0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 Here is a number line.
0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 Positive integers are integers greater than 0. They can be written without + sign.
0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 Negative integers are integers less than 0. They are written with a - sign.
0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 Zero is neither negative nor positive.
So, basically, any number I can imagine is an integer? Like 3? -3? 150? -150? 350 million billion gazillion????? If it’s on the number line, it is an integer.
Let’s write an integer for each situation. Weather: 5 degrees below Because this weather is below normal, the integer is written as -5.
Let’s write an integer for each situation. Rainfall: 5 inches above normal Because this rainfall is above normal, the integer is written as +5 or just 5.
Let’s write an integer for each situation. Banking: a deposit of $23 Because deposit is adding an amount to your bank account, it is +23 or just 23.
Graph this set on a number line. (-4, -2, 0, 5) . . . . 0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 Just draw a point (or a dot) on the location of the integer. That’s all!
Graph this set on a number line. (-5, -1, 3) . . . 0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 You get the point, right? Pun totally intended.
Hey, have you noticed that -5 and 5 are each 5 units (spaces) from 0?
0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 -5 and 5 are both 5 spaces away from 0. They have the same absolute value.
Absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and 0 on a number line.
0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 5 = 5 -5 = 5 5 units 5 units
5 = 5 -5 = 5 This means that the absolute value of both -5 and 5 are 5 (distance from 0).
-4 = 0 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 4 units Let’s try this one… 4
-560 = 560 = 2010 2010 = -256,487 256,487 OK…I get it, I get it!
