayor of

Ultra-vile came and said to super integer “ You will go and find the lost temple of the cantaloupes !” so then SI (which stands for Super integer) said “why is this?” then the mayor said “Because we need our greatest integer to go to the temple and answer the 4 questions” “ I will go !!” said SI. SI was eating a +2 cookie when all the sudden a little old man jumped out from the bush. “What is (+2)+(+3)”??? said the old man. Ummmmm….(+5) said SI. Hmmmm…..very good we have been expecting you. SI was completely confused. He had no idea why there were old people asking him integer questions. He continued on his way. It was about 2:30 in the afternoon when al the sudden an old woman jumps out of the bush. “What is (+5)+(+12)???” she said. SI was confused he was looking at the old woman when he said “Ummmm……….(+17)??”

VERY good. “My husband was right you are a smart one” she said as she jumped back into the bush. SI who was now starting to wonder if old people coming out of bushes is a regular thing kept on walking towards the temple. It was about 4:32 and he could see the temples tallest tower he was walked up the stairs he heard and echoing voice say “ What is “(+23)+(+43)??” SI was really starting to worry he said “Ummm………. (+66)??” then the voice said “good job & good luck” SI was walking up the stairs and then all the sudden a stone tablet dropped in front of him. A voice boomed “ SHOW YOUR WORK!!” so then he said “ For what ??” the voice boomed again “FOR THIS QUESTION” “What is (+2)-(-5)” As SI was thinking of the question he noticed that the walls had spikes and they were moving in on him. First he wrote out the question then he changed it to look like this (+2)+(+5) so then the walls were closing in on him he just finshed question just as the spike was hitting his face it stopped right at his nose. He then heard the voice “ YOU MAY KNOW STEP INTO THE LIGHT”. SI stepped into the light and then all the sudden POOF he turned into a potato.

One day, a guy named Bob was walking through a pumpkin patch, when a giant pumpkin monster jumped up and roared at him. He had big teeth, long claws, and was glowing orange, the same color as his skin. Bob tried to run, but the monster picked him up in one giant hand. The monster brought him up to his face, and gnashed his teeth, and Bob screamed like a 5-year old girl. The monster told him, "Answer these three questions, and I will let you go, if you fail, I will devour you.". Here is the first, what is (-5) + (+6)? Bob knew how to use integer chips, so he took out some colored buttons and a marker from his pocket, and started to do the math on the monsters hand.
Bob quickly came to this conclusion, by using zero pairs. He proudly told the monster his answer, and the monster started yelling and cussing. He soon stopped, and began to laugh.
"I'll get you on the next one!", he said. Here it is: what is (+5) + (+8)? Hmm, thought bob, I'd better use integer chips for this one. 

He came to this conclusion by using the buttons as integer chips. He told the monster his answer, and this time the monster began to tear up the pumpkin patch in his rage and frustration, and almost trampled Bob. He did this for awhile, and then came back and sat down. "RRRRRR, alright, try this one, Mr. Smug.", said the monster, barely containing his anger. "What is (+100) + (+200) equal?!?" "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!", he laughed at the blank, hopeless look on his face. Okay Bob, he thought, just think. That's it!, he thought , I'll use a number line!

"Hooray!", he yelled, "I've got it!". He thought it was simple, he just had to use a number line. "Oh, alright, I'll let you go." Bob started walking along home, rejoicing. It was way to easy, I'm gonna brag to all my frei- and then the monster ate him.

Dean's Integer Story

Once upon a time in the far off land of Tribalville lived a guy named Bob. He was into dancing, bboying to be specific. He was fairly good at it, but he couldn't hit those hard moves. Bob was tremendously sad, so he decided to take a walk outside and cool off. That's when he saw it. There was a poster pinned onto a electricity pole. It read, "ABC, A Bboy Competition, sign up today! Call 123-4567 for details." He got out his cell and called right away. Bob thought that this was a great opportunity to try out new things.

On the day of the competition, Bob was all pumped up and ready for whatever came at him. When he arrived at the building, Bob wanted to try some new stuff before he battled. As he was about to try some new stuff, the attendant stopped him. She said that he was up first and had to be there as soon as possible. So instead of practicing he decided to try and wish. He said "If anyone can hear me, I wish I would be better at bboying." At an instant, a green fog appeared, and right in front of him stood a genie. The genie said "My young boy, if you want the moves you wish for, you must answer this. He stuck out his index finger, and drew an equation in mid air (and somehow it worked).

(+8) + (-4) = ?

Bob remembered integers when he was a few years younger so this was no problem for him. He simply drew in the air the answer.



The genie was astounded at his work so he granted him his wish. At that moment, Bob felt a little more confident just because he knew he could bboy better than before. During the battle Bob pulled off some really good moves, and ended up winning that one battle with flying colours. Even if he won one battle, it wasn't enough to win the whole competition.

