Integers
Integers are whole numbers that
describe opposite ideas in
mathematics.
Integers can either be
negative(-), positive(+) or zero.
The integer zero is neutral. It is
neither positive nor negative, but
is an integer.
Integers can be represented on
a number line, which can help us
understand the valve of the
integer.

Positive Integers
Are to the right of zero
Are valued greater than
zero.
Express ideas of up, a gain
or a profit.
The sign for a positive
integer is (+), however the
sign is not always needed.
Meaning +3 is the same
value as 3.

Negative Integers
Are to the left of zero
Are valued less than
zero.
Express ideas of down
or a lose.
The sign for a negative
integer is (-). This sign
is always needed.

Zero is neither positive

or negative

Negative integers
are valued less than zero,
and are always to the left of
zero.

Positive integers
are valued more than zero,
and are always to the right
of zero.

The net worth of

opposite integers is
zero.

Opposite Integers
Opposite integers always have a
net worth of 0. This is called
the ZERO PRINCIPAL.
Opposite integer have the same absolute
value, meaning the distance from the
points on a number line to zero is the same.
This can be referred to as the integers
magnitude.

Movement on a Number Line

Magnitude and Direction
Every integer represents a
magnitude and a direction.
The integer +3 describes a
movement of 3 units in a
positive direction.(right)
The sign (+) tells you the
direction.
The number (3) indicates
how far to move or the
MAGNIUDE( a movement of 3 units)

Use your number line to help you compare each set of number.
(i.e. for the numbers 3 ,and - 2 . 3 > -2

-2 < 3)

a) - 6, 7

b) 12, 3

c)- 5,- 8

d) 11, - 15

e) - 7, - 4

f) - 3, - 7

Comparing Integers Again

For each of the
previous questions (a)
to (t), write a new
mathematical sentence
showing how much
bigger or smaller the
first number is than
the second.
(i.e. 3, - 2 .. 3 is 5
more than 2)

To add two positive integers you add the
magnitude and keep the positive sign.
Negative Integers
To add two negative integers you add the
magnitude and keep the negative sign.
A Negative and a Positive Integer
To add a positive and a negative integer you
subtract the magnitudes and keep the sign of
the integer with the largest magnitude.
