    Vocabulary
    Integer:
    Positive or negative whole numbers including zero.
    Negative Integers:
    -5, -4, -3, -2, -1
    Positive Integers:
    +1, +2, +3, +4, +5
    Opposite Value:
    Two numbers that add up to zero. The opposite of -5 is +5
    because -5 +5 =0
    The absolute value is how far a number is from 0 (zero) on
    a number line, on either side of 0 (zero). The absolute
    value of a number is always positive. The absolute value of
    2 and of -2 are both 2 as they are both 2 units from 0
    (zero).
    The symbol for absolute value is

    Operations on Integers:
    Adding Integers:
    Always try to make integer expressions into a little
    story. For Example:

    +3-6 could mean that you had $3 and then you spent
    $6. Now you owe $3. (+3-6=-3)

    +6+7 could mean that you had $6 and then you earned
    $7 more. Now you have $13. (+6+7=+13)

    -2+4 could mean that you owed $2 and then you earned
    $4. You paid off your dept and now have $2 left.
    (-2+4=+2)

    -6-4 could mean that you borrowed $6 and then you


    borrowed $4 more. You now owe $10. (-6-4=-10)

    General Rules for Adding Integers:


    If the signs are the Same:
    Keep the sign and add the two numbers together.
    -11-6 = -17
    OR
    +12+7 = +19
    If the signs are different:
    Take the sign of the number with the largest absolute
    value and then find the difference (subtract) the numbers.
    -15+12 = -3
    OR
    +12-9 = +3

    Visual Strategy for Adding Integers:


    Question: (-8) + (+2)
    Strategy #1: Tug of War
    Visualize a tug of war between 2 sides. On the negative
    side there are 8 and on the positive side there are 2. This
    means that the negative side wins by 6 so the answer is -6.
    Stategy #2: Numbers in Boxes
    1) place the numbers each in a box with the sign above it.
    2) Ask yourself 2 questions: which box is greater and by
    how much.
    +

    The negative sign wins by 6 so -6 is the answer.

    Multiplying and Dividing Integers:


    When Signs are different ( 1 positive, 1 negative),
    the product or quotient (answer) always ends up
    with a negative (-) sign.
    Multiplying (X):
    You borrow $6 from your mother on Monday,
    Tuesday and Wednesday. Now you owe her $18.
    (-6) X (+3) = -18
    Dividing ():
    You need to borrow $6. You borrow even amounts
    from 2 different friends. How much will you owe
    each friend?
    (-6) (+2) = -3
    When signs are the same ( 2 positives or 2
    negatives), the product or quotient (answer) always
    ends up with a positive (+) sign.
    (+6) X (+4) = +24

    (-5) X (-6) = +30

    (+10) (+2) = (+5)

    (-12) (-3) = (+4)

    Visual Strategy for Determining the Sign when


    Multiplying and Dividing Integers:
    Question: (-6) x (+2)
    Strategy #1: Triangle Signs
    1) Draw the triangle as shown
    2) Cross out the two signs given (- and +). The
    remaining sign (-) is your answer.

    and 6 x 2 = 12 so the answer is -12.


    Subtraction of Integers:
    There are two ways to subtract integers:
    Method 1: Change the sign and the operation. In other
    words: Add the opposite integer.
    i.e. (-4) - (-4)
    i.e. (-6) - (+7)
    =(-4) + (+4)
    =0

    =(-6) + (-7)
    = -13

    Page 6

    i.e. (+5) - (-6)

    i.e. (+5) - (+3)

    =(+5) + (+6)
    = +11

    = (+5) + (-3)
    = +2

    Method 2: Use the integer rules for multiplication to


    remove the brackets, then add the numbers.
    i.e. (-4) - (-4)
    = -4 + 4
    =0

    i.e. (-6) - (+7)


    = -6 - 7
    = -13

    Exponents with Integers


    (-2)3= -2 x -2 x -2 = -8
    (-2)4 = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
    *If the base is negative and in brackets, then the answer is
    positive if the exponent is even and the answer is negative
    if the exponent is odd.
    -24= -16 * this answer is negative because it is negative 24 .
    You record the negative after because it is not in brackets.

    These
    Brackets are
    to separate
    signs only.

    Order of Operations (BEDMAS)


    i.e.
    B
    E
    M

    (4-7)2 X (6-7)2
    (-3)2 X (-1)2
    +9 X +1
    +9

    i.e. -12-(-5) X (-2)


    M -12 -(+10)
    S -12 -10
    A -22