His next battle determined who went into the semi-finals. If he wanted to win he would have to step his game up. He called upon the genie by saying "I wish I could do better at bboying."

Once again, the green fog appeared and the genie came and started talking. Obnoxiously the genie said "What do you want now?"

Bob replied by saying, "I want to be better at bboying please." The genie was very annoyed for his calling but it was his job so he had to do it.

"Alright then." the genie said. Answer this question.

(+4) + (+9) = ?

Before Bob could answer the genie said "This time, you can't use dots."

Bob was in shock because that was the easiest way. He thought hard and tried to think of a different way to solve the equation. He remembered, number lines!



The genie was flabbergasted at the accomplishment of Bob. The genie decided that Bob did deserve to be better. At once, the genie granted him his wish and once again Bob was better than before. Just as the genie went away, the battle started.


Bob was astounded at what he could do now. He could do crazy powermoves at the clap of a hand. When it was his turn to do his set, he did swipes, windmills, all of the basic powermoves. The end result was Bob winning yet again. Bob was jubilant at the thought of him winning, but to do that he would definitely have to do better. The competition he was in consisted of some of the best bboys around.


Bob was freaking out because he knew that the next bboy he was about to battle was 10 times better. He decided to call the genie again. "I wish I can be better at bboying" Bob said for the third time.

The green fog appeared as usual, and the genie appeared. He seemed to be very grumpy as he decided not to greet Bob. All he said was "What now?"

Bob said "genie, can you make me better at
bboying yet again?"

The genie replied by saying "Young Bob, you are already very good and if you want to become even better, you must answer this question. Although, the question will be tough. You cannot solve it by using a number line or dots. You must find one other way. That being said, your question is this.


(-17) + (+17) = ?

Bob was shocked. He couldn't use a number line or dots. Those two were the only two he could think of. He sat there thinking very hard. "The numbers are pretty big, but they are opposites. What could I do with an opposite?" he thought. He remembered at an instant. "Zero pairs!" he shouted.



The genie was once again, flabbergasted. Even so, the genie seemed to be smiling in an evil way. He started laughing crazily. The genie started talking "Now that I gave you your 3 wishes, I get a favour in return.

Bob was in shock, and said "you didn't tell me that! That's not fair genie."

The genie replied, "that's the whole point to this, be careful for what you wish for because you might have to do something in return. I gave you your wish, now it's my turn."

Jessica's Integer Story


Lights were flashing every where, people were scattered around having fun, eating and laughing. It was noisy, very noisy but what could you expect when at a Carnival. People were always laughing and screaming on rides or with friends.

Anastasia, our main character here was celebrating her birthday with her friends, which names are Emily and Danielle. They were having so much fun. They had just ridden the biggest and fastest roller coaster an even eight times. Now they were hungry and wanted to try there luck at the games.

They headed over to the nearest food stand. They where going to get some pizza and drinks. "Hello. What can I get you?" Said the kind man in the trailer, at the cash.


Anastasia, being the person she was always planned out her what she order so she knew what she was paying and what she would get back. Looking at the board she decide she would get a medium pizza and three drinks which would be seven dollars. "I would like a medium cheese pizza and three canned drinks please." She replied only about a minute after.

"Sure. That will be seven dollars." He said with a smile, then turned around and started to make the pizza. She pulled out a ten dollar bill.





When the man turned back with Anastasia's order she handed him the ten dollar bill and received the food and the change back. They all head for the nearest clear table and sat down. Anastasia put the pizza box on the table then took the drinks off the box and in front of each girl and herself. They ate and chatted about nothing special for a while.

Adrian's Integer Story

Okay so we start out with Jose on a normal day after school. So Jose gets home has a snack but now he is bored. Jose decides to play some video games but not any video game......MARIO. Okay so Jose starts playing Mario but he asks himself "what if i was Mario". Out of no where he sees him self in the game "whoa this is the coolest thing I've ever done. But out of no where a goomba comes hes starts running then he remembers that he can kill them. So he jumps and lands on the goomba and squishes it. He got used to this thing when he got to one of the castles bowser was there and he said "so you want to save the princess, you have to do something". Jose said " what, what do I have to do". "Answer this very hard integer question MUHAHAHAHA". The question was...Jose said " HAHAHAHA silly bowser i know the answer zero because +30 and -30 make a zero pair". "NOOOOOO i forgot about that" said bowser. Out of no where this little mushroom person comes and says "sorry Jose but the princess isn't in this castle". Jose starts spinning into a vortex then....THUD he lands in this maze but he is just a circle with a mouth. " This isn't as cool as the other one....I'M A CIRCLE" said Jose. He realized that he was in the game pacman. There were these ghost looking this chasing him. He just realized that he has to eat all the little dots but we will just call them marshmallows. He was almost done so he was about to eat the last one with one life left. So he ate the last one and everything around him went black and he was a person. Then suddenly a ghost comes out and tells him an integer question. the question was....."Oh i know this one, the answer is negative 6" said Jose. Out of no where he spins into another vortex then again ......THUD he landed on a pad but now he was a frog. Right away he realized that he was in frogger. He was doing OK he still had 2 lives and he was about to get his last frog on the other side. But he fell into the water so he tried again and he made it SUDDENLY a big frog comes and asks Jose an integer question. "WAIT WAIT WAIT hold up I'm getting tired of answering these questions why do i have to do this and why is the thing asking me a question always bigger than me" said Jose. The over sized frog didn't care and asked him the question anyway, the question was.......Jose boredly said "the answer to that question is positive 28". And he knew what was coming next he would fall into a vortex and land in the next game. "I I'm okay with the game playing but whats with the questions, vortex's, and me getting hurt when I fall, cant there be a mat" he said to himself. He landed in a jungle but he felt weird when he was actually a gorilla donkey kong junior to be specific. He had to save his dad that was in gorilla form. there were a series of vines but Mario kept throwing these animal things at him. but he found a way it took a while but he did it. Now that he saved his father his father asked him a integer question harder than the other ones. The question was......
Jose thought for a little until he said "positive 30.....WAIT I mean negative 30"."You are right" said his father. As usual he starts falling into a vortex.......



