Today’s lesson . . . What: Integer Applications (Word Problems) Why: . . . so I can analyze a variety of real-life integer applications/scenarios. How: . . . by taking accurate notes, participating in the lesson, and accurately completing homework.
What strategies can you use to analyze and solve word problems?
Analyzing a “word problem”: Read entire problem first. Read AGAIN and _______________ key words. 3. Set up the problem and _________. highlight solve
Key Words: SUM means ________________ . addition DIFFERENCE means ____________________ . PRODUCT means ________________________ . QUOTIENT means _______________________ . addition subtraction multiplication division
Together: -35 -50 -22 20 On Your Own: -3 25 10 42 What is the product of 7 and -5? What is the sum of –30 and -20? What is the difference between -5 and 17? What is the quotient of -100 and -5? -35 -50 -22 20 On Your Own: 5) What is the quotient of 24 and -8? 6) What is the difference between 5 and -20? What is the sum of -120 and 130? What is the product of -6 and -7 ? -3 25 10 42
10 – (-8) = 18 . . . so, the difference is 18°. Word problems: TOGETHER: HINT for next problems: Finding the difference between a positive and a negative number involves SUBTRACTING a negative!!! 1. It was a brisk 10°F on a wintery night in Alaska. However, the wind-chill factor made it feel like it was -8°F. What is the difference between these two temperatures? 10 – (-8) = 18 . . . so, the difference is 18°.
45 – (-15) = 60. . . so, the difference is 60⁰. YOUR TURN: HINT for next problems: Finding the difference between a positive and a negative number involves SUBTRACTING a negative!!! 2. The record low temperature for January in Augusta, Maine is -15°F, while the record high temperature is 45°F. What is the difference between the record high and the record low? 45 – (-15) = 60. . . so, the difference is 60⁰.
YOUR TURN: HINT: Read carefully, this one is different . . . 3. The temperature on Monday was 12°F. By Tuesday, it decreased 20 degrees. What was the temperature on Tuesday? 12 + (-20) = -8⁰F
TOGETHER: HINT for next problems: Add the total points up – follow your addition rules (Same signs, add. Different signs, subtract!) 4. Joe ended round 1 with $45,350. However, Bob ended round 1 with -$3,500. If their money were combined, how much would it total? 45,350 + (-3,500) = $41,850
Jason had 15 points in round 1, -20 points in round 2, YOUR TURN: HINT for next problems: Add the total points up – follow your addition rules (Same signs, add. Different signs, subtract!) 5. Jason had 15 points in round 1, -20 points in round 2, and 30 points in round 3. What was his total points for all 3 rounds? 15 + (-20) + 30 = 25
Jade’s bank account balance was $ - 75.00 on Monday. TOGETHER: HINT for next problems: The phrase “How much more . . .” means SUBTRACTION. These also involve finding the difference between a positive and a negative . . . 6. Jade’s bank account balance was $ - 75.00 on Monday. If she needs $125 by Christmas, how much more money does she need to earn? 125 – (-75) = $200
YOUR TURN: HINT for next problems: The phrase “How much more . . .” means SUBTRACTION. These also involve finding the difference between a positive and a negative . . . 7. Jake owes his parents $60, and has nothing in his savings. Josh has $250 in his savings. How much more money does Jake need in order to have as much as Josh? 250 – (-60) = $310
A Navy submarine was 50 ft. below sea level. It rose TOGETHER: HINT for next problems: Group the negative movements together. Do the same for the positives. Then, add them. 8. A Navy submarine was 50 ft. below sea level. It rose 15 ft., sank 90 ft., rose 20 ft., and sank 15 ft. Where is the submarine? (-50 + -90 + -15) = -155 (15 + 20) = 35 (-155 + 35) = -120 ft. below sea level
(4,100) + (-550) = 3,550 ft. above ground. YOUR TURN: HINT for next problems: Group the negative movements together. Do the same for the positives. Then, add them. 9. An airplane was at an elevation of 4,000 ft. above the ground. It descended 450 ft., and descended an additional 100 ft. However, it was in the flight path of another plane, so it ascended 100 ft. What is the plane’s altitude? (4,100) + (-550) = 3,550 ft. above ground.
Wrap-it-up (summary): What strategies can you use to analyze and solve word problems? Read the problem. Read the problem again and highlight key words. Set up the problem and solve it. Check to see if the answer makes sense!
