What is an INTEGER?
An INTEGER is a positive or
negative whole number, including
0. it does not have decimals and
fractions.
Examples:
7, -15, 7685, -200, 25
RULES IN ADDING (+) INTEGERS
Rule # 1:
The sum of two positive
integers is always positive. 5
+1= 6
RULES IN ADDING (+) INTEGERS
Rule # 2:
The sum of two negative
integers is always negative.
-5 + (-1) = -6
RULES IN ADDING (+) INTEGERS
Rule # 3:
The sum of a positive and a negative integer
could be positive, negative or zero.
When you add a positive and a negative integer,
you are subtracting. Then, you give the answer
the sign of a greater absolute value.
Example: 5 + (-1) = 4 -5 + 1 = -4 -5 + (-5) = -10
RULES IN SUBTRACTING (-) INTEGERS
To subtract an integer, add its
opposite.
RULES IN SUBTRACTING (-) INTEGERS
You will need to correctly
change all subtraction
problems into addition
problems!
THE THREE (3) STEPS
STEP 1: “SAME”
Keep the first integer the
same.
THE THREE (3) STEPS
STEP 2: “CHANGE”
Change the subtraction sign
into addition sign.
THE THREE (3) STEPS
STEP 3: “TAKE THE OPPOSITE
NUMBER”
Take the opposite of the number that
immediately follows the newly place
addition sign.
Example: 5-(-2)= 5+2=7
What is a NUMBER LINE?
A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a straight
line. This line is used to compare numbers that are placed at equal
intervals on an infinite line that extends on both sides, horizontally.
Positive integers increase in increments of one as you move to the
right.
Negative integers mirror this moving to the left of zero, however,
even though they appear to be getting bigger, they are actually
getting smaller.
NUMBER LINE
DIRECTIONS: Use a number line to solve the following
problems.
1. (-7) + (-4) =
2. 5 + (-2) =
3. (-8) – (-2) =
4. (-3) + 8 =
5. 3 – (-6) =
Guide Questions:
• How did you come up with your answer?
• How do you relate integer in real-world application?
DIRECTIONS: Solve the following by filling in the missing
integers.
1. ______ + -12 = 6
2. -38 - _____ = -40
3. _____ - (-8) = 38
4. -19 + _____ = -45
5. _____ + (-47) = -49
What would be the result if a positive integer is being added to a
positive integer?
What would be the result if a positive integer is being added to a
negative integer?
What is the answer if the factors being subtracted have the same
signs? What if they have different signs?
DIRECTIONS: Read carefully and solve.
1. When Christian woke up, his temperature was 97°F. Three hours later, it was 5°F
lower. What was her temperature then?
2. Aya has $50 left on her ATM account. If she withdraws an amount of $58, what is her
balance now?
3. An elevator is on the 18th floor. It goes down 10 floors and then up 4 floors. What floor
is the elevator now?
4. If it is 5° outside and the temperature will drop 17° in the next five hours. How cold
will it get?
5. Mark is playing with a dice, if the number that turns up is even, he will gain 5 times
the number that comes up. If it is odd, he will lose 10 times the number that comes up.
