Integers
The absolute value of 12.
+12
Compare -8 and 6
-8 < 6
12 + (-12)
0
5 - 10
-5
Whole numbers and their opposites.
integers
Why is this incorrect? (-2) - (2) = 0
The numbers were subtracted without taking the negative into account. The answer is (-4)
The opposite of 5
-5
Compare -1 and -4.
-1 > -4
-3 + (-5)
-8
-5 - 10
-15
Numbers greater than zero
positive integers
Why is this incorrect? (23) - (-13) = 10
Use the rule "Add the Opposite" Answer should be 36
|-42|
42
l-6l and -l7l
l-6l > -l7l
-14 + (-10)
-24
-29 - 14
-43
The distance a number is from zero.
absolute value
To model -3 + 9, you have 3 red counters and 9 yellow counters for a total of 12 counters.
Red counters and yellow counters cancel out with zero pairs. So there would only be 6 counters left = 6.
The integer that represents paying $26 for a pair of shoes.
-26
Order from least to greatest: 0, -2, 4
-2, 0, 4
-12 + (-5) + 4
-13
-26 - (-52)
26
Rule when adding integers with different signs
Different signs - subtract
On a number line, to show -18 - 5, you start at -18 and then move right 5 to get -13.
Subtracting a positive means to move left. So from -18, you should move left 5 to get to -23.
The integer that represents $50 in a bank account.
+50
Order for from greatest to least: -7, 0, -3, 2
