Wow, am I glad that Lynae and I did it first. We found that there were
many kinks with integers. The definition is whole numbers and their
opposites including zero. It was super hard to get that in the always
blank. Sometimes it is positive and sometimes it is negative, and
sometimes it can be a decimal (i.e., 12.0 because it equals a whole
number 12). After the first block, we worked out the kinks, and guided
our second block much better. We were able to work out the kinks for
the new teachers. I would hate for new teachers to have such a hard
time with it the first time they used it. They might never use it
again.
I observed Emery during her implementation. She did it excellently. See the implementation checklist. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BznIufwhQYE-czg2Nl9jbk9ibW8
I also did a checklist on her device. See the device checklist.

We found one little problem. The concept definition is perfect according to the math definition. However, Mrs. Young and I did not stress that she had to use the word "real" in the definition. She just used number. Mrs. Young and I will focus on that the next time we teach it to someone.
