Working with positive and negative numbers is like driving in traffic. You have to watch the traffic signs and follow the driving rules.

Positive number – a number greater than zero.

Negative number – a number less than zero.

A great way to solve integers problems is to use a number line.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6-1-2-3-4-5-6

Most algebra textbooks use a horizontal number line.

http://www.mathslideshows.com

You start at the origin or zero.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6-1-2-3-4-5-6

Positive numbers move to the right.

Origin(Start)

Negative numbers move to the left.

-4 + 2

Origin(Start)

Start at the origin and move to -4

-4

Then move to +2

+2

Where you finish is your answer

= -2

The problem with horizontal number lines is that they can get confusing when you are subtracting negatives.

I prefer a VERTICAL NUMBER LINE because it is similar to an elevator.

Using a vertical number line is easier to relate to since most of us have been in an elevator!

Describe an easy way to add these integers?

When the signs are the same and you are adding, just add the numbers and the sign stays the same.

Write a rule to explain how to combine thesetypes of integers.

Different signs Differenceof numbers

Larger number determines the sign.

5 + -12 =-7-4 + 9 = 5

http://www.mathslideshows.com

Rule #1: If the signs are the same, pretend the signs aren’t there. Add the numbers. The sign stays the same.

4 + 3 =-4 + -3 =

+ + + + + + + 7

Rule #2 – If the signs are different pretend the signs aren’t there. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one. The larger number determines the sign.-9 + 5 =

9 - 5 = 4Subtract the numbers

Answer -4 because you started with more negatives

3 + -5 =-4 + 7 =(+3) + (-4) =-6 + 7 = 5 + -9 =-9 + 9 =

-25 – 3 = 2
