20 Questions
Understanding the Concept
Integers include all positive and negative whole numbers plus zero (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Understanding integers is crucial for representing real-world situations like temperature, elevation, debt, and direction.
Key Integer Concepts
- 1Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- 2Absolute value: distance from zero (|-5| = 5)
- 3Number line: negatives to the left, positives to the right
- 4Adding same signs: add and keep the sign
- 5Adding different signs: subtract and keep the sign of the larger absolute value
- 6Subtracting integers: change to adding the opposite
- 7Multiplying/dividing: same signs = positive, different signs = negative
- 8Opposite of a number: same distance from zero, other side (-3 and 3)
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- •Thinking -5 is greater than -2 (it's less: farther from zero in negative direction)
- •Forgetting that subtracting a negative is adding: 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
- •Wrong sign when multiplying two negatives (negative × negative = positive)
- •Confusing absolute value with the number itself
- •Miscounting on the number line when crossing zero
- •Thinking zero is positive (it's neither positive nor negative)
🌍 Real-World Applications
- •Temperature: above and below zero
- •Elevation: above and below sea level
- •Finance: deposits (positive) and withdrawals (negative)
- •Football: yards gained and lost
- •Time zones: hours ahead or behind GMT
- •Stock market: gains and losses
Sample Practice Problems
Q1: 5 - (-3) = ?
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: 8
Subtracting negative = adding: 5 + 3 = 8
Q2: -4 × 6 = ?
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: -24
Different signs = negative: 4 × 6 = 24, so -24
Q3: -8 × (-3) = ?
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: 24
Same signs (both negative) = positive: 8 × 3 = 24
Q4: Order from least to greatest: -7, 3, -1, 0, -4
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: -7, -4, -1, 0, 3
On a number line, leftmost is least: -7 < -4 < -1 < 0 < 3
✨ Expert Study Tips
Use a number line to visualize operations
For adding: same signs add and keep, different signs subtract and take the bigger sign
KCC: Keep-Change-Change for subtraction (keep first, change minus to plus, change sign of second)
For multiplication: count the negatives — odd count = negative, even = positive
Absolute value is just distance — always positive
