Adding integers on a number line:
             Move right on a number line to add a positive integer.
              Move left on a number line to add a negative integer
           If the signs are the same, add the digits and keep the sign.
 If the signs are different: find the difference, take the sign of the larger digit.




                      Subtracting integers on a number line:
             Move left on a number line to subtract a positive integer.
            Move right on a number line to subtract a negative integer.
                             Keep, Change, Change
           If the signs are the same, add the digits and keep the sign.
 If the signs are different: find the difference, take the sign of the larger digit.




                          Multiplying & Dividing Rules:
                 If the signs are the same, the product is positive
                 If the signs are different, the product is negative
