1 NS7-5 Adding Integers on a Number Line Pages Standards: 7.NS.A.1b Goals: Students will add integers using a number line. Students will interpret addition of integers when the integers are written in brackets. Prior Knowledge Required: Can represent integers on a number line Can add whole numbers on a number line Vocabulary: integer, negative, positive Materials: pre-cut arrows (made from Bristol board, see below for details) BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6, 2 copies for each student (p. C-85) Preparation. Using Bristol board, cut out eight arrows, one of each length, in 6-inch intervals: 6 inches, 12 inches, 18 inches, and 24 inches. Label the arrows, front and back, with the positive integers from 1 to 4 showing arrows pointing right and the negative integers 1 to 4 showing arrows pointing left. Keep them for a later lesson (NS7-11: Adding and Subtracting Fractions with the Same Denominator) as well Using arrows to represent integers on number lines. Draw on the board a number line from 4 to 4 with the numbers 6 inches apart, and show students how to represent 3 by starting the 3 arrow at SAY: We can use the arrows starting at 0 to show the number. An arrow 3 units long will point at 3 if it points right. ASK: Where will the same arrow point if it points left? (at 3) Turn the arrow around to show this (your arrow should have 3 written on the back). Ask volunteers to show other integers using the arrows: 2, + 4, 1. C-20 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

2 Using arrows to add integers on number lines. Write on the board: (+3) + ( 4) Using the same number line as above, demonstrate how to use arrows to add 3 and 4. SAY: You have to start at 0 and find where you end up after adding both numbers. So, after adding the 3 arrow, you start the 4 arrow where the 3 arrow finishes. Show this on the board: So (+3) + ( 4) = ASK: So what is positive three plus negative four? (negative one) Have volunteers use the arrows and the same number line to add other pairs of numbers: ( 2) + (+3) (+1) + ( 3) ( 2) + ( 1) (+3) + (+1) (+1, 2, 3, + 4) Now provide students with BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6 to do the exercises below (give each student two copies double-sided). Point out that when using a number line to add, students don t need to draw the arrows on the number line because the fact that the number line can continue isn t needed to solve the problem. Exercises: Add using a number line. a) ( 4) + (+1) b) (+3) + ( 6) c) ( 4) + ( 2) d) ( 3) + (+2) e) (+2) + ( 3) Bonus: ( 5) + (+3) + ( 2) Answers: a) 3, b) 3, c) 6, d) 1, e) 1, Bonus: 4 (MP.1) Tell students that in parts d) and e) they are adding the same two numbers, so they should get the same answers. Bonus: Use other pairs of numbers to check that adding the same numbers gets the same answer, no matter which order you add them in. SAY: You can also add integers by thinking of them as gains and losses. (MP.1) Exercise: Do the previous exercises without using a number line. Make sure you get all the same answers. Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-21

3 (MP.7) A shortcut way to add on a number line. Tell students that there is a shortcut way to add on a number line. ASK: What can you do instead of drawing the first arrow? (rather than the first arrow starting at 0 and ending at the first number, you can just start at the first number and draw only the arrow for the second number) Exercises: Use a number line to add. Draw only one arrow. a) ( 3) + (+5) b) (+4) + ( 5) c) ( 5) + ( 1) Bonus: Draw only two arrows to add ( 3) + (+7) + ( 5). Answers: a) +2, b) 1, c) 6, Bonus: 1 A different notation is sometimes used for adding integers. Tell students that they can add integers by writing the integers without brackets, the same as when adding gains and losses. Write on the board: (+7) + ( 4) = SAY: Adding +7 is just like adding a gain of 7, and adding 4 is just like adding a loss of 4. It s easy to change the notation to not have brackets. Write on the board: +(+) = + +( ) = Exercises: Write the addition without brackets. a) ( 3) + (+4) b) (+5) + ( 6) c) (+5) + (+1) d) ( 3) + ( 4) Answers: a) 3 + 4, b) + 5 6, c) , d) 3 4 Students will need BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6 for the exercises below. (MP.1) Exercises: Add the integers in two ways by thinking of them as gains and losses, then by using a number line. Make sure you get the same answer both times. a) ( 5) + (+3) b) (+6) + ( 3) c) ( 4) + (+6) d) ( 2) + ( 3) Answers: a) 2, b) +3, c) +2, d) 5 Extensions 1. a) Extend the pattern using BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6. i) +4, +3, +2,,, ii) +5, +3, +1,,, iii) 6, 3, 0,, Answers: i) +1, 0, 1; ii) 1, 3, 5; iii) +3, +6 C-22 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

4 b) Use the pattern to add. i) (+5) + (+3) +8 ii) (+3) + ( 7) (+5) + (+2) +7 (+2) + ( 7) (+5) + (+1) +6 (+1) + ( 7) (+5) + (0) +5 (0) + ( 7) (+5) + ( 1) + ( 7) ( 7) ( 7) Answers: i) (+5) + (+3) +8 ii) (+3) + ( 7) 4 (+5) + (+2) +7 1 (+2) + ( 7) 5 (+5) + (+1) +6 1 (+1) + ( 7) 6 (+5) + (0) +5 1 (0) + ( 7) 7 (+5) + ( 1) +4 1 _( 1)_ + ( 7) _( 2) _( 2)_ + ( 7) _( 3)_ +2 _( 3)_ + ( 7) Solve the puzzle by placing the same integer in each shape. a) + + = 6 b) + + = 30 Answers: a) 2, b) 10 (MP.1) 3. In the square, the integers in each row and column and the two diagonals (these include the center box) add up to +6.

5 NS7-6 Using Pictures to Subtract Integers Pages Standards: 7.NS.A.1c, 7.NS.A.1d Goals: Students will use pictures to subtract integers. Prior Knowledge Required: Can use pictures to represent integers Vocabulary: positive, negative, integer Materials: 10 + cards and 10 cards BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6 (p. C-85, see Extension 2) Preparation. Create 10 cards with a + sign in a circle, and 10 cards with a sign in a circle, that you can tape to the board and remove easily. Tell students that the positive sign in a circle can represent a gain of $1 or a positive charge. The negative sign in a circle can represent a loss of $1 or a negative charge. Using pictures to subtract positives from positives and negatives from negatives. Tape to the board five + cards. ASK: What integer does this represent? (+5) SAY: In the same way you can add integers by adding positives and negatives, you can subtract integers by taking some away. Now take away two of the cards and ASK: Now what integer does this represent? (+3) Write on the board: (+5) (+2) = +3 Then repeat with five cards, again taking away two cards. Have a volunteer write the equation on the board: ( 5) ( 2) = 3 Then draw on the board: For each picture, ASK: What integer does this picture represent? (the first picture represents +3 and the second picture represents 4) Then show this on the board: C-24 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

6 ASK: When I take away +2 from +3, what do I get? (+1) Have a volunteer write the equation under the picture: (+3) (+2) = +1 When I take away 1 from 4, what am I left with? ( 3) Have a volunteer write the equation under the picture: ( 4) ( 1) = 3 SAY: When you subtract a number that has a positive or negative sign in front, you always have to put brackets around the number you are subtracting so that you don t have to write the subtracting symbol right next to the positive or negative sign. But you don t always have to put brackets around the first number. Write on the board: 4 ( 1) = 3 Exercises: Write a subtraction for the picture. a) b) Answers: a) 5 3 = 3 or +5 (+3) = +2, b) 6 ( 2) = 4 Representing an integer with both positives and negatives. Draw on the board: ASK: What number does this represent? ( 3) Then add a positive and a negative as shown below and ASK: Now what number is represented? (still 3) SAY: The positive and negative that I added cancel each other (circle them), so we are back where we started. Exercises: What number is represented? Hint: Circle amounts that cancel. What s left? a) b) c) Answers: a) +3, b) +2, c) 3 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-25

7 Subtracting a negative number from a positive number. Write on the board: +3 ( 1) SAY: I want to take away one negative, but there aren t any negatives to subtract. ASK: What can I do? Have students work in pairs to try to find a solution. As students work, provide guidance as needed. For example, you can PROMPT: How can I add a negative and keep the value represented the same? (add a positive, too) Show doing so on the board. Then SAY: Now I can take away 1. Cross out the minus sign. ASK: I started with +3 and took away 1. What s left? (+4) Now write on the board: +3 ( 1) = ( 3) = Ask a volunteer to draw a picture (or use the cards) of +2 that has 3 negatives. ASK: If I remove the three negatives, what s left? (+5) Write that answer on the board. Exercises: a) Draw a picture of +5 that has i) 1 negative ii) 2 negatives iii) 3 negatives iv) 4 negatives b) Use your pictures from part a) to subtract. i) +5 ( 1) ii) +5 ( 2) iii) +5 ( 3) iv) +5 ( 4) (MP.8) c) Predict +5 ( 5). Answers: a) i) ii) iii) iv) b) i) 6, ii) 7, iii) 8, iv) 9 c) 10 Have volunteers explain their prediction for part c). (all the numbers are becoming 1 bigger) C-26 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

8 Exercises: Add enough positives and negatives to the picture of the first number so that you can subtract the second number. a) +3 ( 1) b) +1 ( 2) c) +2 ( 2) d) +1 ( 4) Answers: a) 4, b) 3, c) 4, d) 5 Subtracting a positive number from a negative number. Write on the board: 2 (+3) SAY: I have to add 3 positives to make enough to subtract. ASK: What else do I need to add if I want to keep the values the same? (3 negatives) Demonstrate doing so: 2 (+3) Have a volunteer do the subtraction by removing the 3 positives (if you used cards, the volunteer can literally remove them): 2 (+3) = 5 Exercises: Draw a picture of the first number so that you can subtract the second number. Then subtract. a) 2 (+1) b) 1 (+3) c) 4 (+2) d) 3 (+2) (MP.1, MP.3) Bonus: How do your answers to parts c) and d) compare? Why does this make sense? Answers: a) 3, b) 4, c) 6, d) 5, Bonus: the answer to part d) is one more that the answer to part c) because 3 is one more than 4 Subtracting when there is not enough to subtract more cases. Write on the board: 2 ( 3) Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-27

9 ASK: Are there enough negatives to subtract? (no) I already have two negatives: how many more do I need? (1 more) If I add one negative, what else do I need to add? (one positive) Ask a volunteer to do that and another volunteer to do the subtraction: 2 ( 3) 2 ( 3) 2 ( 3) 2 ( 3) = +1 Repeat with more examples for volunteers to solve: + 2 (+4), 1 ( 3), + 2 (+5). ( 2, 2, 3) Exercises: Change the picture of the first number so you can subtract the second number. Then subtract. a) 1 (+2) b) +2 ( 4) c) 3 ( 4) d) +1 (+3) Bonus: How do the answers to parts b) and c) compare? Why does this make sense? Answers: a) 3, b) +6, c) +1, d) 2, Bonus: the answer to part c) is 5 less than the answer to part b) because 3 is 5 less than +2 SAY: Now you need to draw the picture of the first number yourself. Add enough positives and negatives to it so you can subtract the second number. Exercises: Subtract. a) +3 (+5) b) ( 1) (+2) c) 2 ( 6) d) (+3) ( 3) Answers: a) 2, b) 3, c) +4, d) +6 Extensions 1. a) Complete the picture to show 3. i) ii) iii) b) Use the pictures you made in part a) to subtract. i) 3 (+1) ii) 3 (+2) iii) 3 (+3) Answers: a) i) ii) iii) b) Removing the positives results in i) 4, ii) 5, iii) 6 NOTE: After students finish Extension 1, point out that another way of looking at what they did is to solve missing addend problems. i) +1 + = 3 ii) +2 + = 3 iii) +3 + = 3 For example, they had to add 4 negatives to +1 to get 3. So, for integers it s the same as for whole numbers subtracting is the same as finding the missing addend. C-28 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

