Lesson 1-1 Integer Quantities Absolute Values and Opposites

This document provides an introduction to integers and their properties. It defines integers as numbers from the set {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} and distinguishes between positive and negative integers. Absolute value is defined as the distance from zero on the number line. Opposites or additive inverses are numbers that are the same distance from zero but on the opposite side. Examples are provided for representing real-world quantities with integers, finding opposites, and calculating absolute values.

Lesson 1-1: Integer Quantities


Objectives: 1.) to use integers to represent quantities Date: ___________

2.) to find opposites and absolute values of integers

Warm-up:
1. Represent the following quantities as integers.
10 degrees below zero Spend $12

Gain of 6 yards Earn $36

Profit of $145 12 feet below sea level

2. Draw and label a horizontal number line.


Graph the points: {-2, 6, 0, 1, -6}

Vocabulary: Link
Integer – any number from the set {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}.
Note: fractions and decimals are NOT integers.

Negative integer – less than zero. Positive integer –greater than zero.
Ex: -5, -8, -3, -2 Ex: 6, 3, 15, 1

Absolute value – a number’s distance from zero on the number line.


Ex:  9  9 , 0  0 , or 24  24

Opposite numbers or Additive inverse – a number that is the same


distance from zero on the number line, but on the other side of zero.
Ex: the opposite of 5 is -5. The opposite of -18 is 18
The additive inverse of -13 is 13. The additive inverse of 21 is -21.

Finding the opposite or additive inverse of a number


Opposites/Additive inverse – numbers that are the same distance (equidistant) from
zero on a number line, but on the other side of zero.
Find the opposites below.
–4 and 4 are opposites

1.) 5 and ____ are opposites


–4 4
• •

–5–4–3–2–1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Negative integers Positive integers 3.) 2 and ____ are opposites

0 is neither positive
4.) -16 and ____ are opposites
nor negative

Finding the absolute value of a number


Absolute value- is a number’s distance from zero on a number line.
Examples:
