Mastering the Rules of Adding Integers

This video tutorial covers the rules for adding integers, both with the same and different signs. It begins with a review of adding integers using a number line, then explains how to add integers with the same sign by simply adding the numbers and keeping the sign. The tutorial also covers adding integers with different signs by subtracting the numbers and keeping the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. The lesson concludes with a summary and credits to contributors.
