Lesson 1 Adding Integers
Integers whole numbers that are positive negative zero
Is zero positive or negative? Number line Negative numbers Positive numbers < zero > zero Is zero positive or negative? Neither
Absolute Value how far a number is from zero
One Rule for Adding & Subtracting Integers “Always go right on the number line unless you get turned around by a subtraction or negative sign."
3 + 8 3 Sample 1 (Adding) Step 1: Draw your number line and zero Step 2: Locate the beginning integer
Sample 1 continued (Adding) = go right 3 + 8 Step 3: Determine your direction. 3 11 Step 4: Count out your moves Step 5: The Answer. Where do you end up?
Sample 2 (Adding a Negative) -2 + (-8) Step 1: Draw your number line and zero -2 Step 2: Locate the beginning integer. You can not go left or right with your starting integer. It is what it is!
Sample 2 continued (Adding a negative) = go right = turn left -2 + (-8) Step 3: Determine your direction. -10 -2 Step 4: Count out your moves Step 5: The Answer. Where do you end up?

Lesson 2 Subtracting Integers
-2 - 8 -2 Sample 3 (Subtracting) Step 1: Draw your number line and zero -2 Step 2: Locate the beginning integer
Sample 2 continued (Subtracting) = turn left -2 - 8 Step 3: Determine your direction. -10 -2 Step 4: Count out your moves Step 5: The Answer. Where do you end up?
