Combining Integers: A Comprehensive Assessment

What is an algorithm in the context of combining integers?

• A picture model

• A mathematical process or rule

• A type of integer

• A subtraction problem

When preparing to combine integers, what should you do if the operation is subtraction?

• Add the numbers directly

• Convert it to an equivalent addition problem

• Multiply the numbers

• Ignore the operation

How would you rewrite the problem -7 - 3 as an equivalent addition problem?

• -7 + 3

• -7 + (-3)

• 7 + 3

• 7 - 3

If you are combining two integers with the same signs, what should you do?

• Subtract the values and change the sign

• Add the values and keep the sign

• Divide the values

• Multiply the values

What is the result of combining -3 and -5?

• 2

• -2

• -8

• 8

When combining integers with different signs, what operation do you perform?

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Division

• Subtraction

What is the result of combining 10 and -6?

• -4

• 16

• 4

• -16

How would you rewrite the problem -9 - (-5) as an equivalent addition problem?

• 9 + 5

• -9 + (-5)

• -9 + 5

• 9 - 5

What is the purpose of using a picture model when combining integers?

• To make the problem more complex

• To verify your work

• To multiply the integers

• To change the signs of the integers

What happens when you see different colored dots in a picture model?

• They add up

• They multiply

• They divide

• They cancel each other out