To Be Continued.....
......RIGHT NOW

So Jose is zooming through the vortex thinking of what just happened and how much fun hes having. Then suddenly another thud "AW MAN that's really going to hurt in the morning" says Jose. Then he hears a loud BOOM, he finally realizes that hes in bomberman and he is the blue man. So he starts running around in his suit that somehow holds an infinite amount of bombs. anyway 10 minutes later he eliminates the yellow man. the red man gets eliminated by the green man. After a while Jose finds the green man. The green man says " i'l make you a deal if you answer one integer question I will eliminate myself. The question was.....
Jose took 5 minutes to think. Hmmmmm.....OH i know now the answer is +11. He was right and the red man kept his word and eliminated himself and made a large vortex and of coarse Jose fell in. Jose finally lands in the game snake but now he was the snake eating those squares that are supposed to be food and avoiding biting his tail. He was getting really long so it was the last mouse he had to eat and then the mouse or square started to talk. "Hey if you answer this one science question you will win" said the talking box. "Yes finally a question that is not math"said Jose. But out of no where the box said "oops that's right its a MATH question, sorry I'm a box I'm not very smart". "Okay okay just ask me the question" said Jose. The question was....

Jose thought long and hard when he came up with the answer -13. He was right but instead of falling into a vortex a stage comes up. Everyone from the video games were there. And Jose got an award for completing all those games. He started his speech "First I would like to thank my mom, dad, and the maker of these video games" he started to tear. Out of nowhere he hears a loud noise. Its his math teacher Mr.Harold yelling at him. He couldn't believe it it was all a dream but, he could believe that Mr. Harold gave him detention for sleeping in class.

There once was a girl name Hannah. Hannah had just finished collage but first she needed a job! But the place where she wanted to work wasn't looking for anyone. Just as Hannah was about to leave, the lady stopped her in her tracks and said " If you can answer this integer question then you can have the job" Hannah was so excited! She Loves Integers!








Wow that was easy! Hannah answered the question correctly! The lady was happy as Hannah was filling out the information form it asked for her address.. Hannah didn't have a house anymore! She ran out and told the lady that she would be back soon!
An Hour later Hannah found a cheap apartment but was one dollar short on buying it. She went to the manager to ask if he could give it to her cheaper and he said sure.. Hannah was so happy that the manager went down so easy! Just as she was about to jump for joy the manager said BUT you have answer this integer question! Hannah was happy yet she was a little mad...
Wow! If Hannah keeps this up then she can get whatever she wants! The Manager sighed and gave her the apartment key. Hannah opened the luxury apartment door but when she looked inside there was no furniture! What know?! Thought Hannah. Hannah was walking through furniture shops but they were all asking for to much money! Hannah walked into the shop looked around and saw the most beautiful furniture she Had ever saw! She knew she couldn't afford any of it! But Hannah had a plan! She thought since every other person offered her everything for an integer question then maybe she could get something from here with an integer question! Hannah found the manager and asked what she could get here for 20$ the manager laughed and said a stick of gum! Hannah was not happy with that comment. She gave him one dirty look and started to walk away. The manager chuckled and said how about you answer this integer question and you can get whatever and as much things from this store as you want! Hannah nodded.

The next thing Hannah knew she was blacked out...

Once a long long tine ago(last Monday) there was a man named Joe. Joe wanted to work at KFC and make finger licking chicken that was so finger licking that you bite your fingers off and the fingers of the guy next to you. KFC thought he looked to much like a goat but if he could solve this integer question they would hire him.



now that Joe worked at KFC he needed a home so he talked to a house sales man and the man said that he had one house left but if you can solve this integer question ill give it to you for only $100.00.


