Rational numbers Adding integers Subtracting integers Multiplying/Dividing Integers Absolute Values Drawing problems using + and – signs Number lines
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction Fraction = Ratio Examples: 1.5 is rational = 3/2 3 is rational = 21/7 60% is rational = 60/100 -2 is rational = -6/3
Positive or negative whole numbers Integers Positive or negative whole numbers
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Absolute value: the distance of a number from zero on a number line -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Adding Integers: -5 + -3 = 8 + (-2) = **SHOW ON NUMBER LINE Same signs Different signs Add together Subtract Keep the sign of both numbers Keep the sign of the number with the largest absolute value -5 + -3 = 8 + (-2) = **SHOW ON NUMBER LINE
Practice problems Solve and show on a number line. 3) -5 + -8 = 4) 3 + (-4)=
Subtracting Integers: **KEEP-CHANGE-CHANGE RULE** (KCC) **Use ADDITION RULES -7 - 4 = 2 - (-5) =
Practice problems Solve and show on a number line. 3) -5 - 8 = 4) 3 - (-4)=
Multiplying and Dividing Integers: Multiply or divide then: Same signs Different signs Positive negative 1) -5 x (-4)= 2) 8 x (–2) =
Practice problems Solve. 3) -3 x 6 = 4) 7 x (-4)=
Showing adding/subtracting with a drawing: -4 + 7 = -3 _ _ _ _ + + + + + + + Cancel out any + and – pairs because they will equal ZERO. The signs you have left over is your answer. **On SUBTRACTION PROBLEMS you MUST Keep-Change-Change before drawing the picture!
Showing adding/subtracting with a number line: + Go right - Go left -7 + 6 = -1 Plot -7 on the number line You are adding POSITIVE 6, so you will move to the RIGHT Fill in your number line Plot your answer (-1) Go right 6 because you are adding a POSITIVE 6! -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
Example 2 on a number line: -5 – 8 = Keep-Change-Change New problem: -5 + (-8) = -13 Plot -5 on the number line You are adding NEGATIVE 8, so you will move to the LEFT! Plot your answer (-13). + Go right - Go left Go left 8 because you are adding a POSITIVE 6! -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5
Group Work—everyone COPY down! **Draw a number line for each problem with ** beside it! -5 + 10 = 5) 7 – 12 = 9) -4 x 2 = 4 + 3 = 6) -5 – 1 = 10) 3 x (-7)= -8 + (-6) = 7) -2 – (-3) = 11) -8 x (-3) = 4) 6 + (-4) = ** 8) 1 – (-5) =** 12) 6 x 7 =
