Adding Integers on a Number Line

Mr. Buffington introduces adding integers using a number line. The lesson covers defining integers, demonstrating how to add them on a number line, and provides practice problems. It concludes with a word problem to apply the concepts learned. Key points include understanding positive and negative numbers, using a number line for addition, and recognizing patterns in integer addition.