Joe was really annoyed after he solved the question and checked his wallet and only found $90.00 so Joe did not have a house. a few days after Joe was walking down a back ally and found a golden lamp so he melted it down to sell it, but as he was melting it said it would grant him one wish if he could solve an integer question.


now that Joe solved the question he wished for a house then blacked out.

When Heather woke up, it seemed like a ordinary day. But then she noticed something terribly wrong..she was stuck in a obstacle course. Made entirely out of candy. Panicking, she ran. After about 10 minutes she came across a giant chocolate door.

"Great" Heather said. "As if it can't get any worse, I'm stuck here by a giant chocolate door".

To her surprise, the door started talking.

"If you want to get past, you have to answer my question"

Sighing, Heather nodded her head, and the tree held out a branch to show a integer question.

(+7) + (-5) = ?



Remembering what her Math teacher had said about using integer chips to answer Math questions, it only took Heather a couple minutes to figure out the answer.

"It's (+2)! The answer is (+2)!"

The door said nothing, just slowly opened. Heather smirked, then walked on. The next obstacle she came to was a rapidly moving gumdrop that was over a chocolate river. How many moving candy objects are there? Heather thought. Looking closer, she noticed some writing.

If you want me to stop moving, then you have to answer my integer question with a number line

(+8) + (+4) = ?




Although in school Heather had some problems using number lines, it didn't take her too long to answer the gumdrop's question. The moving gumdrop came to an abrupt halt, and Heather crossed without a problem.

After about another hour of walking, and wondering what she was going to do, Heather came to the next obstacle. A fudge mountain. Fully understanding what was going to happen, the mountain started talking:

"If you answer my question, I will throw down a rope, and you can walk over me"

(+3) + (-7) = ?


For some reason, when Heather was trying to think of how to solve this question, she thought of the money she had to owe her friend. Then she got it. Have and owe!



Heather answered this question easily using the have and owe method, and true to his word, the mountain threw down a rope. Using this rope, Heather climbed over the mountain, and down the other side.

"This obstacle course is never going to end!" said Heather, when she saw the next obstacle. A licorice catapult. On the base of this catapult were the words:

Getting a little tired of this course, aren't you? This may or may not be your last question. Solve it however you like, and I will catapult you.

(+2) + (+7) + (-3) = ?




Hoping this was the last question, Heather answered it, and climbed into the catapult. After a couple seconds wait, the catapult suddenly shot out. Heather went flying through the air...

TO BE CONTINUED.


Continuation:

...and landed with a big thump. She looked around. According to her surroundings, she was stuck in a GIANT GUMBALL MACHINE. That's right, a Gumball Machine. Heather was so angry, she felt like kicking every single one of the stupid gumballs into oblivion. Unfortunately she couldn't do that, or else she wouldn't get out. So she started walking.

After awhile something was visible, a light, in the sky. When Heather got to the final destination she saw what it was..gumball stairs. Each of the two gumballs that made up these stairs was spinning rapidly. Next to these stairs was a sign. One that reminded her of her Gumdrop Challenge. On this sign was:

These are the Gumball Stairs. Once you cross these, you are free to leave and go back home. Each of the steps represents a different integer question. The first step is based on subtraction, the other on addition AND subtraction. Good Luck.

The first question seemed intimidating at first, but Heather soon figured out a way that she could answer it.

(+3) - (-12) = ?




"The answer is (+15)" said Heather. Suddenly, the first spinning gumball stopped. Overjoyed that she had gotten the question right, Heather jumped on the first stair. Looking down she noticed that the gumball was suspended in mid-air, with nothing underneath. She gulped. The next question was written on the next gumball. Leaning carefully, Heather read:


This is the last question. If you answer it, you will go home safe and sound. If you do not..well, we'll see, won't we?


Again she was angry. Of all people, it had to be HER that was stuck in the middle of a Gumball Machine that looked to be possessed. It took awhile, but Heather finally remembered how to figure out this question.


The last gumball stopped spinning. Heather stepped onto it, then into the bright light.

She died.

No, just kidding. Heather realized she was back home, and was filled with joy. She hoped she would never again have to go through a talking food course, and she never had to ever again.

THE END

Michelle's Integer Story


Once upon a time there was this very busy girl named Crystal. She was one very busy person. Everyday she had to go to her new work, take care of her kids, make dinner, and stay up late doing all of the extra things she had to do. So she wasn't the kind of person that would get alot of sleep. So one day, she went to work, took care of her kids, made dinner, and she actually got to sleep way more than she usually does. She was so tired and happy that she got to sleep at 9:30 pm. When she laid down on her bed, she immediately fell asleep. Usually she just sleeps right in not remembering what she had dreamed, this time she did remember every single thing she dreamed.

