The products decrease by 5 each time. The products increase by 5 each time. We want the distributive law to hold for the integers. We will use this to establish the rules for division involving the integers. Strategies for integer arithmetic. Efficient calculations with the integers are made simpler through methods that are not necessarily included in the above discussion.
There is no evidence of the Greeks mentioning negative numbers. Brahmagupta, an Indian Mathematician, wrote important works on mathematics and astronomy including a work called Brahmasphutasiddhanta The Opening of the Universe in the year This book is believed to mark the first appearance of the rules for negative numbers in the way we know today. He gives the following rules for positive and negative numbers in terms of fortunes positive numbers and debts negative numbers.
A debt subtracted from zero is a fortune. A fortune subtracted from zero is a debt. The product of zero multiplied by a debt or a fortune is zero. The product of zero multiplied by zero is zero. The product or quotient of two fortunes is a fortune. The product or quotient of two debts is a fortune. The product or quotient of a debt and a fortune is a debt. The product or quotient of a fortune and a debt is a debt.
After Brahmagupta other Hindu writers used negative numbers and all Hindu mathematicians used the rules discussed by Brahmagupta from about AD.
In Europe, Fibonacci interpreted a negative solution of a linear equation in a financial problem as a loss instead of a gain but little else was done in medieval times in Europe. The first of the 16th century writers to consider negative numbers was Cardano. In his book Ars Magna he found negative solutions of equations and gave a clear statement of the rules we have discussed in this chapter.
When negative numbers did begin to make an appearance different notations were used. The acceptance of negative numbers was established during the seventeenth century through the work of mathematicians such as Fermat and Descartes. In this module we developed the integers intuitively in a way that would be appropriate for classroom use.
We wanted the integers to satisfy the usual rules of arithmetic such as the commutative, associative and distributive laws of addition and multiplication, and this insistence led us to the rules for multiplication and division for integers.
A careful look at how we derived, for example, the rule that the product of two negative numbers is positive, will reveal that we tacitly used the rules mentioned above when dealing with integers. In this appendix, we present a more formal construction for the integers using ordered pairs and the idea of an equivalence class.
While we hope that teachers find this an interesting approach, and one which confirms that the rules of integer arithmetic really can be rigorously proven , the material in this appendix is not meant for the classroom. The starting point is to take the set of ordered pairs a , b of whole numbers.
You will immediately realize then, that 5, 3 and 8, 6 both represent the number 2 and so we will say that two ordered pairs a , b and c , d are equivalent if. We now define the addition of two ordered pairs as follows:. Notice that since we are using ordered pairs of whole numbers , we can use the usual rules of arithmetic, the commutative, associative and distributive rules for the whole numbers.
We can see, for example, that the commutative law holds for addition of ordered pairs, since. The multiplication rule is a little trickier. Hence we define multiplication of the ordered pairs by a , b. Thus, for example, 1, 3. Find the sum and product of the following ordered pairs and interpret these in terms of positive and negative integers.
The second equality uses both the commutative laws for addition and multiplication of whole numbers. Addition and subtraction are inverse operations so one operation undoes the other. It is the need for these number laws to hold that establishes the effect of operations, such as subtracting a negative integer has the same effect as adding a positive integer.
The act of creating or removing one positive and one negative pairs that equal zero does not alter the quantity being represented. The vector model presents integers as magnitudes with direction.
The learning opportunities in this unit can be differentiated by providing or removing support to students and by varying the task requirements. Ways to support students include:. The unit uses the contexts of money, positive and negative spaces, and scale.
Other contexts might better suit the interests and cultural backgrounds of your students. Students interested in sports might enjoy golf as a context, and those who enjoy computer find points schemes interesting.
Some students may enjoy the context of comparing temperatures from locations around the world, and finding out which locations have the most and least variation in a full year. The video finishes with Escalante asking his students why a negative number multiplied by a negative number gives a positive answer.
Good question! In this unit the context is about road builders. In real life one of the largest costs of new roads is relocation of earth, particularly if earth must be brought in from off-site. Roads are best flat and both hills and dales present potential costs unless a hill can be used to fill a dale. In this session students explore the addition of Integers in the context of dollars and debts.
The net financial position of a person is the sum of the money they have available and the debts they owe. In this session the vector model is connected to the Hills and Dales and Dollars and Debts models. The aim is to generalise addition and subtraction of Integers. It is important to distinguish the vectors that represent positive and negative numbers and the addition and subtraction as operations, addition as movement to the right and subtraction as movement to the left.
In this session the vector model is developed into a number line model which highlights the direction of change when Integers are added and subtracted. Log in or register to create plans from your planning space that include this resource.

Description of Mathematics. Specific Teaching Points Integers are an extension of the whole number system. With addition and subtraction four main properties hold: The commutative property of addition The order of the addends does not affect the sum. The distributive property of addition This property is really about the partitioning of addends and recombining those addends. Inverse operations Addition and subtraction are inverse operations so one operation undoes the other.
Opportunities for Adaptation and Differentiation. Ways to support students include: Physically moving up and down a number line to act out addition and subtraction as operations. Addition involves facing right and subtraction involves facing left.
The sign of the integer tells whether to walk forward positive or backwards negative. Using the physical and diagrammatic models in conjunction with symbols so students can work out the answers to calculation by linking the symbols to quantities, e. Supporting students by modelling correct equations for calculations.
Be clear about the difference between an operation symbol, and a direction symbol such as -4 which gives a direction of movement and the size of that movement. Use calculators in a predictive way, that is thinking about the answer using models, then testing the answer out on a calculator. Also use calculators to generate patterns of equations quickly, and expect students to generalise from the patterns.
For example, subtracting a negative as the same effect as adding the matching positive. Session One This session introduces negative integers in real life and presents integers as vectors. Example 2: A plane is flying at the height of m above sea level.
At some point, it is exactly above the submarine floating m below sea level. What is the vertical distance between them? To calculate the vertical distance between them, we will use the subtraction of two integers operation:.
An integer is a number with no decimal or fractional part from the set of negative and positive numbers, including zero. The integers formula is a set of rules followed to do the operations of integers. For each operation, the integers formula is different. Yes, a negative number can also be an integer, given that it should not have a decimal or fractional part. For example: Negative numbers: -2, , , etc are all integers. The integers that follow each other in order are called consecutive integers.
For example: Numbers 2,3,4, and 5 are four consecutive integers. For rule for the addition of a positive and negative integer states that the difference between the two integers needs to be calculated in order to find their addition.
The sign of the result will be the same as that of the larger integer of the two. While some rational numbers that either have "1" in their denominator or can be simplified to this form, can be termed as Integers. Whereas, those rational numbers that cannot be simplified to the form of fractions having "1" in their denominator, are non-integers.
Various arithmetic operations can be performed on integers, like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The major properties of integers associated with these different operations are:. The addition of integers using a calculator is the easiest and the quickest method to get the final answers.
To do so check and try Cuemath's Adding Integers Calculator now. It adds any two integers and gives you the sum within a seconds. Enter any integer numbers up to two digits and press add. The application of positive and negative numbers in the real world is different.
They are generally used to represent two contradicting situations. One common real-life application of integers is temperature measurement. The negative and positive numbers and zero in the scale denote different temperature readings. Bank credit and debit statements also use integers to represent the negative or positive values of amount.
