Chapter 2 Integers and Rational Numbers (take out chapter 1 from your notebook and leave ch1 stuff at home in a folder to study off of for star test and final project)
2.1 Integers and the Number Line Objectives: 1.To give an integer that corresponds to a real-world situation 2.To compare integers using 3.To find the absolute value of a number
Integers Any number such as... –4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... Positive Integers are greater than zero. Negative Integers are less than zero. “Zero” is neither positive or negative.
Number Line
Two numbers are OPPOSITES of one another if they are the same distance from zero but in opposite directions and -6 are opposites.
4 and -4 are opposites
Absolute Value: The number of units a number is from zero on the number line. (Always Positive) |-4| = 4
Absolute Value: (Always Positive) |6| = 6
Find the Opposite and the Absolute Values of
Find the Opposite and the Absolute Values of Opposite of –7 is 7 7 units
Find the Opposite and the Absolute Values of |-7| = 7 7 units
Evaluating Absolute Value Before you evaluate find the absolute value of the number then do the operation Example: = = 9
Example: Evaluate t – 15 for t = -36 = =36-15 =21
Write an integer that means “a profit of $4 +4
Write an integer that means “12 yards gained” +12
Write an integer that means “a loss of 73 points on the NASDAQ” -73
Write an integer that means “losing 11 pounds on a diet” -11
INCREASERIGHT On a number line, values INCREASE as you go RIGHT
Big Number > Little # Or Little # < Big NumberLittle # < Big Number
True or False? -5 < True
True or False? -6 < True
True or False? 6 < False
True or False? -6 > False
Write the integers –4, 5, 3, -2, and 0 from least the greatest , -2, 0, 3, 5
