Adding and Subtracting Integers

When we add or subtract integers we can use a number line to help us see what is happening

with the numbers.

Adding and Subtracting Integers

At the centre of the number line is the integer zero.

Adding and Subtracting Integers

The positive numbers are to the right along the number line.

When we add integers we move “up” in this direction.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Adding and Subtracting Integers

The negative numbers are to the left along the number line.

When we subtract integers we move “down” in this direction.

We end up at the value 4.

So… 1 + 3 = 4

We will start at +1 again as this is the

first part of our sum

This time we are subtracting 3 so we

will move “down” (to the left) on our

number line

Finally, what do these mean?

5 + -2 ?

5 - -2 ?

Finally, what do these mean?

5 + -2 ?

5 - -2 ? A plus and minus together means the same as subtract. So replace them

with a minus sign

Finally, what do these mean?

5 + -2 is the same as 5 - 2

5 - -2 ?Two minus signs together means the same as add. So replace them with a

plus sign
