|
Compare and Order Integers |
Show/Hide |
|
We can compare different integers by looking at their positions on the number line. For any two different places on the number line, the integer on the right is greater than the integer on the left. Ex. Order 3, 5, -3, 1, -5 |

Absolute Value of an Integer |

The number of units a number is from zero on the number line. |
|
|
|
|
|
Additive inverse |
Show/Hide |

|
Adding integers of the same sign |
Show/Hide |
|
When adding integers of the same sign, we add their absolute values, and give the result the same sign. |
|
|
|
|
|
Adding integers of the opposite signs |
Show/Hide |
|
When adding integers of the opposite signs, we take their absolute values, subtract the smaller from the larger, and give the result the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value |

|
Subtracting Integers |
Show/Hide |
|
'Subtracting an integer is the same as adding its opposite. |
|