It all started with white clouds. Then, some kind of Angel appeared, her name was Annie. She started to talk to Crystal by saying "Hello Crystal, my name is Annie." Crystal was very confused, she didn’t know what was going on. So she responded by saying “Uhm, hi?” Annie knew that Crystal was very confused but she just kept on talking. “I have a task for you, You know that great big silver building there?” Annie pointed to the silver building. “Yeah?” Crystal said confused. “Well if you can answer these four integer questions, using a number line for one integer question, pictures for the second integer question, words for the third integer question, and the fourth integer question will be a surprise. If you answer all of these questions correctly, you may get all the sleep you can get for every single day as you wish and still get all the things that you need to get done.” Crystal was very confident that she will get all these questions right because she always does them at work. So she responded, “Yes of course I would love to answer the questions! I really need all the sleep I can get!” So Annie thought that Crystal could do it, she really wanted to help her as much as she can. So Annie began to give Crystal her first integer question. “Solve this question using a number line.” Annie handed Crystal the piece of paper, the equation was (+5) + (+5) = ?. Crystal knew right away what was the answer so she wrote quickly the answer on the number line. That said:

She handed the piece of paper to Annie. “Very well done Crystal, you are one step closer to the big silver building where you will get all the sleep you will get.” Crystal was proud of herself and was eager to get the second piece of paper. Annie handed it to her “Here is your second integer equation, solve this question using pictures!” The piece of paper wrote “(+3) + (-5) =?” Crystal knew it right away she knew she had to take away all the zero pairs so she wrote: and handed it to Annie. Annie was impressed and said “Very well done! Now, here’s your last integer question, you MUST solve it using WORDS”. Annie handed Crystal the piece of paper and it wrote “(+6) + (-3) =?” Crystal thought it was a piece of cake. She remembered what her junior high math teacher Mr. Harbeck taught her. So she wrote down her answer and she put: then handed it to Annie. Annie started to shake her head like she was so proud of Crystal. " Perfect! Now, here's the surprise question, you must make your OWN integer question!" Crystal thought it was really easy so she did what she needed to do.
“Great job! Now, here’s the key to the big silver building. Once you get there, there will be a bed there, all you have to do is lay down on the bed and dream that you are getting the sleep that you need every night”. Crystal began to say “Thank you so much Annie! I hope we see each other again some time!” Crystal started to run as fast as she can until she was right in front of the big silver building. She was really excited and opened the door as fast as she could, she saw the bed and did what Annie told her to do. She was hoping that everything would turn out what she thought would be but once she actually woke up .. something happened that shouldn't of happen.


TO BE CONTINUED!


She woke up and there was this OTHER angel standing there. He didn't talk what so ever in the beginning. He just held up signs with integer equations. Only this time it was subtracting. Crystal knew right away that she had to solve the equation. He gave her a piece of paper. The equation was (+6) - (+8). She started to solve the equation by a method that her junior high math teacher Mr.Harbeck taught her. Crystal came up with:


The angel skimmed through the paper and gave her a thumbs up. She then handed Crystal another sheet of paper of an integer equation. Only this time it was much longer and confusing. Crystal again used a method that Mr. Harbeck taught her. The equation was -7 - (-5) - (5) +8. She saw the zero pair and started to write down her answer. This is what she came up with this time:



The angel was every impressed. She started to talk very fast that Crystal didn't even get to ask what her name was. The angel said " Good job Crystal. Annie just wanted to test you if you really knew your integers because she said that it is going to help you in the long run. Well, once i pinch you, you are going to officially wake up and you will have your normal day and you will get as much sleep as you want. In the count of three. 1, 2, 3" POOF! Crystal had a huge headache and didnt remember ANYTHING that she had dreamed. Her headache was bugging her so much that she couldn't go to work. Everything was JUST a dream that did not come true (sadly). But in the future, she quit her job because she wanted more time with her family and more sleep. She found a new job and is settle in with that one. Crystal still continues to do integer equations in her spare time. Until this day, she hadnt rememberd anything from that dream.

THE END!

