Adding Integers (If you’re happy and you know it)

If both signs are positive If the signs are different
Add them up 2x You must subtract 2x
If both signs are positive You look at the greater value
Then the sum is positive The sum will be that sign
If both signs are positive If the signs are different
Add them up You must subtract

If both signs are negative

Add them up 2x
If both signs are negative
Then the sum is negative
1 + 9 = 10
If both signs are negative
Add them up 3

 Remember!
Positive Negative Zero Pair

+ =
(-3) + (-2) = -5

To add two negative integers, just add the two integers

and copy the negative sign of it.
7
 Remember!
Positive Negative Zero Pair

+ =
3 + (-2) = 1

To add positive and negative integers, subtract the two

integers. Copy the sign of the integer with the greater
absolute value.
8
 Remember!
Positive Negative Zero Pair

+ =
(-3) + (2) = -1

To add positive and negative integers, subtract the two

integers. Copy the sign of the integer with the greater
absolute value.

Keep Change Change!
Subtract the following using KCC.
Keep Change Change then use the rules

a) 𝟒 − 𝟕 = 𝟒 + −𝟕 = −𝟑

b) −𝟏 − 𝟗 = −𝟏 + −𝟗 = −𝟏𝟎

c) −𝟑 − −𝟓 = −𝟑 + 𝟓 = 𝟐
