Adding Integers

STRATEGY 1: Using Integer Disks

We can think of red and blue disks as INTEGER DISKS.

A red disk represents a _____________ integer
A blue disk represents a _____________integer

Using the table:

1. Draw the integer (+4) using red circles to represent the red disks
2. Add in (-3) using blue circles to represent the blue disks
3. Find the zero pairs and
remove them
4. The final integer is ____

We write this mathematical sentence as :

_______________________________________________________

STRATEGY 2: Using a number line

To show addition on a number line, start at 0.
Go LEFT for __________________ numbers.
Go RIGHT for __________________ numbers.

a. (+3) + (+2) b. (-4) + (-2) c. (+3) + (-2)
