Mastering Addition and Subtraction of Integers

The video introduces integer arithmetic, focusing on adding and subtracting integers. It explains two key rules: adding a negative is like subtracting a positive, and subtracting a negative is like adding a positive. The video outlines four cases of integer operations and provides a strategy involving three questions to solve these problems. It emphasizes the importance of practice to master integer arithmetic.

What makes adding and subtracting integers more complex than whole numbers?

• The presence of negative numbers introduces more possibilities.

• Integers can only be positive.

• There are fewer rules to follow with integers.

• Adding integers is the same as adding whole numbers.
