1. Lesson 2.1 & 2.6 Integers, Absolute Value and Number Properties
Essential Question: How do you order integers?

2. Before we start…
The Global Positioning System (GPS) can be used to determine elevations. The table shows the lowest elevations of several countries. Which country in the table has the lowest elevation?
Lowest Elevations
Country
Elevation (m)
United States
-86
Canada
China
-154
Bolivia 90

3. What are whole numbers?
The counting numbers
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …

4. What are integers? The numbers …, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …
Positive integers are integers that are greater than 0
Negative integers are integers that are less than 0
0 is neither positive or negative.

5. What are opposites? 3 and −3
Two numbers that are the same distance from 0 on a number line but are on opposite sides of 0.
3 and −3

7. Write the opposite of the integer.
15 −8
−35 100

8. Write the integer that represents the situation
Write the integer that represents the situation. Then write the opposite of that integer.

9. How do you compare and order integers?
To order integers, you have to compare them.
You can use a number line to do so if needed.
The numbers decrease as you move to the left and increase as you move to the right on a number line. Negative integers are less than positive integers.

10. Compare −2 −5 −6 1

11. Compare −4 −6 3 −9

12. Give two integers that make the statement true.

Joe
Dan
Charles
Brad
Vincent
Randy
Score −3 −6 −2 1 2 −4 −5 3

18. 𝑎 What is absolute value?
The distance between the number and 0 on a number line It’s always positive 𝑎

19. Find the absolute value of the number.
8 −7
−12 43

20. Simplify the expression. −32 − −17

21. Simplify the expression. 18 − 6

22. Simplify the expression. −8 − −2

23. Compare 3 −3 − 7 7

24. Compare −8 − 8 − 4 − −4

25. What about properties for addition and multiplication?
The words commute and associate have meanings in mathematics similar to their English definitions.
Commutative properties allow you to change position of numbers.
Associative properties allow you to group numbers together.

26. Commutative and Associative Properties
Commutative Property of Addition
Words In a sum, you can add the numbers in any order.
Numbers 4+ −7 =−7+4
Algebra 𝑎+𝑏=𝑏+𝑎
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Words In a product, you can multiply the numbers in any order.
Numbers 8 −5 =−5 8
Algebra 𝑎𝑏=𝑏𝑎
Associative Property of Addition
Words Changing the grouping of numbers in a sum does not change the sum.
Numbers =9+ 6+2
Algebra 𝑎+𝑏 +𝑐=𝑎+ 𝑏+𝑐
Associative Property of Multiplication
Words Changing the grouping of numbers in a product does not change the product.
Numbers 3∙10 ∙4=3∙ 10∙4
Algebra 𝑎𝑏 𝑐=𝑎 𝑏𝑐

27. Identity Properties Identity Property of Addition
Words The sum of a number and the additive identity, 0, is the number.
Numbers −6+0=−6
Algebra 𝑎+0=𝑎
Identity Property of Multiplication
Words The product of a number and the multiplicative identity, 1, is the number.
Numbers 4∙1=4
Algebra 𝑎∙1=𝑎
