Adding integers notes

The document provides methods for adding integers using a number line and a mental method. It outlines steps for each method, including how to determine movement on the number line based on the sign of the integers and how to handle different and same signs when using mental calculations. Examples illustrate both methods for clarity.

Adding integers notes

Using a number line Using a mental


method

Using a number line:

Steps:
1. Look at the sign right before the SECOND
integer
2. If (+) → move to the right
If (-) → move to the left
3. Starting point is the FIRST integer
Example:
RIGHT
Starting
Point
-4 + 5 =

5 spaces to the right

mm
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Answer = 1
Using a mental method
i

Steps:
1. Check if signs are same or different and
write and note of that
2. If different →
1. Find absolute values of both integers
2. Highlight bigger absolute value
3. Calculate bigger absolute value - smaller
absolute value
4. Use sign of bigger
If same →
1. Find absolute values of both integers
2. Add both absolute values
3. Use sign of both integers
Note :
Absolute value is integer WITHOUT THE
SIGN

Example: 1 Bigger
3 6

3 + (-6) Different

6 - 3 = _3

Answer = -3
Example: 1
7 9

-7 + (-9) Same

7 + 9= _16

Answer = -16