10 (MP.4) 2. Give students a copy of BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6. Demonstrate how they can use the BLM to determine the time in one city when given the time in another city in a different time zone. For example, tell students that it is 3:00 p.m. in the +4 time zone. Tell students that you want to determine the time in the 5 time zone. (p.m.) Point out that it is earlier to the left on the number line and later to the right on the number line. Together, fill in the number line to the left to find the time in the 5 time zone. (a.m.) (p.m.) So, it is 6 a.m. in the 5 time zone. Now display the time zones below. Time Zones Muscat, Oman +4 Helsinki, Finland +2 Rome, Italy +1 New York City, USA 5 Chicago, USA 6 a) A sporting event is being held in Rome at 2 p.m. Abdul lives in Muscat. At what time should he turn on his television to watch the event live? b) An acting awards ceremony is being held in New York City at 7:30 p.m. Alexa lives in Helsinki. At what time should she turn on her television to watch the event live? c) Jin lives in Chicago. His friend Clara lives in Helsinki. Jin wants to call Clara when he gets home from school at 4 p.m. Clara goes to bed at 10:30 p.m. Will she get the call before she goes to bed? Answers: a) 5 p.m.; b) 2:30 a.m.; c) no, it will be 12:00 midnight where Clara lives when Jin calls Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-29

11 NS7-7 Subtracting Integers on a Number Line Pages Standards: 7.NS.A.1c Goals: Students will use a number line to subtract integers. Students will recognize that the distance between two integers is the absolute value of their difference. Prior Knowledge Required: Knows how to subtract by counting up Vocabulary: absolute value, integer, negative, positive Materials: BLM Subtraction on a Number Line (p. C-86) BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6 (p. C-85) Review using a number line to subtract two ways. Write on the board: ASK: How would you use the number line to subtract 5 3? Have a volunteer show their work. (most likely, students will start at 5 and move left 3 spaces to reach 2) Then let another volunteer show a different way. If no one suggests it, remind students that they can count up from 3 to 5. SAY: You can ask: How can you get from 3 to 5 on the number line? You need to move 2 units right, so the answer is +2. Show this on the board as follows: 5 3 = SAY: In this case, the answer isn t where you end up. This time, the answer is how you get from 3 to 5. Now write on the board: 3 5. Have two volunteers each show a different way to solve this on a number line. Make sure that both solutions come up. C-30 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

12 Solution 1: Start at 3 and move left 5 spaces to reach Solution 2: How do you get from 5 to 3? Move two places left, so 3 5 = 2 If needed, you can PROMPT: To subtract 5 3, you asked how you can get from 3 to 5; what question would you ask to subtract 3 5? (How can you get from 5 to 3?) 3 5 = SAY: Both ways of subtracting 3 5 are correct and they both get the answer 2. In this lesson, we will use the second way to subtract integers. The answer isn t where you end up on the number line, but how you get from the second number to the first number. You have to start at the second number and ask yourself: How do I get to the first number? If you have to move right, the answer is positive, because you re subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number. Use the 5 3 example to illustrate. Then SAY: But if you have to move left, then you re subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, so the answer is negative. Use the 3 5 example to illustrate. Give students BLM Subtraction on a Number Line. Exercises: Do Question 1 on the BLM. Answers: a) +4, b) 6, c) 1, d) +3 SAY: Where the arrow ends is where you start the subtraction. Exercises: Do Question 2 on the BLM. Answers: a) 1 ( 5) = +4, b) 2 ( 1) = +3, c) 5 ( 4) = 1, d) 1 (+5) = 6 Students will need a copy of BLM Number Lines from 6 to 6 to do the exercises below. SAY: Where you start the subtraction is where the arrow ends. Exercises: Draw the arrow that shows the answer. For parts e) to h), do the subtraction. a) +4 ( 1) = +5 b) 3 (+2) = 5 c) 6 (+3) = 9 d) 2 ( 5) = +3 e) 2 (+4) = f) 5 ( 2) = g) +1 ( 1) = h) +3 (+6) = Answers: a) from 1 to +4, b) from +2 to 3, c) from +3 to 6, d) from 5 to 2, e) from +4 to 2, 6; f) from 2 to 5, 3; g) from 1 to +1, +2, h) from +6 to +3, 3 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-31

