Can this possibly be True?

 

This activity is being updated =). 

 

Could this possibly be true? What is reasonable? How do you check? Do you believe everything that you hear or read? Do you fact-check?

While considering the veracity of this statement students will need to subtract negative numbers in a very meaningful way.

Thanks to Lenny Monson for the idea for this activity.
