Integers Integers are whole numbers that describe opposite ideas in mathematics. Integers can either be negative(-), positive(+) or zero.

Zero is neither positive or negative Positive integers are valued more than zero, and are always to the right of zero. Negative integers are valued less than zero, and are always to the left of zero.

Opposite Integers

The “net worth” of opposite integers is zero.

Opposite Integers Opposite integers always have a “net worth” of 0 Opposite integer have the same “absolute value”, meaning the distance from the points on a number line to zero is the same.

Which integer has a higher value? Comparing Integers Which integer has a higher value? -4 or -8

Comparing Integers Use your number line to help you compare each set of number. (i.e. for the numbers 3 ,and - 2 …. 3 > -2 -2 < 3) - 6, 7 b) 12, 3 c)- 5,- 8 d) 11, - 15 e) - 7, - 4 f) - 3, - 7 g) 7, - 8 h) - 13, -14
