Notes: Subtract Integers on Number Line Using the number line Remember that if you are subtracting, your zombie should be facing towards the left. The sign of the second number decides if he steps forward (farther left) or backward (towards the right).
Your parents learned: To subtract an integer, add its additive inverse, p q = p + (-q) -3 5 = -8 6 (-2) -3 5 = -3 + -5 = -8 6 (-2) = 6 + ( + 2) = 8 9/2 Subtract Integers on Number line Draw a number line for each problem. Be sure to also show the problem with the additive inverse.
1. 14 17 2. 14 ( - 10) 3. -4 8 4. 4 (-19)
5. 52 (-52) 6. -6 9
7. Write a subtraction sentence using integers. Then, write the equivalent addition sentence and explain how to find the sum. 8. Use the table to answer the following questions. a. What is the difference between the highest elevation in Alabama and the lowest elevation in Louisiana? b. Find the difference between the lowest elevation in New Mexico and the lowest elevation in California. c. Find the difference between the highest elevation in Florida and the lowest elevation in California. d. What is the difference between the lowest elevation in Alabama and the lowest elevation in Louisiana?
9. Yoshi is finding -15 (-18). Find his mistake and correct it. State Alabama California Florida Louisiana New Mexico Lowest Elevation (ft) 0 -282 0 -8 2842 Highest Elevation (ft) 2407 14,494 345 535 13,161 -15 (-18) = -15 + (-18) = -33 Subtract Integers Using Number Chips Using the chips When we subtract the chips, we actually move them off of the board. The hard thing to remember is that sometimes there dont seem like there are chips but there are secretly zero pairs floating around which we are able to remove.
Your parents learned: To subtract an integer, add its additive inverse, p q = p + (-q) -3 5 = -8 -6 (-4) = -2 -3 5 = -3 + -5 = -8 -6 (-4) = -6 + ( + 4) = -2 Subtract using Integer Chips Model each problem using number chips. Be sure to also show the problem with the additive inverse.
1. 7 6 2. 5 - (-3) 3. 6 (-2) 4. 5 - 8
5. -7 (-2) 6. -7 3 7. -5 (-7) 8. -2 (-9)
9. Write a subtraction sentence where the difference is positive. Use a positive and a negative.
10. How is the number chip model for the problem -6 7 related to the way your parents learned to deal with positive and negative numbers (additive inverse)? 11. Circle an expression that is equal to the expression in the first column. The first one is done for you. -3 1 -3 + 1 -3 + (-1) -3 (-1) a. -2 9 -2 (-9) -2 + 9 -2 + (-9) b. -8 4 -8 + 4 -8 + (-4) -8 (-4) c. 6 (-2) 6 + 2 6 2 6 + (-2) d. 5 (-7) 5 7 5 + (-7) 5 + 7 e. -1 (-3) -1 3 -1 + 3 -1 + (-3) f. -3 (-8) -3 + 8 -3 8 -3 + (-8)