13 Subtracting the same numbers in opposite orders gets opposite answers. Draw on the board: 5 2 = = (MP.1, MP.2) Have volunteers draw the arrows for both subtractions, then give the answers. ASK: How are the arrows the same? (they have the same length) How are the arrows different? (the directions are different) How are the answers the same? (the number part is the same) How are the answers different? (the sign is different) Point out that the length of the arrow, or how far apart the numbers are, tells you the number part of the answer and the direction tells you the sign. SAY: The distance between the integers, or how far apart they are, is always a positive number. But the subtraction is positive only if you subtract a smaller number from a bigger number. Exercises: Which subtraction tells you how far apart the numbers are? a) 3 5 or 5 3 b) +2 ( 1) or 1 (+2) c) 3 ( 5) or 5 ( 3) Answers: a) 5 3, b) +2 ( 1), c) 3 ( 5) Introduce absolute value notation. Remind students that the absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. Tell students that because absolute value is used a lot, mathematicians have created a notation for it so that you don t have to keep writing out the words. Write on the board: 3 = 3 Read the equation as: The absolute value of negative three is three. Point out that the absolute value is the number part without the sign. Exercises: Write the number. a) 9 = b) +10 = c) 12 = d) +3.4 = 1 e) - 3 = 2 f) 8.7 = Answers: a) 9, b) 10, c) 12, d) 3.4, e) 3 1/2, f) 8.7 C-32 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

14 Subtraction and distance apart. Write on the board: 3 (+1) = ASK: Is the answer positive or negative? (negative) SAY: The number I m taking away (point to +1) is bigger than the number I m taking it from (point to 3), so the answer is negative. Write the negative sign to begin the answer. ASK: What is the number part? (4) How do you know? (the numbers are 4 units apart) SAY: The distance apart is always the number part of the subtraction so, if you know the answer to the subtraction, then the absolute value is the distance apart. Write on the board: 3 (+1) is the distance between the integers 3 and +1 Exercises: Subtract the second number from the first. Then take the absolute value to find the distance between the integers. a) 4 and +5 b) 3 and 6 c) 18 and 3 d) 100 and 124 Answers: a) 9 = 9, b) 3 = 3, c) 15 = 15, d) 24 = 24 (MP.4) Exercises: Find the distance apart. Show your answer with a subtraction equation. a) How much warmer is +6 F than 4 F? b) How much lower is 30 ft than +42 ft? c) Mark lives 8 blocks north (+) of the school and Jenny lives 3 blocks south ( ) of the school. How far apart do they live? d) Ravi lives 5 blocks south of the school and Sandy lives 12 blocks south of the school. How far apart do they live? Answers: a) +6 ( 4) = 10, so 10 F; b) 30 (+42) = 72, so 72 ft; c) +8 ( 3) = 11, so 11 blocks; d) 5 ( 12) = 7, so 7 blocks apart NOTE: There are two different ways to subtract on a number line. For example, to subtract 17 2, you can start at 17 and count 2 places left. The answer is where you end up. Or, you can find the distance between 2 and 17 by counting how many steps you have to take to get from 2 to 17. The answer is the number of steps. If you want to explore this further, students can do Extension 1. Extensions 1. Subtract 12 3 in two ways on a number line. Make sure you get the same answer both ways. Answer: 9 (MP.1) 2. Show students the connection between the fact that has the same answer as and the fact that addition is commutative: is really just another way of writing 10 + ( 5) + 3 which, by commutativity, is ( 5). Have students use the commutativity of addition to make the calculation easier. a) b) Answers: a) = = 14, b) = 40 6 = 34 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-33