Hanbit's Integer Story

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there was a princess named Lynn. Lynn was those fairytale book princesses, but always got ignored by authors and publishers because she didn't have a fancy name like Cinderella or Rapunzel. Anyways, Lynn got up one morning, got into her morning dress and went outside for a walk with her dog. After an hour, she got tired and decided to lie down in a field of grass. She looked up at the clouds and felt tired, so she took a little nap. When Lynn woke up, she found her dog gone and herself in a weird place. Everything was made out of fluffy material and it felt like she was going to fall at every step she took. When she looked down, she saw tiny buildings, and squares of fields. She noticed she was walking on clouds! Lynn screamed and expected to fall but instead something hit her leg. It was a penguin! The penguin asked her, "If you want to go back on land, you have to answer this question! What's (-8) + (-13)?" Lynn thought hard, and she suddenly thought of a number line! Lynn told the penguin that the answer was -21. "Correct!" said the penguin, and with a cloud of puffy purple smoke, he vanished. "HEY! Hey!" yelled Lynn. What was she supposed to do when the penguin didn't even keep his deal? She sighed and walked around some more. She bumped into a goose that appeared to be flying south but lost his way. "Excuse me! Sorry, but how do you get down from here?" Lynn asked. The goose honked, "I'll help you get down from here if you tell me the answer to this question. What's (-4) + (+4)?" Lynn thought of another way to answer the math question. She thought of bingo, which made her think of bingo chips, which made her think of integer chips! "I know what the answer is! It's 0!" said Lynn. The goose nodded his head and told her to hop on his back. Lynn did as he told and the goose dove down. He dove deeper, deeper and deeper. Lynn's cheeks flubbed against the wind and she screamed as the goose came to a screeching stop. The goose smiled and said, "You're welcome!" Before Lynn could say anything, he took off again to the clouds. Lynn looked around and smiled, she was so happy to be back on land. But she noticed that something was missing... her dog! She looked around and asked everyone if they saw her missing dog. One person said that she did but she would only tell Lynn where she saw her missing dog if she answered another integer question. "What's (5) + (-3) ?" Lynn was puzzled and didn't know any other strategy to use to answer the question! She thought of money and came up with this answer.. "I think the answer is +2!" exclaimed Lynn, hoping to be right. The person nodded her head and smiled. "Your dog is somewhere inside a building that has a big H on it. That's all." The person replied, and brushed past her. Lynn sighed and looked around for a building that had a big H. She gave up hope and asked people where she could find a building with a big H on it. One person said there was no such building. Another person said that it was far, far away. At last, there was a person who could help her. His name was Prince. "I know where you can that building, but first you have to answer my question. What's (2) + (+7) + (-2)?" Lynn laughed because she thought it was such an easy question that she didn't even need to use any strategy at all!Prince showed her the way and led her inside the building. Lynn heard a dog bark and ran to every room to find her dog! When she finally did, Prince blocked her way. "Move man!" Lynn yelled, desperate to go home with her dog but Prince shook his head. Prince told her that the dog belonged to him, not her and that she couldn't go home with it. Lynn couldn't believe her ears, and all the trouble she went through just for this! Prince smiled evilly and told Lynn to go home without the dog but she wasn't the type of princess who could just easily buy another dog. She was someone who didn't go down without a fight!

Lynn yelled at Prince, throwing a shoe at his face. But Prince didn't even move, he just stayed at the exact same spot for hours and hours. Finally Lynn got tired and wanted to just go home. "Eh, who needs a dog anyways? I have lots more at home." Lynn said and turned around. Before she even took one step, Prince coughed loudly. "Sooooo... You don't want your dog anymore?" Lynn just shook her head and walked to the doorway of the building. She heard her dog bark but she pretended not to care, when inside, she really wanted her dog back. Prince grunted and said, "What if... I'll give him back to you?" Lynn raised her eyebrows and turned her head. "BUT... You have to answer a really tricky question and I'll give the dog back to you." Lynn laughed and rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I can do this!" Prince laughed back at her, "Then what's (+6) - (-4) =?" Lynn's eyes went really big. She never learned how to subtract integers! She panicked and her eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of her socket. Lynn thought hard, and remembered how she solved the other questions, with integer chips! So she decided to use them again and it looked like this...

"The answer is.. +10, right?" Lynn said. Prince looked BEWILDERED, he was flabbergasted, he was shocked and amazed! He didn't know what to say, but he was very pleased that Lynn got the question right because he was actually scared of dogs. Prince nodded his head so many times that Lynn thought it was going to roll of his neck. She scoffed and remarked, "I told you. I'm just smart." She took her dog and walked out of the building. But the Prince was too surprised that he didn't want Lynn to leave! "WAIT!" He was going to yell her name, but then, he remembered that they didn't even know each other's names! Prince just ran after her, out onto the busy streets. He looked around but couldn't find Lynn anywhere! Little did he know that Lynn was behind behind a trash can that was in the alley of the building. She laughed quietly, but her dog barked so loud that it echoed through the trash cans and out to Prince's ear. Prince spun around and smiled, when he spot the Lynn who was squashed between a garbage can, and a dog. Lynn rolled her eyes and stood up, asking, "What do you want?" Prince smiled and said, "Since you're an unknown princess and I'm a very famous prince that's known in EVERY fairytale, you'll become a very famous princess! So... why don't you marry me?" Lynn stood there, too shocked to say anything. "Excuse me? ME? AN UNKNOWN PRINCESS?! Pfft, and what fairy tales are you mentioned in?" Lynn asked. Prince laughed like he was proud and replied, "In every one of them. Like, Cinderella, my name was mentioned and in Rap-" Lynn waved her arms in front of him, motioning for him to stop talking. "Whatever. If you want to marry me so bad, you have to answer a question. It's going to be the hardest one ever. What's (+2) - (-5) + (+5) - (-2)?" Prince scoffed, "That's the EASIEST one ever." He was a very smart prince and thought that if there were 2 uh-ohs beside each other, you have to replace them with 2 plus signs. In his head, his thought process looked like this..."The answer is +14! Now, will you marry me? We can end this story with a 'happily ever after!'!" remarked Prince, anxious for her to be his wife. "That's... right. I think.." sighed Lynn, she didn't even want to be his wife! She didn't even want to marry! She sadly nodded yes, and walked away with her dog. Prince and Lynn married a week after that. She didn't know what kind of person Prince was! He was so nice to her, and he understood her. Lynn was happy, and so was Prince! Lynn was also happy because what Prince said was true! Lynn actually did become a very famous princess. A story was written about her, but not a normal prince rescues princess kind of fairytale. It was called Hanbit's Integer Story! Anyways,they both lived happily ever after.

