A variable is a letter that stands for a number

We use variables when we don’t know the number

A variable can be any letter

A VARIABLE EXPRESSION contains a variable and an operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

We can also write VARIABLE EXPRESSIONS such as

s + 9

When we add an integer and its opposite, the sum is zero

EXAMPLES: (-5) + 5 = 0

98 + (-98) = 0

Opposites are also called ADDITIVE INVERSES.

We can add integers using ZERO PAIRS.

There are 3 METHODS we can use to Add Integers.

METHOD 1
