Objective: Use counters to solve the addition of negative and positive integers.
-9
Example
Find 4 + 5 The absolute value of negative four is four. The absolute value of positive five is five. The difference of their absolute values is one. The largest absolute value is five so the answer one get the sign of the five which is positive. So, -4 + 5 = +1
Alternative Method
Use counters to add unlike signed integers.
-4
Alternative Method
Use counters to add unlike signed integers.
-4 + 5
Alternative Method
Use counters to add unlike signed integers.
-4 + 5 A positive and a negative together become neutral. When we put a negative with a positive, they go away.

-4 + 5 A positive and a negative together become neutral. When we put a negative with a positive, they go away. That leaves a positive one as our answer. It is the same answer that we got using strictly math.