Scribepost for October 24th, 08

Hello you guys, sorry it's not even the 24th today, but the scribepost is for last Friday.
Mr. Harbeck told us to make an integer story that requires 4 to 8 pictures. 4 pictures that have a question ( (+4) + (+8) =? ) and 4 pictures that have the answer ( (+4) + (+8) = +12). The pictures can be done on paint or it can be taken on a digital camera and uploaded onto your computer. The end must have 'to be continued'. The tags you make must be your display name, wworkshop, intstory. Don't capitalize any letters. If you kind of don't get what i'm explaining, you can look at all the other pro integer stories that the other people made.
Well, I think this might be enough for explaining the integer story? HAHA well , sorry I did such a sucky job and i'm sorry if it's all confusing and weird.. Anyways, the next scriber is.. CARRIE! :D good luck!

Krissia's Integer Story

It was a typical day at Integeria Island. Pablo woke up at 6:30 in the morning like always and got dressed up to go to school. After eating his breakfast, he went to pick up his friend Austin so they could walk together. On his way to Austin's house, Pablo tripped over a rock and rolled down the hill. When he stopped, he bumped into a tree. When he woke up, he didn't know where he was and he was really scared. Then he noticed the tree saying something. Then Pablo asked the tree which way is the path from here. The tree said "if you solve this question I'll show you the way out of these woods and get back to the path" and still pick up Austin on time for school. So, the tree asked Pablo what was (-8)+(+8)+(-2)= what ? It was a standard integer question!
Pablo tried so hard to answer it because he was going to have a test about integers at school that day. Pablo really tried to answer the question and he got (-2). Pablo told the tree that it was (-2) and the tree said that he was right. Then Pablo was happy that he got it right. So the tree showed Pablo which way to go.

On his way back to the path he took a little rest because it was a little bit hot. While he was sitting down, he saw a little stream. He went to where the stream and took a sip of the cold spring water. When he took a sip of water, he saw another integer question but this time he has to answer on a number line. And it says (+4)+(-5)= ? Pablo answered this one too and he got (-1) and he got it right again. When he answered the question, he left and got back to the path.

When he got to his friend Austin's house. When he knocked on the door he noticed a brush filled with rose flowers and they were pretty. Beside that bush he saw another integer question and the question says that if he answers this question he will get better when answering integer questions. So, Pablo was trying to answer this question and it says (+6)+(-2)= ? Pablo tried so hard but he couldn't answer this question. So he knocked on Austin's door and he answered. Pablo asked if he could him with the integer question that was outside his home. So they tried to answer this question with the relation of money. So Pablo said "If you have 6 dollars and you owe my 2" Then he asked "How much do you have left?" Then Austin answered "Then I only have 5 dollars left." Then they both said that the answer is (+5). And there were right and also improving in math. After answering that question they were really happy. They were happy that they answered it right and they are really improving on answering integer questions.When they were walking to school they suddenly saw a little box at the edge of th path and it says "What is (-7)+(+2)
equals to?" This question was a hard one too because they are still learning how to use the integer chips at school and they wanted to use the integer chips on this one. But they still tried to use the integer chips. It was really hard but they answered it anyway and they got (-5). It was (-5) and they started jumping because they didn't know how to use the integers chip but they tried, so they got the right answer.

After jumping so happily they noticed that Austin forgot his backpack at home. So they went running back to Austin's house because they didn't want to miss school and especially they don't want to miss their math test...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Continuation:
On their way back to Austin's house as fast as they can. "Hurry up Pablo before my parents leave the house!" Austin's said. When they got to the house, they knock on the door and no one answer. They a bird flew over them and dropped a piece or paper. It read: If you answer this question, you will find the key to the door. What is 9-23=__ So austins thought about it and yelled the answer. "The answer is -14" Then the bush and the side started to flash. "There's the key!" Pablo yelled. He quickly grapped it and gave it to Austin. He opened the door and quickly ran upstairs to his room and look for his backpack. When he found it he quickly ran downstairs. They quickly ran outside to lock the door but they can't. Then they found another piece of paper and it read: You must answer this question and the door will lock. What is -10-3+8-2+__ Austin and Pablo thought about it and they got -7. Then this time it was Pablo who yelled it and he yelled "The answer is -7!" The door closes and they got back to school safely and did the math test and they past. I think it's finish.. THE END

Gelli's Integer Story

Today when Lorilyn woke up she couldn't find her favourite teddy bear that she got from her mother when she was just a baby. Lorilyn couldn't live without that teddy bear if it wasn't with her. She looked everywhere in her house and outside. Lorilyn just couldn't find it anywhere. Then all of a sudden a butterfly landed on her bed saying.
" if you ever want to see your teddy bear again, solve this math question: (+2) + (+8) = __." She was thinking very hard on how to solve it and a few minutes she thought of solving it with algebra tiles. T
he answer she got was....

