Mastering Integer Addition and Subtraction

This video tutorial by Mrs. Mata covers the basics of adding and subtracting integers. It introduces integers as positive and negative whole numbers and uses a song to help remember the rules for adding integers with the same or different signs. The tutorial provides examples of adding integers and demonstrates using a number line for visualizing integer operations. It also explains the KCC (Keep Change Change) method for converting subtraction problems into addition problems, followed by examples to reinforce the concept.

What are integers?

• Fractional numbers

• Positive and negative whole numbers

• Only negative whole numbers
