What is an
Integer?
• An integer is a positive or
negative whole number,
including 0.
• Addition +
• Subtraction -
• Multiplication x
• Division ÷
Rule #1 for
Adding Integers (+)
5 + 1 = 6
Rule #2 for
Adding Integers (+)
5 + (-)1 = 4
(-)5 + 1 = -4
(-)5 + (-)5 = -10
(-)5 + 5 = 0
Let’s Practice “Addition”
1) 5+6=
2) -3 + (-2) =
3) -6 + 5 =
4) 8 + (-7) =
5) -9 + 9 =
Let’s Check
1) 5+6= 11
2) -3 + (-2) = -5
3) -6 + 5 = -1
4) 8 + (-7) = 1
5) -9 + 9 = 0
Rules for
Subtracting Integers (-)
• To subtract an integer, add its
opposite.
5 – (-2) = 5+2 = 7
-5 – 2 = -5 + (-2) = -7
Let’s Practice “Subtraction”
1) 5 – 2 =
2) -3 – 4 =
3) -1 – (-2) =
4) -5 – (-3) =
5) 7 – (-6) =
Let’s Check
1) 5 – 2 = 5 + (-2) = 3
2) -3 – 4 = -3 + (-4) = -7
3) -1 – (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1
4) -5 – (-3) = -5 + 3 = -2
5) 7 – (-6) = 7+ 6 = 13
Rules for
Multiplying Integers (x)
• The product of two integers with the
same signs is POSITIVE.
They are!
The rules for division are exactly
the same as those for multiplication.
If we were to take the rules for
multiplication and change the
multiplication signs to division signs,
we would have an accurate set of
rules for division.
Rules for
Dividing Integers (÷)
• The quotient of two integers with
the same signs is POSITIVE.
