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) = -6
Rule #3 for
Adding Integers (+)
-5 + 1 = -4
-5 + (-5) = -10
Let’s Practice “Addition”
1) 5+6=
• -3 + (-2) =
• -6 + 5 =
• 8 + (-7) =
• -9 + 9 =
Let’s Check
1) 5+6= 11
• -3 + (-2) = -5
• -6 + 5 = -1
• 8 + (-7) = 1
• -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.
