Intervention 3

Integers –

Z = {. . .; -4; -3; -2; -1; 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; . . .}

Adding and subtracting with integers:

When adding and subtracting remember to use the number line.

Multiplication and division:

The golden rule with multiplication and division is the following:
 Remember that division
follows the same rules.

REMEMBER to always do your SIGNS first –

-6 x 4 = - x + - (-8) = - x -
= - =+
=6x4 =8
= - 24 You don’t have to write the plus.

Exponents, cube and square roots with integers -

When calculating the exponents, cube and square roots, you calculate everything just
as you are used to, but you now have to calculate the sign as well.

( - 4) 2 = ( - 4 ) ( - 4 ) -42 =-(4)(4)
- x - = +
= 16 = - 16

√3 −64 ¿−4 x−4 x – 4

So√3 −64 = −4
