1. Add and Subtract Integers
Learning Objective: We will add and
subtract positive and negative integers.
Math NS 1.3
2. What do we already know?
• Positive integers are on the right side of zero. 4
• Negative integers are on the left side of zero. -4
• This means that they are opposites. -3 + 3 = 0
Positive
Negative

You know how to plot an expression on the number
line and find the sum.
Step 1: Plot the first integer on the
number line.
Step 2: Plot the second integer on the
number line beginning where the last
number left off.

6. You already learned that
subtracting a negative integer
gives the same solution as adding
its opposite.
7. Vocabulary
• Define integers: a positive or negative number.
• Define a positive integer: whole numbers to the
left of zero.
• Define a negative integer: whole numbers to the
right of zero.
positive
negative
8. Vocabulary
Define absolute value: the distance
from zero.
Plot each of the integers below on a
number line and then tell the absolute value of each.
-1 2 -5
(1) (2) (5)
-1

-5
9. You already learned that
subtracting a negative integer
gives the same solution as adding
its opposite.
To help predict whether the sum
of two integers will be positive or
negative, you can use these rules.

13. Why is this important?
If the temperature was 10 ｰ F at lunch time and
dropped to -
5 ｰ F in the evening. What is the
difference between these temperatures?
10 - -5= 15 degrees
Mauricio were at the corner store. Mauricio forgot
his money and needs $10 to pay for his treats. If
Omar let Mauricio borrow $10, Mauricio now has
$10.
- $10 + $10 = 0
