NO CALCULATORS!!!!!!!
Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites (no decimal values!)
Example: -3 is an integer Example: 4 is an integer Example: 7.3 is not an integer
Adding integers comes down to two rules Rule 1: If the signs (+ or -) are the same,
simply add the numbers and keep that value Example: -4 + -8 = -12 (because 4 + 8 is 12) Rule 2: If the signs are different, simply
subtract the number closest to zero from the number further away from zero and keep the sign of the number furthest from zero
Example: 3 + -7 = -4 (because 7 – 3 is 4)
Subtraction and addition are friends, so subtraction just changes itself to addition by changing the second number’s sign. Make sure you follow the addition rules after that.
Example: -4 – 6 means -4 + -6 = -10
They, too, are friends so they share the rules
Rule 1: When the signs are the same (either + + or - -) simply do the operation and the answer will be positive
Example: -25 ÷ -5 = 5 (since it is - -) Rule 2: When the signs are different
(either + - or - +) simply do the operation and the answer will be negative
Example: -4 • 8 = -32 (since it is - +)
-5 + 8 -3 + 2 -11 + -4
3 -1 -15 -11 – 4 15 – (-2) -1 – (-6) -15 17 5 7 • -4 -8 • -3 -11 • 2 -28 24 -22 -36 ÷ 9 12 ÷ -4 -28 ÷ -7 -4 -3 4
