Subtraction of Integers Saturday, August 9, 2014 We are learning to…add and subtract positive and negative integers with Algebra Tiles.
Subtracting Integers with Counting Chips • Subtraction means …to take away, so to show this with chips we will have to…startwith a certain amount of chips and then take away from that group. -1 4 -5 -6 0 -7 Now try: PROBLEM ?
How can we take a negative away from a positive? Solution: • Add in “Zero Pairs” until you have enough negative (or positives) to take away! • A Zero Pair is a positive and a negative Algebra Tile. • Since the two chips cancel each other, you are really adding in zero and not changing the problem. • Remember: = 0 + 6
Subtraction of Integers Practice 9 -11 9 -14 3 -8 Now try a few assessment questions to test your skills adding and subtraction integers!
What expression do these tiles represent? • 7-3 • 7+3 • -7+(-3) • -7-(-3) • I need help with this question.
-7 – (-4) = ______ • 3 • -11 • 11 • -3 • I need help with this question.
-6 – 4 = _____ • -10 • 10 • -2 • 2 • I need help with this question.
5 – (-3) = _______ • 8 • 2 • -2 • -8 • I need help with this question.
