2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Goals / “I can…” Subtract rational numbers Apply subtraction
3
2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Example: Using a number line Yesterday when we added, we moved the line to the right. Today when we subtract we move it to the left.
4
2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Using your calculator, do the following problems: 5 + (-7) = 5 – 7 = -6 + (-3) = -6 – 3 = What conclusion can you make?
5
2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s RULE: Add the opposite - to subtract a number, switch the subtraction sign to add and take the opposite of the next number
