Introduction to Integer Subtraction
Get started with integer subtraction: learn what it means to subtract positive and negative numbers, and see the number line and add-the-opposite methods.
What You'll Learn
Define what it means to subtract one integer from another, including negative results.
Apply the add-the-opposite rule to rewrite any subtraction as an addition problem.
Use a number line to model integer subtraction as a leftward or rightward jump.
Recognize how subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive one.
Avoid common sign errors by checking direction on the number line before finishing a problem.
What You'll Practice
1
Writing subtraction statements from visual diagrams with colored circles
2
Finding two differences between pairs of positive and negative integers
3
Solving word problems about money, chocolate bars, and borrowing
4
Determining missing values in incomplete subtraction equations
Why This Matters
Integer subtraction is essential for understanding positive and negative numbers in real life, from tracking money you owe or earn to measuring temperature changes and elevation differences. Mastering this skill prepares you for algebra, where you'll work with variables and solve complex equations.
