Adding Integers

Topics for Today:

We used integer chip models and rules to add integers today. We talked about the inverse property of addition and discovered that additive inverses are just opposites of each other, and they add to zero. We also discussed how to use a number line to represent addition problems of both positive and negative integers.

Vocabulary:

additive inverse, inverse property of addition
