This document provides an overview of negative numbers and integer addition. It defines negative numbers as numbers less than zero, opposite numbers as having the same distance from zero in the opposite direction, and integers as including all whole numbers and their opposites on the number line including zero. It then presents two rules for integer addition: 1) if signs are the same, add the numbers and use that sign, and 2) if signs are different, subtract the smaller number from the larger and use the larger number's sign. Several examples are worked out using a number line to visually demonstrate integer addition.
