Greetings,
Welcome to the first Math Lesson. The format will include a short video that will review math topics, then there will be questions to answer. Many of the questions will be autograded when you submit at the end of a lesson. I will grade the other questions at least twice per week, so you will know your score in a day or two after you submit. Also, I may add a comment to your answer in Formative. You can also ask me questions through the comment feature in Formative or email me directly at rshaw@fergflor.org.
As lessons are released, they will stay open for about five weeks, so if you miss a week because of a trip, you can catch up. You can also redo any questions or lessons as many times as you wish.
Let's get started with Number Systems
Sincerely,

Start at the left and move to the right on the number line. As you move from left to right, do integers increase or decrease in value?
Integers include all the positive whole numbers and negative whole numbers plus zero.
