Mastering Integer Addition Techniques

This video tutorial covers the rules for adding integers, focusing on cases with the same and different signs. It explains the algorithm for adding integers, including finding the sum for same signs and the difference for different signs. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, including how to handle absolute values and rearrange numbers for easier subtraction. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key rules.

What should you do when adding two integers with the same sign?

• Add the absolute values and keep the sign

• Subtract the absolute values

• None of the above

• Always result in a positive number

What is the result of -3 + -2?

• -1

• 1

• -5

• 5

In the example -3 + -2, why is the result negative?

• Because both numbers are negative

• Because both numbers are positive

• Because the numbers have different signs

• None of the above

When adding integers with different signs, what should you do?

• Subtract the absolute values and keep the sign of the number with higher absolute value

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger and take the sign of the larger

• Add the numbers and ignore the signs

• None of the above

What is the result of -4 + 1?

• 5

• -5

• 3

• -3

How do you determine the sign of the result when adding integers with different signs?

• Take the sign of the number with the lower absolute value

• Take the sign of the number with the higher absolute value

• It is always negative

• It is always positive

What does 'finding the difference' imply in the context of adding integers with different signs?

• Adding the numbers

• Multiplying the numbers

• Dividing one number by the other

• Subtracting one number from the other

What is the first step when adding integers with different signs?

• Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value

• None of the above

• Add the numbers as if they were positive

• Identify the sign of each number

What is the result of -2 + 9?

• 7

• -7

• 11

• -11

What is the final step in determining the result of adding integers with different signs?

• Determine the sign based on the higher absolute value

• Subtract the results

• Add the results

• None of the above
