 MODULE IN MATHEMATICS 7

FIRST QUARTER
WEEK 3

This Module was designed in response to the “new normal” school year,resilience must
be built into our educational systems to ensure that knowledge and skills remain a priority for all
students. This Module contains the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) an
innovative response to the present situation of our educational system. With the distance
education or learning, the school hope for a continuous learning for the students who may not be
physically present at school. This is also to ensure the safety and health of the students.

LESSON: SET OF INTEGERS

EXPLORE
A. Some situations that often use negative numbers are given below. Complete the
table giving the appropriate terms.

Situation Negative Zero Positive

Time Before
Business Break even
Elevation Above sea level
Game Behind
Saving Account Withdrawal No change

B. Answer the following

A thermometer shows the temperature between OᵒC and 100ᵒC. 100 ᵒC
What happen if you put the thermometer in boiling oil?
What happens if you put thermometer in salted ice?

0ᵒC

FIRM-UP
When thinking about real numbers, you may find it helpful to think of a line. This line
contains an infinite number of points. A real number is assigned to each point on the line and a
point is assigned to each real number. This line is called number line. The number assigned to
each point is called the coordinate of the point.
NUMBER LINE
A B

NUMBER LINE show real numbers as points on a line.

All real numbers can be formed on the line, no matter how big or small they are and
no matter whether they are rational or irrational.

2
 Another way of showing the set of integers is to locate them as points on a number
line. On the horizontal number line, positive integers are to the right of zero and negative
integers are on the let of zero. The point on the number line assigned to 0 is called origin.

ORIGIN
The numbers to the left of zero on the number line are all negative - they are less than zero.
The numbers to the right of zero are positive - they are greater than zero.
Zero is neither negative nor positive.
GUIDED PRACTICE
1. Only integers can be found on the number line. Is this statement true or false?

2. Identify the corresponding real numbers of a point A-E on the number line below

A B C D E

3. Draw the graph of 6 on the number line

4. Draw the graph of -2 on the number line

DEEPEN
Number line can be useful for calculations. If you think of the number line as a road, then you
can think of coordinates as movement along the road-either to the left or to the right, depending
on the coordinate’s sign.

3
Absolute Value of a number is its distance from zero
The opposite of a real number c (that is, -c) lies an equal distance from zero as c but
on the other side of zero.
The opposite of 5 (which lies 5 units) to the right of zero) is -5 (which lies 5 units to
the left of zero).
The opposite of -10 (which lies 10 units to the left of zero) is 10 (which lies 10 units
to the right of zero).
The distance from zero to a number is called the number’s absolute value.
The absolute value of c is written c.
C if c > O
c = O if c =0
C if c < 0

Note: the absolute value of a number can never be negative.

Study Questions:
1. What is your initial idea on how to solve problem?
2. What methods did you use?
3. How did the concept or integer help you in solving?
4. Do you think learning integers is important in our daily life? Why?

In your previous lesson, you learned about the subsets of real numbers. One of them is the set of
integers. To illustrate this set of integers on the number line we have

Referring to the number line, what is the distance of 4 from zero? What is the distance of -4
from 0?
The distance of a number line from zero on a number line (always a positive number) is the
absolute value of the number. Indicated by the two vertical lines. /4/ = 4 and /-4/ = 4. Opposites
(like 4 and -4) have the same absolute values since they are of the same distance from zero.

END OF EXPLORE:
You just tried recalling the concept of Integers. Let’s now find out how to add, subtract,
multiply and divide integers on the next part.

FIRM-UP
How can we use integers in our daily life? In this section you will learn the rules and how
integers are useful in everyday tasks.

7
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

RULES:

In ADDING INTEGERS, check the sign of the integers:

Rule 1: if the Integers have the same sign, ADD then copy the COMMON SIGN.
Rule 2: If the Integers have unlike signs, SUBTRACT, then copy the SIGN of the LARGER
integer.

EXAMPLES

SAME SIGNS UNLIKE SIGNS

(3) + (6) = (+9) (-3) + (5) = (+2)
(-3) + (-6) = (-9) (5) + (-7) = (-2)
*LARGER is used here as a quick way to describe the integer with the greater absolute
value (distance from zero). In each of the examples above, the SECOND integer has a greater
Absolute Value. Note that 3 is the same as +3.

We experienced adding integers in many instances in our daily life-buying and selling, payment
of bills and the like. At times we are not aware that these are application of integers.

TRY THIS!
1. Theresa, a working mom, has to pay the following bills every second Friday of the
Month:
Water –Php 360.00
Electricity- Php 1500.00
Rental Fee (house)- Php 3000.00
Salary (Helper)- Php 1800.00

How much should she prepare to pay these bills?

What operation of integers will you use to answer the problem? Can integers help us solve
problems in our daily life?

