Adding integersWhen adding integers, use a number line to help you think through problems.It will be really helpful For example: 2 + 6 Start at 2 and move 6 units to the right. Since you stopped at 8, the answer is 8 Notice that you would get the same answer if you start at 6 and move 2 units to the right. ![]() Find -2 + 8: Start at 2 and move 8 units to the right. Since you end up at 6, the answer is 6. ![]() Find 4 + -7 Start at 4. Here the number you are adding to 4 is a negative number(-7), so you have to move 7 units to the left. After you do that, you will end up at -3, so the answer is -3 ![]() Find -2 + -6 Start at -2 Once again, the number you are adding is a negative number(-6), so you will move 6 units to the left. You will end up at -8, so the answer is -8 ![]() Other examples: -1 + 8 = 7 ( Start at -1 and move 8 units to the right). 4 + -4 = 0 ( Start at 4 and move 4 units to the left). 7 + -9 = -2 ( Start at 7 and move 9 units to the left). -5 + 3 = -2 ( Start at -5 and move 3 units to the right) Use the following adding integers calculator to practice Other related topics related to integers are modeling integers with chips , integers and inductive reasoning ,and consecutive integers Fun math game: Destroy numbered balls by adding to 10
