Use colored counters to answer the question. Typically, black counters represent a profit or a positive number, while red counters represent a loss or a negative number. Here, use white in place of red, that is, consider a white counter to mean what a red counter would in the typical case.Draw a colored counter diagram to represent -3.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Four possibilities are shown. The number of black counters subtract the number of white counters must equal -3, although the placement of counters does not matter.
