Interger Notes

This week the students were introduced to intergers. Here are some of notes and example problems we have done this week.

Intergers- numbers often used to represent real-world quantities
Negative integers- integers that are less than zero
Positive integers- intergers that are greater than zero
Absolute Valie- number's distance from zero [-4] = 4 or [6] = -6

ADDING INTERGERS!
Same Signs- 1. add the numbers, 2. keep the sign (ex. -5 + -2 = -7 or 3+ 2 = 5)
Different Signs- 1. find the difference, 2. keep the sign of what you have more of (ex. -5 + 2 = -3 or 3 + -2 = 1)
