Mrs. Haataja 6 Grade Math

This document defines integers and explains how to add integers. It states that integers are whole numbers that do not have decimals or fractions, and can be positive or negative. It provides examples of integers and non-integers. It then explains that integers increase by 1 as you move to the right on the number line, and decrease by 1 as you move left. The document also discusses how to add integers with the same and different signs using a number line or by finding the absolute values and subtracting.

When you count, you say
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
You are listing INTEGERS

To count in the other

Positive integers increase in increments of one
as you move to the right
Negative integers mirror this moving to the left
of zero, however, even though they appear to
be getting bigger, they are actually getting
smaller
-5 is one number smaller than -4, for example
You already know how to
add positive integersyou
just havent called them
integers before!
5 +3=8
You just added the integers
positive 5 and positive 3 and
found out the answer was
positive 8!
Adding negative integers is just like adding
positive integersonly differencethe answer
will have a negative sign
-6 +(-5) = -11
All you do is ignore the negative signs and add
the numbers, then put the negative sign back in
your answer
THIS ONLY WORKS IF BOTH NUMBERS
ARE NEGATIVE!!
On the previous slide we saw a diagram of the
problem 6 + (-2)
To solve this, they started at zero and moved to
the right 6 places to represent the positive 6
Next, they moved left 2 places this
represented the -2
They landed on the number 4 (positive 4)
which is the answer
Using a number line is a great way to practice
when you are first learning to add numbers
with different signs but there is another way
We can use the absolute value of a number and
subtraction to solve addition problems
involving integers of different signs
Absolute value is the distance
between a number and zero
It does not matter which direction
you are moving to get back to zero
all that is important is how many
steps it takes to get there
It is written as vertical lines on either
side of a number
|12|, is 12
|-23|, is 23
Absolute values are ALWAYS
positive
Heres how with the help of absolute value
1) find the absolute value of each number being
added
2) subtract the smaller absolute value from the
larger absolute value
3) the sign of the number with the larger
absolute value is the sign of the answer
21 + 29 = 50
-21 + (-29) = -50

29 + (-21) = 8

|29| = 29 |-21| = 21
29 21 = 8
29 is +, so answer is +
21 + (-29) = -8

|-29| = 29 |21| = 21
29 21 = 8
29 is -, so answer is -
