When subtracting integers you "KCC". 

Give an example and explain the steps of this memory tool KCC.

Keep Change Change (KCC)

KEEP- Keep the sign of the first number 

CHANGE- Change the subtraction sign to addition 

CHANGE- Change the sign of the second number to the opposite sign. If it is positive- change to negative. If it is negative- change to positive.

(+4) – (-4) 

Keep change change

 (+4) + (+4)

Plot the square root of 105 on a number line.

What two numbers (rounded to the nearest tenth) would it be between.


Example: The square root of 24 is approximately 24.89. Plot between 24.8 and 24.9. It would be closer to 24.9

The square root of 105 is approximately 10.246

Plot between 10.2 and 10.3. 

It is slightly closer to 10.2. It is very close to the middle when you round 10.246 to 10.25.
