1. Unit 2: Numerical Operations
1. Integers: The set of whole numbers and their opposites { , -1, 0, 1, }.
2. Zero Pairs: The result of a positive counter paired with a negative counter.
Ex:
There are 3 zero pairs in the example.
Slide 1

2. all zero pairs have been removed.
3. Adding Integers: When adding two positive integers the answer will always be positive. When adding two negative integers the answer will always be negative. When adding a positive and a negative integer the answer’s sign will come from the
integer that is farthest from zero on a number line. (Some say “the largest number”).
The number part of the answer will be the remaining number of POS or NEG after
all zero pairs have been removed.
4. Sum: The addend is one of the
numbers that is being added
in order to find a sum.
5. Additive inverse: A number that when added to a given number, results in a sum of zero. (another word for opposite)
Example: The additive inverse of 4 is -4 because 4 + (-4) = 0.
Slide 2

3. 6. Subtracting Integers: Add the opposite. Follow the addition rules.
EX. -3 – (-4) = EX. -1 – 7 = -1 + (-7)
7. Difference: The difference is the answer in a subtraction problem.
Example: 4 Minuend
-1 Subtrahend Difference
8. Multiplying Integers: When multiplying integers follow the rules of:
+ x + = +
- X - = +
+ x - = -
9. Factor: The factor of a number is a number that divides that number exactly.
For example, the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Product: The product is the answer in a multiplication problem.
Example: Multiplicand
x 2 Multiplier
10 Product
Slide 3

4. - divided by - = + and + divided by - = -
Dividing integers: When dividing integers the same rules apply as multiplication.
+ divided by + = +
- divided by - = and divided by - = -
12. Divisor: is the number that the dividend is divided by (in long division).
Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
13. Dividend: is the number that is divided (in long division). The dividend divided by the divisor is the quotient.
Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
14. Quotient: is the answer in long division. The dividend divided by the divisor is the quotient.
Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3

5. 15. Coordinate Plane: A plane, also called a coordinate grid or coordinate system, in which a horizontal number line and a vertical number line intersect at their zero points.
16. X-Axis: The horizontal line on a coordinate plane.
17. Y-Axis: The Vertical line on a Coordinate Plane
18. Quadrant: A quadrant is a quarter of a plane. The x-axis and y-axis divide the x-y plane into four quadrants. The axes themselves are not part of the quadrants.
Slide 5

6. 19. Ordered Pair: A pair of numbers used to locate a point in the coordinate plane or the solution of an equation in two variables. An ordered pair is written in the form:
Ex. (3,2) (x-coordinate, y-coordinate).
20. Coordinates: are an ordered pair of numbers that show the location of a point on the x-y plane. Every point on the plane can be located by a pair of coordinates (x,y), which notes its distance from the x-axis and the y-axis.
21. Respectively: in the order given
22. Concrete: capable of being perceived by the senses; not abstract or imaginary; "concrete objects such as trees"
Slide 6

7. Line segment: the part of a line that is between two endpoints.
Ex. ._________________.
Endpoint: the point at the beginning and end of a line segment
Ex. ._______________.
Midpoint: On a line segment, the point that is halfway between the endpoints.
Ex _________._________.
