Negative Integers Positive Integers

Integers
Integers are all of the positive and negative
whole numbers.
There are no fractions or decimals that are
integers.
Absolute Value
• Absolute value of a number
Example:
is the DISTANCE to ZERO.
1.) ¿ 4
• Distance cannot be negative,
so the absolute value cannot 2.) ¿3
be negative. 3.) ¿0
• The absolute value of a
number n is written as |𝑛|.
units units
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Absolute Value
Evaluate the absolute value:
Ask yourself, how far is the number from zero?
1) | -4 | =
2) | 3 | =
3) | -9 | =
4) | 8 - 3 | + =
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Absolute Value
Evaluate the absolute value:
Ask yourself, how far is the number from zero?
1) | 12 ÷ -4 | =
2) | 3 ● 15 | =
3) | -9 + 1 | - │1 + 2│ =
4) | 8 - 3 | + │20 - 20│=
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Opposites
• Two numbers that have the same ABSOLUTE VALUE,
but different signs are called opposites.
Example -6 and 6 are opposites because both are 6 units
away from zero.
| -6 | = 6 and | 6 | = 6
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Opposites
What is the opposite?
1) -10
2) -35
3) 12
4) 100
5) 1
6) X
Using Absolute Value in Real Life
• The graph shows the position of a diver
relative to sea level. Use absolute value
to find the diver’s distance from the
surface.
Graphing Integers on a number line
1) Draw a number line
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
2) Graph an Integer by drawing a dot at the point that
represents the integer.
Example: -6, -2, and 3
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Graphing Integers on a number line
1) Graph -7, 0, and 5
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Order Integers from Least to Greatest
• You need to know which numbers are bigger or smaller than others, so we need to order
them from least to greatest.
Example:
Order the integers -4, 0, 5, -2, 3, -3 from least to greatest.
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Order Integers from least to greatest
1) Order the integers 4,-2,-5,0,2,-1 from least to greatest.
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
2) Order the integers 3,4,-2,-5,1,-7 from least to greatest.
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
