Addition / Adding Integers by Using a Number Line
Using a number line is one way to think about what we are doing when adding / subtracting integers. It provides a nice visual representation of what we are doing.
Example:
Use a number line to add the following: 2 + (-6) Adding Integers (using the number line)
Example:
3 + 5, 3 + (-5), -6 + 2 Adding integers using the number line
Example:
-2 + (-4), -7 + 4, 2 + 3 Using the Number Line to add integers
Example:
-2 + (-3), 2 + 3, -2 + 3, 2 + (-3), -10 + 12, 2 + (-8), -5 + (-3), 2 + 3 Adding Integers using the number line and zero pairs
Example:
-5 + 3, 3 + (-6), -2 + (-4)