2. Who was the first English mathematician who first used the modern symbol of equality in
1557?
(To get the answer, compute the sums of the given exercises below. Write the letter of the
problem corresponding to the answer found in each box at the bottom).

A 25 + 95 C. (30) + (-20) R 65 + 75
B 38 + (-15) D. (110) + (-75) O (-120) + (-35) 21
O 45 + (-20) T. (16) + (-38) R (165) + (-85)
R (-65) + (-20) R (-65) + (-40) E 47 + 98
E (78) + (-15) E (-75) + (20)

-105 25 63 23 -85 -22 140

-55 10 -155 80 35 145

8
 Now, let’s recall SUBTRACTION of INTEGERS:
In SUBTRACTING INTEGERS

RULES:

Step 1: change the sign of the subtrahend (the one written after the minus sign).
Step 2: FOLLOW the RULES of ADDITION
For example:
(-8) – (+2)

First copy the problem exactly (-8) + (+2) =

1. The first number stays the same (-8)

2. Change the operation (-8) +
3. Change the sign of the subtrahend (-8) + (-2)
4. Follow the rules for addition (-8) + (-2) = -10

Now, try this on your own!

How did you find the practice exercises? Great! Continue reading the lesson.

Read the following phrases often used in daily conversations.

Think about this…

1. What is common about the underlines words on the left? On the right?
2. If integers will be used to represent these phrases to mathematical phrases which
set of words represent negative integers? Positive integers?
3. Are integers helpful in daily life? Why do you say so?
4.

II. What is the name of the 4th highest mountain in the world?

(Decode the answer by finding the difference of the following subtraction problems. Write the

Solution:

How did you find the exercises? Were you able to identify the keywords and the related
number operation? If you did, then you are doing well.

In the next lesson, you will learn further other operations of integers that are very useful
in solving problems that you encounter in your daily experiences.
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF INTEGERS

Consider the situations below.

Jorge, a 7th grader is given a daily allowance of Php 100.00. He spent Php 20.00 for the
burger, Php 15.00 for drinks and Php 60 for the lunch. How much is saved for the day?

How will you answer the problem? What operation/s of integers will you use? How can
integers help us solve problems in our daily life? Can you cite your own examples related
to your personal experiences?
10
At times we encounter problems that can be solved conveniently using another operation.
In the following situations, think of an easier way of answering the problem. Will
addition and subtraction integers still be a convenient way of answering these problems?

Your mother tells you, this week your daily allowance increases to Php 60.00;
How much will you receive in 5 days? What integer operation will you use? Which one is
the faster way of getting the answer?

Ana owes 5 pesos to each of 4 friends. How much money does she owe?
What is the key word in the problem? What sign represents this keyword/What integer
operation will you use? What do you think is the sign of the result? When will this
operation yield a positive result? When will this operation yield a negative result?

This means (-5) is multiplied by (4) which gives a product of -20. This
is interpreted as Ana owes a total amount of 20 peso. Likewise, any
positive number multiplied by a negative number the result is negative.
Therefore, multiplication does now always mean making the number
bigger. In this case, it makes the number smaller since any negative number is smaller
than any positive number.

From the bus terminal, Cory and her friends took a taxi cab to their destination.
The driver charged them 120 peso. How much should each pay for the taxi fare?
What operation will you use?

If you subtract 4 from the 120, the result is 116. How many times more can you
subtract 4 from 116? This means you can subtract 4 from 120 thirty times. This implies
that 4 times 30 equals 120 and divided by 4 equals 30.
Earlier when we multiply (-5) and (4), the product is -20. This means when
we divide -20 by 4 the result is -5 or if we divide -20 by -5, the result is 4.

What is (-100) divided by (-25)? What is (-20) divided by (-4)? Therefore,

division does not always mean making the number smaller. In this case, it makes the
number bigger since any positive number is bigger than any negative number.

Just like addition and subtraction of integers, multiplication and division of integers
has many real life application and a faster way adding the same figures or what we call
repeated addition. When you buy ten pieces of eggs at 5 peso per piece, instead of adding ten
fives, simply multiply 10 and 5. Same concept applies with division of integers. If you want
to know how many eggs were bought out of your 50 peso at 5 peso per piece, just count how
many times you can subtract 5 from 50. Conveniently, simply divide 50 by 5.

Up to what extent can operation of integers help us solve real-life problems?

Hence, in MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING INTEGERS

RULE 1: If the integers have like signs, then the PRODUCT or QUOTIENT is a positive
integer.
RULE 2: If the integers have unlike signs, then the PRODUCT or QUOTIENT is a
negative integer.
For example.

LIKE SIGNS UNLIKE SIGNS

(8) (9) =72 (-8) (9) =-72
(-72)  (-9) =8 (-72)  (9) =-8
