A DDING AND S UBTRACTING We can use the same rules we found for integers for rational numbers Adding Rule 1: If the signs are the same Add and keep the same sign Adding Rule 2: Different signs Subtract and use larger sign Subtracting Rule: Keep-Change-Change
4
F RACTIONS Let’s review Example 1: Try this one: OR I could use Keep-Change-Change!
5
M ORE F RACTIONS Problem 1: Remember: We subtract to find our answer because we are battling our zero pairs!
6
T RY T HIS O NE : Problem 2: Remember we want to wait until we have a common denominator before we decide which fraction has a bigger absolute value.
7
A C OUPLE M ORE : Problem 3: Subtraction Problem 4: Keep-Change-Change!
8
M IXED N UMBERS Problem 1: Problem 2: Whoa! That looks easy! Let’s think about pizza… Remember this only works when they have the SAME SIGN!

P ROPERTIES Commutative Property of Addition: Numbers can be added in any order. Example: 5+3=3+5 Associative Property of Addition: Numbers can be grouped in any way. Example: (7+3) + 5 = 7 + (3+5) Identity Property of Addition: The sum of any number and zero is that number. Example: 18 + 0 = 18
