Grade 7, Lesson 8: Subtracting Integers

Math skill: Subtract Integers (7.NS.A.1c)

How the beat teaches it: Every slot subtracts a signed number — turn it into adding the opposite, then build the landing value's distance from zero anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 8 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 7, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, Adding Integers,” covered add Integers (7.NS.A.1b). Next is Lesson 9, Multiplying Integers.”

Every slot above (A, B, C, D) is its own question, and it’s a real, blank RockBlocks beat the whole time — the same drag-and-drop tiles, kit, tempo, sheet music, and drummer view as anywhere else on the site. Tap ❓ Questionin the corner to read the current slot’s problem, build your answer right in the grid, then tap ✓ Check Answerto grade it. Once you’re done, keep going: expand the beat, drop it into a Stack, or save a copy to your own page — nothing here overwrites the lesson itself, so every visitor still starts from the same blank slots.
