When you add a positive number and negative number, is the answer positive or negative?
In this lesson you will learn to add positive and negative integers by using a number line.
What’s an integer? Integers include positive and negative whole numbers as well as 0. ...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ... More Examples: -5 3 28 -9 1 0
What’s addition? Addition is the process of joining two groups. 7 + 11 = 18 addend sum addend
Adding a positive and negative integer like two positives and applying the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. -4 + 6 = 10 - 4 + (-6) = -10 -
Positive Direction Negative Direction Negative Numbers Positive Numbers
8 + (-2) =6 Negative Direction -2 8 6 Positive Numbers
8 + (-13) =-5 Negative Direction -13 8 -5 Positive Numbers
-2 8 + (-2) =6 8 6 -13 8 + (-13)=-5 8 -5
In this lesson you learned to add positive and negative integers by using a number line.
-12 + 8 -12 + 15
Try graphing two addition problems with opposite numbers on the same graph. • For example, use -15 + 3 and 15 + (-3). • Write about what you notice.
Use what you know about adding positive and negative numbers to fill out the table using mental math.
Partner Game: • Write the integers -20 through +20 on small pieces of paper and turn them face down. • You and your partner pull 2 numbers. Sum the integers by graphing the process on a number line. The person with the greater sum gets a point. Repeat.
Simplify 9 + (-7). What is the sum of -6 and -13?
