Subtracting Positive and Negative Integers Confidential
WARM-UP: 1.) (-5) + (-26) = 2.) (-18) + 7 = 3.) Write a variable expression for: r less than 12 4.) -40 + 9 = 5.) 4 + (-36) = Confidential
Let's review what we learned in the last lesson. Confidential
TODAY we will be studying 2 methods to learn how to subtract integers. METHOD 1 - Zero Pairs + - + - - + - - Remember that the red chips are NEGATIVE. The grey chips are POSITIVE. Confidential
Let's subtract 6 - 2 = We begin with 6 POSITIVE (grey) chips. + + + + + + next page Confidential
Let's subtract 6 - 2 = Then we take away (or Subtract) 2 POSITIVE chips. + + + + + + next page Confidential
Let's subtract 6 - 2 = We are left with 4 POSITIVE (Grey) chips. + + + + So..... 6 - 2 = 4 Confidential
Now, let's subtract (-5) - (-4) = We begin with 5 NEGATIVE (or red) chips. - - - - - next page Confidential
Now, let's subtract (-5) - (-4) = Then, we take away (or Subtract) 4 NEGATIVE chips. - - - - - next page Confidential
Now, let's subtract (-5) - (-4) = And we are left with 1 NEGATIVE (red) chip. - Therefore, (-5) - (-4) = -1 Do you have any questions so far? Confidential
SOMETIMES we need to add Zero Pairs in order to subtract or take away chips. For example, let's subtract 5 - (-3) = We begin with 5 POSITIVE (grey) chips. + + + + + next page Confidential
5 - (-3) = + + + We begin with 5 POSITIVE (grey) chips. + + + Now, we need to take away (or Subtract) 3 NEGATIVE (red) chips but we don't have any!! So we must ADD 3 Zero Pairs............... + + + - - - Confidential next page
5 - (-3) = + + + + + Now, we can take away (or Subtract) the 3 NEGATIVE (red) chips. + + + - - - And we are left with 8 POSITIVE (grey) chips. Therefore, 5 - (-3) = 8 Confidential
You try this one… (-4) - 1 = Use your pen to draw the red and grey circles. Confidential
Try 4 - (-2) = Use your pen to draw the red and grey circles. Confidential
METHOD 2 - Rule for Subtracting Integers When we subtract an integer, we add its opposite. For example, (-10) - 7 = (-10) + (-7) = (-17) we add its opposite Confidential
Of course, if we are going to ADD its opposite, we must remember the rules for ADDING INTEGERS. LET'S REVIEW Adding the Same Sign - The sum of 2 positive numbers is POSITIVE. The sum of 2 negative numbers is NEGATIVE. Adding Different Signs - 1. Find the absolute value of the 2 numbers. 2. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. 3. Take the sign of the larger number for your answer. Confidential
Let's try a few more subtraction problems. Remember the RULE - When we subtract an integer, we add its opposite. 9 - (-6) = 9 + 6 = 15 its opposite we add Confidential
You try a few. (-4) - (-4) = (-2) - 8 = 12 - (-3) = Confidential
1.) Can you find the missing numbers? -32 + = 65 47 - = 80 Confidential
2.)Anne is 8 years older than Jane and 3 years older than Mary. The sum of their ages is 67. How old is each person? Confidential
3.) Use these digits (4, 7, 9) to make as many 3 digit numbers as possible. You may only use each digit only one time in each number. Confidential
Let's see how well you understood the lesson today. Find each difference. 1.) -13 - 13 = 2.) 9 - (-8) = 3.) 28 - 16 = Confidential
4.) 12 - 15 = 5.) 0 - (-47) = 6.) -190 - 82 = Confidential
7.) (-12) - (-26) = 8.) 4 - (-60) = 9.) 22 - 38 = 10.) (-109) - 10 = Confidential
Let's review what we learned today. We looked at 2 different methods for SUBTRACTING integers. METHOD 1 - Using Zero Pairs - + Confidential
SOMETIMES we need to add Zero Pairs in order to subtract or take away chips. 3 - (-1) = Begin with 3 POSITIVE chips + + + Add 1 ZERO PAIR + - Now we can take away 1 NEGATIVE chip And you're left with 4 POSITIVE chips 3 - (-1) = 4 Confidential
Great job today! Remember to practice what you learned! Confidential
