OBJECTIVES
: A. Add integers using algebra tiles
and the rules
B. Solve simple word problems
involving the addition of integers
THE TALE OF
ADDITION
Long, long ago, and very far
away, two villages existed. In the
first village lived the
POSITIVES. They were integers
who worked hard and cooperated
to get along well. They liked
themselves very much!
On the other side of the forest
lived the NEGATIVES. Like the
positives, the negatives also
worked hard, cooperated with
each other and liked themselves
very much.
Every morning, integers from each village would
enter the forest to hunt. Sometimes, the positives
would meet up with other positives, then they
would happily join forces for the hunt.
3 positives + 3 positives = 6 positives

Likewise, sometimes, the negatives would
meet up with other negatives. Then, they too,
would happily join forces for their hunt.
3 negatives + 2 negatives = 5 negatives

That is, positives and positives join forces. In the
same way, negatives and negatives join forces.
This has always been and always would be the
way of things. Everything was always beautiful
and peaceful within the integer villages. Peaceful
that is until the positives and negatives crossed
paths. Then – things would quickly take a deadly
turn!
Whenever a positive met up with a negative, it
was an ugly and very bloody battle. It was a battle
to the death in which each combatant would
ultimately and tragically give his life.
You see, during the battle, each pair of
combatants would “cancel” each other. For
example
(+7) + (-2) = +5
Since there are 5 more positives than negatives, the positives would claim
victory with 5 survivors.
Yes, a tragic story indeed. Yet, it is through their
tale of happiness and sorrow that you have been
given the knowledge of integer addition. Never
forget: The integers will either fight or join
forces. Now you know the truth! And so it is that
we conclude the bittersweet tale of the story of
the Integers.

Rules in
Adding
Integers
Rule 1:
When the integers have like
signs, add the numbers and
copy the common positive
sign
Rule 1:
When the integers have like signs, add the numbers
and copy the common positive sign
EXAMPLE: Notice that 8 is positive and 5

is also positive, they have like
signs. So add 8 and 5 then
8 +5=13 copy the common positive

sign. Therefore the answer is
positive 13 or 13
Rule 1:
EXAMPLE: Notice that 10 is negative

and 9 is also negative,
they have like signs. So,
(−10)+ ( −9 ) =−19 add 10
and 9 then copy the
common negative sign.
Therefore, the answer is
negative 19 or -19.
Rule 1:
TRY IT!
2 1+12= 33
1 9+7=26
Rule 1:
TRY IT!
( −12 ) + (− 10 ) =−22
( −25 ) + ( − 4 )=− 29
Rule 2:
When the integers have unlike
signs, subtract the numbers
and use the sign of the
number with the greater
absolute value.
Rule 2:
When the integers have unlike signs, subtract the numbers
and use the sign of the number with the greater absolute
value.
EXAMPLE: Notice that 2 is negative

while 4 is positive, they
have unlike signs. So,
( − 2 )+ 4= 2 subtract 2 from 4 then

copy the sign of 4 since it
has the greater absolute
value. Therefore the
answer is positive 2 or 2.
Rule 2:
When the integers have unlike signs, subtract the numbers
and use the sign of the number with the greater absolute
value.
TRY IT!
38+ ( −20 )=18

− 42+16=− 26
PROBLEM
