2. Absolute Value
of a number is the distance from
zero.
Distance can NEVER be negative!
The symbol is |a|, where a is any
number.

7. The Number Line
Integers = {…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …}
Whole Numbers = {0, 1, 2, …}
Natural Numbers = {1, 2, 3, …}
-5 0 5

10. To GRAPH
a set of numbers means to locate and
mark the points on the number line.
Graph {-1, 0, 2}.

Be sure to put the dots on the line -
not above or below.

12. Name the set of numbers graphed.
{-2, -1, 0, . . . }
The darkened arrow means that the
graph keeps on going. When you
see this, put 3 dots in your set.

29. Addition Rule
1) When the signs are the same,
ADD and keep the sign.
(-2) + (-4) = -6
2) When the signs are different,
SUBTRACT and use the sign of the
larger number.
(-2) + 4 = 2
2 + (-4) = -2

30. Karaoke Time!
Addition Rule: Sung to the tune of
“Row, row, row, your boat”
Same signs add and keep,
different signs subtract,
keep the sign of the higher number,
then it will be exact!
Can your class do different rounds?

47. The additive inverses (or opposites)
of two numbers add to equal zero.
-3
Proof: 3 + (-3) = 0
We will use the additive inverses for
subtraction problems.
Example: The additive inverse of 3 is

48. What’s the difference between
7 - 3 and 7 + (-3) ?
7 - 3 = 4 and 7 + (-3) = 4
The only difference is that 7 - 3 is a
subtraction problem and 7 + (-3) is
an addition problem.
“SUBTRACTING IS THE SAME
AS ADDING THE OPPOSITE.”
(Keep-change-change)

49. When subtracting, change the subtraction to
adding the opposite (keep-change-change)
and then follow your addition rule.
Example #1: - 4 - (-7)
- 4 + (+7)
Diff. Signs --> Subtract and use larger sign.
3
Example #2: - 3 - 7
- 3 + (-7)
Same Signs --> Add and keep the sign.
-10

50. 11b + (+2b)
Same Signs --> Add and keep the sign.
13b
Okay, here’s one with a variable!
Example #3: 11b - (-2b)

51. Which is equivalent to
-12 – (-3)?
Answer Now
1. 12 + 3
2. -12 + 3
3. -12 - 3
4. 12 - 3

52. 7 – (-2) = ?
Answer Now
1. -9
2. -5
3. 5
4. 9

53. 1) If the problem is addition, follow
your addition rule.
2) If the problem is subtraction, change
subtraction to adding the opposite
(keep-change-change) and then follow
the addition rule.
