Exploring Integer Addition with Tiles

The video tutorial covers the addition of integers, including positive, negative, and zero. It uses colored tiles to visually demonstrate the process of adding integers. The tutorial explains how to add two positive numbers, a positive and a negative number, and two negative numbers. It highlights the concept of zero pairs, where a positive and a negative number cancel each other out, resulting in zero. The tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on how to perform these operations using visual aids.

What are integers?

• Numbers that are either negative, positive, or zero

• Numbers that are only negative

• Numbers that are only positive

• Numbers that are fractions

What color represents positive numbers in the tile method?

• Green

• Red

• Blue

• Yellow

How many positive tiles are used to represent the number 5?

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 6

What is the result of adding positive 5 and positive 3 using tiles?

• Positive 9

• Positive 8

• Positive 10

• Positive 7

What is the first step when adding a positive and a negative integer?

• Take the positive tiles first

• Take the negative tiles first

• Count the total number of tiles first

• Circle the zero pairs first

What do you do with the zero pairs when adding a positive and a negative integer?

• Circle them as they cancel each other out

• Subtract them

• Add them together

• Ignore them

What is the result of adding positive 5 and negative 6 using tiles?

• Positive 1

• Negative 1

• Negative 5

• Negative 3

• Negative 7

• Negative 9

Why do no tiles cancel out when adding two negative integers?

• Because they are both zero

• Because they are both positive numbers

• Because there are no negative tiles

• Because there are no positive tiles
