Directed Number Using Negative Numbers
Objective To able to –Add & Subtract negative numbers –Multiply & Divide negative numbers
A Directed Number… Is one which has a + or – sign attached To show its direction Positive & Negative numbers NOT Plus & Minus numbers Yes! NO!
From 0 on a number line to right 5 to right 5 to left
Adding numbers = + 5
Adding numbers = - 5
Adding numbers =
Adding numbers =
Try these a) b) c) d) Think of 1 st number as a starting point Think of 2 nd number as a move left or right
Subtracting numbers =
Subtracting numbers = is just -2
Subtracting numbers =
4 Volunteers with WHITEBOARDS How good a teacher am I? Give a mark between 1 and 10 Hold up your boards – show class SUBTRACT a NEGATIVE means ADD
Subtract a NEGATIVE number = So = + 3
Try these a) b) c) Think of 1 st number as a starting point Think of 2 nd number as a move left or right Think of SUBTRACT as a REVERSE of DIRECTION
Basic Rules ADD a POSITIVE means ADD ADD a NEGATIVE means SUBTRACT SUBTRACT a POSITIVE means SUBTRACT SUBTRACT a NEGATIVE means ADD = = = = + 3
Sometimes Textbooks give a number in a bracket 5 - ( + 2)= (+2) Sometimes Textbooks give the sign NOT raised = 5 - ( + 2)=

Multiply & Divide with Negative numbers
Multiplication x = + 6
-2-2 Multiplication x - 2 =
-2-2 Multiplication x - 2 =
Rule for Multiplication POSITIVE x POSITIVE = POSITIVE + 2 x + 3 = x - 3 = - 6 POSITIVE x NEGATIVE = NEGATIVE - 2 x - 3 = + 6 NEGATIVE x NEGATIVE = POSITIVE NEGATIVE x POSITIVE = NEGATIVE - 2 x + 3 = - 6 If SAME SIGN, answer is POSITIVE
Rule for Division POSITIVE ÷ POSITIVE = POSITIVE + 18 ÷ + 3 = ÷ - 3 = - 6 POSITIVE ÷ NEGATIVE = NEGATIVE - 18 ÷ - 3 = + 6 NEGATIVE ÷ NEGATIVE = POSITIVE NEGATIVE ÷ POSITIVE = NEGATIVE - 18 ÷ + 3 = - 6 If SAME SIGN, answer is POSITIVE Inverse of Multiplication

Using negative numbers in formulae We call putting a number into an expression Substitution
Examples If t = f + 7 If f = 5 If f = - 5 t = t = f + 7 t = 12 t = t = 2
Examples If t = 3q + 4 If q = 5 If q = - 5 t = 3x5 + 4 t = 3q + 4 3q = 3 x q t = t = 19 t = 3x t = t = - 11 NOT t = = 39
Examples If t = 5 If t = - 5 S = 5x5 S = t 2 t 2 = t x t S = 25 S = - 5x - 5S = 25
