Positive Direction Negative Direction Negative Numbers Positive Numbers
3 + 6 =9 Positive Direction 3 6 9 Positive Numbers
-3 + (-6) =-9 Negative Direction -6 -3 -9 Negative Numbers
3 + 6 = 9 -3 + (-6) =-9
In this lesson you have learned add two positive or two negative integers by using a number line.
Try graphing two addition problems with opposite numbers on the same graph. • For example, use 12 + 8 and -12 + (-8). • Write about what you notice.
Draw two number lines. On the first, graph -9 + (-13). On the second, graph -13 + (-9). • Compare and contrast the graphs.
Partner Game: • Write the integers -20 through +20 on small pieces of paper and turn them face down. • You and your partner pull 2 numbers. Sum the integers by graphing the process on a number line. The person with the greater sum gets a point. Repeat.
Simplify -9 + (-7). What is the sum of 6 and 13?
