Addition and Subtraction of Integers on a Number Line We are learning to…usea number line to add and subtract integers. Thursday, November 20, 2014
Directions for adding and subtracting integers on a number line… • Start on the…first number in the expression. • To know which way to face on the number line look at the…sign of the second number in the expression. • If it is positive face right because the positives are to the right on the number line. • If it is negative face left because the negatives are to the left on the number line. • To move just remember: • If you are adding…move forward. • If you are subtracting…move backward.
-4 The positives Forward 5 steps 1 -4 – (-5)
-1 The negatives Backward 6 steps 5 -1 + 6
3 The negatives Forward 7 steps -4 3 – 7
-2 The positives Backward 7 steps -9 -2 + (-7)
5 The negatives Backward 5 steps 10 5 + 5
-8 The negatives Backward 17 steps 9 -8 + 17
