    The document provides rules and examples for adding and subtracting integers. It explains that the sum of opposites (additive inverses) is always zero. When adding integers with the same sign, keep the sign and add the numbers; when adding integers with different signs, take the sign of the number farther from zero and subtract the numbers. To subtract integers, rewrite the problem by changing the subtraction to addition and changing the number after the subtraction sign to its opposite.

    Adding and Subtracting Integers Worksheet

    Name Period #

    ADDING OPPOSITES:
    When you add opposites the sum is always zero.
    Therefore, opposites are called additive inverses.

    Rules For Addition of Two Integers


    Concept Explanation Examples

    Additive Inverses The sum of an integer and its


    (opposites) opposite is always zero.
    (ZAP)
    The sum of
    2 positive integers is always
    __________________.

    Adding Like Signs The sum of


    2 negative integers is always
    ____________________.
    SAME SIGNS SUM
    (SSS) To add 2 integers with
    the same signs:
    1) Keep the sign and
    2) Add the numerals
    ignoring the signs
    To add 2 integers with
    different signs:
    1) Take the sign from the
    integer which is farther
    Adding Different Signs
    from zero
    (the integer with the
    Different Signs Difference largest absolute value)
    (DSD) 2) Subtract the numerals
    ignoring the signs

    When one addend is zero,


    Adding With Zero the sum is the other addend
    (AZ)
    Circle which method you used (SSS or DSD) and then ADD in the remaining space:
    1) -22 + 57 2) 81 + (-32)

    SSS or DSD SSS or DSD

    3) -11 + (-28) 4) -92 + 41

    SSS or DSD SSS or DSD

    5) -26 + (-16) 6) 145 + (-18)

    SSS or DSD SSS or DSD

    7) 23 + (-11) + 14 + (-20) 8) -1 + 15 + 12 + (-15) + 3

    9) -8 + 14 + (-5) + (-19) + 8 + 25 10) 22 + (-36) + 14 + (-10) + (-17) + 4

    11) -2 + 11 + 16 + (-82) + 5 + (-11) 12) -5 + 4 + (-5) + (-19) + 21 + (-10) + (-4)


    RULE FOR SUBTRACTING INTEGERS:
    TO SUBTRACT INTEGERS…

    ADD THE OPPOSITE!


    You rewrite the problem:
    1) Leave the number before the subtraction exactly the same.
    2) Change the subtraction to addition.
    3) Change the number that follows the subtraction sign to its opposite.
    4) Add by following the rules of addition to get the correct answer.
