Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

 1. Prayer

Everyone please stands up. Trisha led (Trisha will stand up and lead the
the prayer. prayer)

2. Greetings

Good morning, Class!

Good morning, Ma’am!
Before you take your seat kindly
pick up the trashes you can see
under your chair and if none you
may take your seat.

3. Checking of Attendance

Do we have any absentees

for today’s discussion,
Secretary? No one is absent, Ma’am!
B. Review
In your previous lesson, you have learned
how to add integers. There are rules you
need to follow; can someone enumerate (The students will raise their hands)
the 2 rules? 1. When the signs are the same,
ADD and keep the sign.
2. When the signs are different,
SUBTRACT and use the sign of the
number with the greater absolute
value.
Okay, Very Good! Now let's have a game
I call it integer task card activity is a great
way to help student review basic integer
rules. And with task cards assigned to
different stations, this activity is a great
way to get students up and moving.

Are you ready students? Yes, Ma'am!

Example; (The students will raise their hands)

(The students will share his/her

thought about the question)
Since, it seems like you remember and
understand our last topic let's give
everyone a 5 clap.

C. Motivation
Before we formally move to our topic let's
have a game first. Bowling is a favorite
activity, and super simple to pull together
for your classroom.

Mechanics of the game.

• Grab a play bowling set, or set up
plastic cups or paper towel rolls. Then
bring a ball and bowl.
• Have your students note how
many ‘pins’ are standing up before each
roll. Then count how many they knock
over, and solve to determine how many
are still standing. This helps students
visualize subtraction. And they’ll have a
blast bowling in class!

D. Lesson Proper
Now, since we are done in our last
discussion let’s now move to
 Subtraction of integers. Does
can give an idea how does
subtraction works?

Okay, yes (name of students)?

Okay thank you. To dig more

about our topic.

Subtracting integers is the process of

finding the difference between two
integers. It may result in an increase or a
decrease in value, depending on whether
the integers are positive or negative or a
mix. The subtraction of integers is an
arithmetic operation performed on
integers with the same sign or with
different signs to find the difference. Let
us learn more about subtracting integers
in this article.
Yes, Ma’am!
Is that clear class?

To recall the rules of Subtraction

The rules for subtracting integers are

given below:

• If we subtract 0 from any

integer, the answer will be the
integer itself.
• If we subtract any integer from
0, we will find the additive
inverse or the opposite of the
integer.
• Subtraction of integers is done
by changing the sign of the
subtrahend. After this step, if
both numbers are of the same
 sign, then we add the absolute
values and attach the common
sign. If both the numbers are of
different signs, then we find the
difference of the absolute
numbers and place the sign of
the bigger number in the result.

Subtracting Integers with the Same Sign

When we subtract two integers with the

same sign, we subtract their absolute
values and place the common sign in the
result. The absolute value of a number is
the positive value of the given number.

For an instance, the absolute value of 6 is

6, the absolute value of -6 is 6, etc. For
subtraction of integers, we change the
sign of the subtrahend. For example, -2 -
(-5), can be written as -2 + 5. Now, the
absolute value of 5 is 5, and of -2 is 2. By
subtracting 2 from 5, we get 3. Since 5 >
2, the sign of the answer will be the same Yes, Ma'am!

as the sign of 5, which is positive.

Therefore, -2 -(-5) = 3.

Is that clear class?

So, since it is clear let's have another

example.

• (-1) - (-6) =
 • 3-8= (The students will raise their hand)
• 24 - 17 = • (-1) - (-6) = -1 + 6 = 5

Who wants to try our example? • 3 - 8 = -5

• 24 - 17 = 7

How about Subtracting Integers with

Different Signs

Subtracting two integers with different

signs is done by changing the sign of the
integer that is subtracted. Then, we need
to check if both the integers become
positive, the result will be positive and if
both the integers are negative, then the
result will be negative. For example, if we
want to subtract -9 from 5, that is 5 - (-9), None, Ma'am!
we will change the sign of 9 and then add
the integers, which means it will be 5 + 9
= 14. Therefore, 5 - (-9) = 14.

Is that clear? Any question, violent

reaction?

So, addition this can also be

understood with another method in
which we add the absolute values,
and then attach the sign of the
minuend with the result. For
example, if we want to subtract -9
from 5, first we find the absolute
 values of both. The absolute value of
-9 is 9, and of 5 is 5. Now, find the
sum of these absolute values which
is 9 + 5 = 14. As 5 is the minuend
here with a positive sign, so the
answer sign will be positive.
Therefore, 5 - (-9) = 14. (The students will raise their hands)

Let's try another set of examples.

• 1 - -6 = -7
• 1 - (-6) = • -3 - 8 = -11
• -3 - 8 = • -24 - 17 =
• -24 - 17 =

Who wants to try our example.

Very good, good job!

E. Application

To apply our topic kindly bring out a

sheet of paper and answer the following
equation.

Subtract the following integers.

1. 16 - 12 =
2. 19 – (-7) =
3. (−21) − (−5) =
4. 20 - 16 =
5. (-8) – 10 =
6. 11 – (-5) =
7. 19 - 23 =
8. -6 - 5 =
9. (-3) – (-4) =
10. (-10) – (12) =
F. Generalization

Okay to sum up what we have

learned. What is subtraction of
integers?
(Students will raise their hands)
(The teachers will call 3-4 students to
sum up what they have learned)
 Okay good job students

IV. Evaluation

Okay, let’s have one last activity. Kindly

bring out sheet of paper.

statements. Choose your answer from
the box that best completes each of
the statements below. Rules for
Subtracting Integers.