The butterfly said.
" That's correct! But your not done yet. You still have to answer 3 more math questions or MORE until you see your teddy bear. Now follow me and I'll show you the next math question."
So, Lorilyn followed the butterfly and stopped in front of her house. Lorilyn asked the butterfly why they stopped. The butterfly said.
" Look down. The next math question is written near the sidewalk. Go find it and solve it from there!"
So, Lorilyn looked around and finally found the math question. She looked at the question and thought really hard on how she can solve it. The math question was: (+15) + (-3) = ___. Lorilyn looked for something to write with and she found colourful chalk at the end of the sidewalk. She took that and solved it with a number line. In a few seconds, she solved it! The answer she got was...

The butterfly flew in to Lorilyn's hand and said.
" Good job! You solved the math question correctly. Now follow me and I'll show you the next math question."
As they were walking, they went to a
big, big, tree. Lorilyn said.
" What are we doing standing in front of a
big, big tree?"
The butterfly said.
" We're standing here because the next math question is on one of the big tree leaves leaf. You need to find a very
colourful tree leaf so that you can find and solve the next math question."
Lorilyn looked all around the
big, big tree but couldn't find
colourful leaf. So she sat down for a bit to get rest. While she was sitting down, she suddenly looks at her shoe and finally spots a colourful leaf. She looked at the leaf and saw the next math question. The next math question was: (+18) + (-4) = ___. Lorilyn thought really, really hard and finally solves it. The answer she got was.....

The butterfly landed on the colourful leaf and said.
" Wow, you are really smart Lorilyn! But just wait and see what the next math question you will be doing."
The butterfly and Lorilyn flew and walked towards a talking dog. His name was Freddy. The butterfly said.
" Freddy, meet Lorilyn. Now tell Lorilyn what the next math question she will be doing next."
Freddy said.
" Hi Lorilyn, the next math question you will be doing is: (-8) + (+8) + (+2) = ___. Lorilyn says.
" Thank you Freddy for telling me the next math question." Freddy says " You are very welcome!"
Lorilyn didn't really get the question at first but as she kept thinking really hard, she soon figured it out! The answer she got is....

The butterfly said.
" Good job Lorilyn! You are so smart, that I thought you weren't going to solve this math question right. But I was wrong. GOOD JOB!"
The next part of your journey of finding your
teddy bear is finding more math questions but you will be solving it differently......... TO BE CONTINUED.




CONTINUATION.....


"Lorilyn, now you must walk to your school playground and find the sandbox. The sandbox is the place where will you solve your next math question. This next question might be very tricky, so solve it very carefully." The butterfly said.
So, Lorilyn walked to the school playground and looked for the sandbox. Once she found it she saw the next question. It was (+4) - ( +3) = ___. This is what Lorilyn got.....

Lorilyn showed the butterfly how she solved it and what answer she got. The butterfly said.
" That's correct! Good job! I thought you would get confused on how you were going to solve this but you got it correct! GREAT JOB! (: Now the next question you will be doing is that last one. So get ready because if you don't solve this question correctly you won't be able to see your teddy bear ever again!"
Lorilyn said.
" Thank you. I thought really hard about this question so I can get solve it correctly. Now where is the next math question."
The butterfly answered and said.
"Go to the small park near your house and look for the swings."
Lorilyn went to the park and looked for the swings. She saw a glowing red swing with a letter saying the next and last math question. It read (+2) - (+6) + (-2) = ___. Lorilyn had a very hard time solving this question and had a lot of pressure on her. She didn't want to solve it wrong but she tried her very best and the answer she got was.......


The butterfly said.
" That is......CORRECT! GREAT JOB LORILYN, you finally finished solving all the math questions you have done. Now your favourite teddy bear that you have been looking for is next to the other swings on your right. Remember, don't ever loose the things that are really important to you. You are a very smart child, stay that way. I hope we see each other in the future again! Bye Lorilyn! (: "
Lorilyn said.
"Thank you for the math questions you have made me solve. They have taught me a lot and made me think of never ever loosing the important things in my life. This was a very fun adventure with you. I hope we do see each other in the future! Thank you for all your help and lessons! Bye butterfly! (: "

THE END! (:
