Adding and Subtracting Integers

When it comes to math, school takes you gradually through most areas it covers, starting with basic calculus and operations. As such, specialized applications like Adding and Subtracting Integers aim to help teachers prepare test sheets for students so they can easily solve operations with integers.

On the one hand, the application can easily be carried around on a thumb drive to use on other computers besides your own, which comes in handy for instantly preparing a pop quiz at school. What’s more, usage doesn’t have any impact whatsoever on system registry entries, so you don’t have to worry about affecting the stability of the target PC.

Configuring a test sheet requires little effort, with most decisions revolving around the type of terms to include, and how lengthy the test needs to be. The application lets you include two, three, four, or five term-based operations, as well as the number of occurrences in the test.

Needless to say that this has an effect on the length of the test, but it’s also possible to specify the maximum numbers of a type of question to use, total items, as well as maximum number of pages. Additional options include a shuffle function, whether to include positive, and negative numbers, addition, subtraction, question separator, absolute value, and a few more.

As soon as you hit the “generate” button the preview of the test sheet shows up on screen. It can be viewed in greater details, and depending on the question type, which can be multiple choice or free response, these are enlisted in a side panel. With everything in order, all that’s left to do is print out the test via a connected device. The test can be saved to file under a custom format, or as PDF.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Adding and Subtracting Integers is a practical, straightforward utility suitable for teachers working with initial grade students. Configuring test cases is a walk in the park, while default page layout is pretty intuitive, making this app worth a try overall.
