What are opposite numbers? Give an example.

Opposite numbers are pairs of numbers that are the same distance from zero but have different signs. One number is positive and the other is negative.

Example:

  • The opposite of 5 is -5.
  • The opposite of -8 is 8.

These pairs are positioned on opposite sides of zero on the number line. For instance, 5 is to the right of zero, while -5 is to the left.

What is absolute value? Explain using number line. Provide an example in your explanation. 

Absolute value is the distance from zero on a number line. It is always positive since distance is always positive. An example is +5 and -5 both have a a distance of 5 from zero on the number line.

Explain what magnitude is in terms of integers and the number line. 

Magnitude in relation to integers refers to the size or absolute value of a number, regardless of its sign. Here’s how it relates to the number line:

  1. Position on the Number Line: The magnitude of an integer tells you how far it is from zero on the number line. For example, both -5 and 5 have a magnitude of 5, but they are positioned on opposite sides of zero.

  2. Comparison: When comparing integers, the one with the larger magnitude (absolute value) is farther from zero. For example, -8 has a greater magnitude than -3 because -8 is farther from zero.

  3. Ordering: When ordering integers, you can use magnitude to determine their relative positions. The integers with the largest magnitudes (in absolute value) will be the farthest from zero, whether they are negative or positive.

In summary, magnitude helps you understand how far numbers are from zero, which is key to comparing and ordering integers on a number line.

Green counters represent positive numbers. Red counters represent negative numbers. 

If I have 10 red counters and add 4 green counters and my cat steals 1 red and 1 green counter, how many counters are left? How do I represent these counters as a single integer?

  • Counters Left: You have -6 counters.
  • Representation as a Single Integer: The total can be represented as -6.
