Subtracting Integers on a Number Line

This video tutorial covers subtracting integers using a number line. It explains how moving right increases values and moving left decreases them. The lesson demonstrates modeling subtraction and addition on a number line, emphasizing the concept of adding the opposite. Practical examples illustrate these concepts, and the commutative property is discussed, highlighting its inapplicability to subtraction. The use of counters to model problems is also shown. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points.

What happens to the value of numbers as you move to the right on a number line?

• The value increases

• The value decreases

• The value stays the same

• The value becomes negative
