Topic Operation on Integers

Lesson Title Adding and Subtracting Integers

PRAYER
Lord, thank You for all the blessing that You have given to me and to my family. Thank You
for making me feel the love of my parents, friends, and teachers in order to make me do my best in
everything that I do. Lord, I ask You to continue supporting me as I worked on this module about
Adding and Subtracting. Help me in learning my lessons so that my teacher’s effort will paid off. I ask
this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

INTRODUCTION

Numbers play an important role in our daily life. Almost all the things we do in our life involves
numbers and mathematics such as buying goods using money, your weight and height, number of
people who liked your post, number of chapters of your favorite story in Wattpad, channel of your favorite
show, and number of pages of your books. However, before anyone can understand and use
mathematics, the clear concept of numbers must be necessary.

In this lesson, we will strengthen your skills in four fundamental operations involving integers.
Furthermore, as you go along this module, you will have to explore the answers to the following questions:

• How do we add and subtract integers?

• What real-life scenarios can we integrate the latter operations?

Learning targets

Learning Competency:
At the end of the topic, I can:

✓ Performs fundamental operation on integers

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, I can:

1. Operationally define integers.

2. Enumerate the rules in adding and subtracting integers.
3. Use the rules in adding and subtracting integers to simply/combine integers.
4. Solve words problems that involves, adding and subtracting integers.

What is an Integer?

Integers

An integer is a number with no decimal or fraction part and it includes negative and
positive numbers, including zero. A few examples of integers are -5, 0, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,034.
A set of integers, which is represented as Z, includes:

• Positive Numbers: a number is positive if it is greater than zero. 1, 2, 3, …

• Negative Numbers: A number is negative if it is less than zero. Example: -1, -2, -3, …
• Zero is defined as neither a negative number nor a positive number. It is a whole
number.

Learning Task 2:
Let’s Color!

Now let us go deeper in real numbers. Let us focus first on integers and
embellish the figure at the right side by coloring it. Before that, see first the example
below and for more examples, watch the video from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BgblvF90UE or scan the provided QR code.
After watching, just follow the instruction below and let’s start adding and
subtracting integers.

INSTRUCTION:

Add or subtract the integers found next page.

The integers on the figure are answers from the EXAMPLES:
equations below. Color the designated area of your 3+2=5 −2 + (−5) = −7
answer and write your answer on the space provided. −7 + 5 = −2 5 + (−3) = 2
The first question is already done for you. Note: Please
5−2=3 −3 − (−10) = 7
−5 − 4 = −9 12 − (−2) = 14
do not use calculator. Answer it manually. You are

What is it?

Rules in Adding Integers

1. Addition of integers with the same sign.

In adding integers with the same sign, add their absolute values. Then affix to the
sum, the common sign.
2. Addition of integers with different signs.
In adding integers with different signs. Subtract their absolute value. Then affix to
the difference, the sign of the addend having the greater absolute value.

UNIT 2: REAL NUMBERS 4

Illustrative Example 1: Give the sum. Illustrative Example 2: Give the sum.

a. 27 + 41 a. -65 +87
b. -39 + (-56) b. 79 + (-90)

Solution: Solution:

a. The addends have the same sign. Use the rule a. The addends have different signs. Use rule 2.
1. The common sign is +.
|−65|= 65 and |87| =87
27 + 41 = + (|27| + |41|)
=+(27 + 41) 87-65 =22
= +68 (or simply 68)
Since 87 has greater absolute value than -65, affix the
b. The addends have the same sign. Use the rule positive sign to the difference of their absolute values.
1. The common sign is -. Therefore,
-39 +(-56) = -(|−39| + |−56|)
-65+87 = +22 (or simply 22)
= - (39 + 56)
= -95 b. the addends have different signs. Use rule 2.

|79| = 79 and |−90| = 90

90 – 79 = 11

Since -90 has greater absolute value than 79, affix the
negative sign to the difference of their absolute
values. Therefore,

79 + (-90) = -11

What’s more?

Rules in Subtracting Integers

In subtracting an integer from another integer, add the opposite of the subtrahend
to the minuend.

Illustrative Example 3:

Subtract 12 from 8

Solution

The minuend is 8 and the subtrahend is 12. Write the subtraction problem, then rewrite it as an addition problem.

8-12 = 8+ (-12)

Then, apply the rule in adding integers having different signs.

8 + (-12) = - 4

Therefore,

8-12 = -4

UNIT 2: REAL NUMBERS 5

1. 92 + (-64) = _______
2. -66 + (-49) = ______

Learning Task 3: Life Story

In this part of the worksheet, you are expected to apply what you have learned into real-life situations.

Was it easy? Before we pursue for the next two operations of integers, let us have one more learning task, which
is a short story about a man named John. Let us read his story and find out how much was left on his monthly
income,

Instruction: Fill in the blanks at the right side with integer equation that matches in each
line/paragraph the story of John. Solve all the equations to see how much was left with John’s
monthly income. The first three sentences were already solved for you, just do the rest. Good luck!

John owed his brother ₱1000. −1000

He woke up early to go to work. Eat breakfast.

On his way, he saw ₱20. −1000 + 20 = −980

It was really a lucky day because his coworker, Jeremy, pays him ₱418
for his face shield and mask order. −980 + 418 = −582

On his work in a salon, John got ₱250 tip from his regular customer
In doing her hair and nails.

UNIT 2: REAL NUMBERS 6

During lunch break, he bought a rice meal in a restaurant for ₱100
But got devastated when he found out that the drink is not included so
he bought Coca-Cola for ₱37. To save money he decided to bring his
own lunch for the next days.
A couple days later, his grandfather sent him money for his
birthday for ₱1500.

Since it was his birthday, he bought a cake cost ₱650, pancit

for ₱160 and 1.5 liters soft drink that cost ₱75.

In the middle of the month, John forgot his lunch and had to buy it.
Lunch cost ₱112 this time.

Late in the month. John got in a motorcycle accident. Glad it was just a
minor injury. Just a scratch in his knee and arm. Because the accident
was not his fault and he was just a victim. For settlement he was paid
for ₱6,500 but payed the hospital bill for ₱6,322 all in all.

Two days before his salary, he didn’t expect that his orders for his mini
shop came early. He borrow ₱3,698 to his mother and promise to pay it
if he gets his paycheck.

Finally, John got his monthly paycheck for ₱13,700.

“Yes!” He thought, “I am finally out of debt” He put ₱8,500 in his pocket.
The rest on his wallet.

Unfortunately, he dropped his wallet and never found it again.

How much did John end his month with?

Great job! Now you knew already the rules in adding and subtracting integers,
I hope you can now add or subtract integers without using calculators. In order for
you to memorize the rules in adding and subtracting integers easily, I want you to
watch the video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYHjT0m_iyQ by scanning the
QR code at the right side. Integer song