The distance between two negative numbers is 5/7. Give one pair of numbers that work. Sample answer: 1/7 and 6/7 7. The distance between 62 and a negative integer is 100. What is the negative integer? Answer: 38 C-34 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

16 NS7-8 Patterns in Subtraction Pages Standards: 7.NS.A.1c, 7.NS.A.1d Goals: Students will understand subtraction of integers as adding the additive inverse. Prior Knowledge Required: Can subtract integers on a number line Can use a picture to subtract integers Can add integers Vocabulary: integer, negative, opposite, positive Materials: 10 + cards and 10 cards BLM Adding and Subtracting Integers on a Number Line (pp. C-87 88, see Extension 2) Subtracting a number from 0 gets the opposite of the number. Draw on the board: ( 3) SAY: These subtractions start at 0, so the arrow ends at 0 and starts at the other number. Have two volunteers draw the arrows and two more volunteers do the subtractions (0 2 = 2 and 0 ( 3) = +3). Then ask volunteers to predict: 0 (+5) 0 ( 7) 0 (+80) 0 ( 900) PROMPTS: Is +5 greater than 0 or less than 0? (greater) So if the number I m subtracting is bigger than 0, is the difference positive or negative? (negative) SAY: Subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number gets a negative answer. Repeat for the other subtractions (the answers are 5, +7, 80, and +900). Point out that subtracting from 0 changes the sign, but keeps the number part the same. Write on the board: 0 ( 3) = +3 0 (+3) = 3 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System C-35

17 Exercises: Subtract from 0. a) 0 4 b) 0 ( 4) c) 0 18 d) 0 ( 43) e) 0 (+71) Answers: a) 4, b) +4, c) 18, d) +43, e) 71 Have students show their answers to parts a) and b) on a number line (they can draw the number line themselves or you can provide one for them). Subtracting a number is like adding its opposite. Write on the board, using cards for the negatives: 5 (+2) Have a volunteer show how to change the picture so that you can subtract +2. Then SAY: We needed to add two positives and two negatives. Now we take away the two positives. Do so, then SAY: It s like all we did was add the two negatives. So subtracting two positives gets the same answer as adding two negatives. Exercises: Subtract +2 and add 2 to the same number. Make sure you get the same answer. a) +3 (+2) and +3 + ( 2) b) 3 (+2) and 3 + ( 2) c) +5 (+2) and +5 + ( 2) d) 0 (+2) and 0 + ( 2) Answers: a) +1 and +1, b) 5 and 5, c) +3 and +3, d) 2 and 2 Write on the board: +4 ( 1) Have a volunteer show how to change the picture so you can subtract 1. Then SAY: We needed to add one positive and one negative. Now we take away the one negative. Do so, then SAY: It s like all we did was add the one positive. So subtracting one negative gets the same answer as adding one positive. Exercises: Subtract 1 and add +1 to the same number. Make sure you get the same answer. a) +3 ( 1) and +3 + (+1) b) 3 ( 1) and 3 + (+1) c) +5 ( 1) and +5 + (+1) d) 2 ( 1) and 2 + (+1) Answers: a) +4 and +4, b) 2 and 2, c) +6 and +6, d) 1 and 1 SAY: You can subtract any number by adding its opposite number. Exercises: Fill in the blank so that both questions have the same answer. Then check your answer by evaluating both expressions. a) 5 ( 3) and 5 + b) +5 (+6) and +5 + c) 3 ( 2) and 3 + d) +3 (+4) and +3 + e) +4 (+1) and +4 + f) +2 ( 3) and +2 + C-36 Teacher s Guide for AP Book 7.1 Unit 2 The Number System

18 Answers: a) 5 ( 3) = 5 + (+3) = 2, b) +5 (+6) = +5 + ( 6) = 1, c) 3 ( 2) = 3 + (+2) = 1, d) +3 (+4) = +3 + ( 4) = 1, e) +4 (+1) = +4 + ( 1) = +3, f) +2 ( 3) = +2 + (+3) = +5 (MP.1) Demonstrate the connection between adding opposites and subtracting a number from itself.
