I know how to add
Adding integers is fun
You can do it too
Tanka - Quotative
Dividing is hard
Not dividing is harder
You circle the squares
Then you count how many groups
Then you are done now!
Free verse - Subtraction
Subtraciting is very funWhen you know how to add one plus one
that makes it very fun
Subtracting is easy
But not for the weezy
Subtracting is impossible
But adding is possible
Free verse - Partitive
If you partitive you must share
Because sharing is caring
And caring is good
Being good is great
Great is better than being bad
And if you're bad I'll be mad
Haiku - Ron's rule
When I multiply
Odd amounts of negatives
You get negatives
Biff "Hi Mortimer, what did you do today?"
Mortimer "I went to school, nothing special."
Biff "What did you do at school today?"
Mortimer "I answered a question, n+3-5n+12."
Biff "And what was the answer Mortimer?"
Mortimer "-6n+15"
Biff "No! The answer is -4n+15."
Mortimer "Okay, chill man, chill."
Biff "Okay. I'm sorry for yelling at you. Here, I'll show you what you did wrong."
Mortimer "Aww man."
Biff "First you circle the first variable you see. Circle n and 5n."
Mortimer "Then you answer it?"
Biff "Don't try to rush me. You group them. Now the question is n-5n+12+3
Mortimer "Then you answer it?"
Biff "Then you answer it. n-5n is -4n and 12+3 is 15. The answer is now -4n+15."
Mortimer "We're done!"
Biff "Not quite. To see if you were really listening, answer this question, 2 + 4(3n+8)."
Mortimer "Umm. Is it 12n+10?"
Biff "No! What do you learn in school these days!"
Mortimer "Okay Biff, please don't hurt me!"
Biff "I won't hurt you buddy. You're my best friend. I'll show you how to do it. It's called distributive property."
Mortimer "Not another long word..."
Biff "Here's how you do it."
Mortimer "Biff I'm hungry so I'm going to grab a sand which."
Biff "You're not going anywhere until I burn this in your tiny pathetic head, you got that?"
Mortimer "O.K. I guess."
Biff "First I'll tell you the answer. 12n+34."
Mortimer "Okay, I'll say it. How'd you get that Biff?"
Biff "Well Mortimer first you circle the numbers you have to multiply in the brackets. So, you multiply 4 3n and 4 8 that's 12n and 32 then you just drop down the 2."
Mortimer "And now we solve it."
Biff "No we regroup the numbers so your question should look like this 12+32+2."
Mortimer "Now we solve it. 32+2 is 34. The answer is 12n+34, yay."

Nice Poems Sean! Before I say anythng, I love the colors you chose, it made everything stand out! I like how you told everyone that subtraction wasn't possible in Math. Shows that you were paying attention that day, because Harbeck said that exact words. (; I like how you got random when you were talking about Partitive. It was random, but it DID make sense, and it DID connect with Partitive Division. :). For Ron's Rule, I think you should have used the Free Verse Style, (if you could). So then you could also talk about the OTHER side to Ron's Rule. With postitive integers. But that's okay. Good job Sean. :) Great job.
