Adding Integers with Counters

What is the primary focus when adding integers using counters and number lines?

• To identify patterns based on signs

• To use as many counters as possible

• To find the largest integer

• To memorize all possible integer sums

When adding integers with the same sign using counters, what is the result?

• The sum changes sign

• The sum increases in the direction of the sign

• The sum is always zero

• The integers cancel each other out

How does using a number line help in adding integers?

• It automatically calculates the sum

• It reduces the number of integers

• It changes the signs of integers

• It visualizes the addition process

What are zero pairs in the context of integer addition?

• Pairs of zeros added to the sum

• Pairs of counters that are unused

• Pairs of integers that sum to zero

• Pairs of the same integer

What does adding a positive and a negative integer resemble?

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

• Exponentiation

What does the presence of zero pairs indicate in integer addition?

• The numbers are all positive

• The numbers are all negative

• There are equal numbers of positive and negative integers

• The sum is always positive

When integers with opposite signs are added, what operation does it resemble?

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• None of the above

• Addition

What rule applies when adding integers with the same signs?

• Subtract and keep the sign

• Add and keep the sign

• Add and change the sign

• None of the above

When adding integers with different signs, what should you do?

• None of the above

• Subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the larger number

• Multiply the numbers

• Add the numbers and keep the smaller number's sign

What should you do after learning the rules of adding integers?

• Write the rules repeatedly

• None of the above

• Teach the rules to someone else

• Forget the rules immediately
