Integers. Intro

The document provides an overview of integers, defining them as whole numbers and their opposites, including positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. It explains the significance of integers in real-world contexts, such as elevation and financial transactions, and illustrates how to represent these situations using number lines. Additionally, it includes examples and exercises to help understand the application of integers in various scenarios.

Lesson LT:NS.5 -1. I can identify an integer and its opposite. 2. I can use
integers to represent quantities in real world situations (above/below sea
level, etc.). 3. I can explain where zero fits into a situation
represented by integers.
Integers are defined as the set of
whole numbers and their
opposites.

Integers include:
Positive numbers, also called the
counting numbers, (1,2,3,4, . . .)
Their opposites, negative
numbers,
(-1,-2,-3,. . .)
And zero, which is neither
positive nor negative.
Negative integers have values less
than zero, are to the left of zero on the
number line and are always shown with
a minus (-) sign.
Positive integers have values greater
than zero, are to the right of zero on
the number line, and usually are not
shown with their sign (+).
Integers are represented by small
slashes on the number lines, and do
not include the fractional or decimal
numbers in between the slashes.
Number lines can be either horizontal
or vertical.
So… why do we need negative and
positive integers?
You can use integers to describe
opposite situations. For example:
Positive Integers
Negative Integers
Depositing money in a Withdrawing money
checking account from a checking
Elevation above sea account
level An elevation below sea
Any temperature level
above zero Below zero
Yardage gained in temperatures
football Yardage lost in football
Example 1
A sea gull is flying 25 feet above
sea level and a shark is swimming
10 feet below sea level.

1) What elevation does the surface


of the water represent?

2) What is the elevation of the


bird?

3) What is the elevation of the


fish?
What is the What is the
temperature on this temperature on this
thermometer? thermometer?
Let’s try some…
Write the number that best represents each
statement:

It is 6 degrees warmer than yesterday.


I lost $2.00 through a hole in my pocket
The price was reduced by $12.
I improved my mark by 16.
The building is 312 meters tall.
My sister is three years younger than me.
We cut 9 inches off the timber plank.
I made of profit of $180.00.
I will increase my exercise by 25 minutes each day
Let’s go up 10 flights of stairs.
