This module is designed and written to help Grade 7 students understand the
different properties on the operations of integers. The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different ways. The language recognizes the diverse vocabulary
level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the
textbook you are now using.

This module consists of the following lessons:

Lesson 1: Properties of Addition and Subtraction
Lesson 2: Properties of Multiplication

Based on the competency, this module will help you illustrate the
different properties of operations on the set of integers (M7NS – Ie – 1).
Specifically, you are expected to:
1. state and illustrate the different properties of the operations on integers; and
2. rewrite expressions based on the given properties.

Math is fun. Enjoy learning!

 Properties Of Integers

There are properties of integers which determine its operations. These

properties help us solve many equations. To recall, integers are any positive or
negative numbers including zero which can be represented by letter Z.

 Z = {…,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,…}
The integer properties will help you simplify and solve a series of integers
easily.

Activity 8: Properties of Integers

Let’s find out: The answer of the given Math Trivia.
Let’s use these material: pen and Mathematics notebook
Let’s do it this way:
1. Copy the table below in your mathematics notebook.
2. Match the definition in column A to its equivalent property in column B .
3. Write the letter that corresponds to the item number in the appropriate box.
The first one is done for you.

Here we go…
COLUMN A COLUMN B

1. The order does not make any T Closure

difference in the operation’s
result.
2. The grouping does not make any Y Identity
difference in the result.
3. The process of distributing using
multiplication over addition or F Commutative

20
 subtraction.
4. The sum or product of two
integers is also an integer. O
Associative
5. Whenever an integer is multiplied
by 1 will give the integer itself as the
product. R
Distributive

Math Trivia:
The only number to have its letters in alphabetical order.
