 Adding Integers Efficiently 2.4
E. Adding one positive and one negative number in your head.

1. Here’s how we learned how to add: -5 + 2

To add in your head, because the 2 positives “wipe out” 2 of the negatives:

___________ at 2 and count to 5 to determine how many negatives are ________

2. METHOD: 1) Start at the number of the one with the ______________.

2) Count to the number of the one with the _____________.

3) Give the ___________ of the one with the most.

a. - 18 + 12 b. -12 + 45

1) Start at ________ 1) Start at ________

2) Count to ________ = _______ 2). Count to ________ = _______

3) Give ________ sign = _______ 3) Give ________ sign = _______

c. - 45 + 105 d. - 36 + 11

1) Start at ________ 1) Start at ________

2) Count to ________ = _______ 2) Count to ________ = _______

3) Give ________ sign = _______ 3) Give ________ sign = _______

e. - 76 + 34 = f. - 88 + 24 =

g. - 28 + 94 = h. 44 + (- 99) =

i. 76 + (-25) = j. - 68 + 54 =
