numbers is like driving in traffic.
You have to watch the traffic signs
and follow the driving rules.

positive sign in front of a

Integer Addition Rules


Rule #1 If the signs are the same,
pretend the signs arent there. Add
the numbers and then put the sign of
the addends in front of your answer.

9 + 5 = 14
-9 + -5 = -14

Solve the Problems


-3 + -5 =
-8
11
4+7=
(+3) + (+4) = 7
-13
-6 + -7 =
14
5+9=
-18
-9 + -9 =

Integer Addition Rules


Rule #2 If the signs are different
pretend the signs arent there.
Subtract the smaller from the larger
one and put the sign of the larger one
in front of your answer.

-9 + +5 =
9 - 5 = 4 Answer = - 4

Larger number

Solve These Problems


5 3 = 2 -2
3 + -5 =
3
74=3
-4 + 7 =
(+3) + (-4) = 4 3 = 1 -1

-6 + 7 =
5 + -9 =
-9 + 9 =

76=1
95=4
99=0
