Bell Work:
Draw a number line and use directed numbers (arrows) to add the signed numbers. Then state the answer.
(-5) + (+2) + (-3) + (+3)

-3Slide3
Lesson 6:
Rules for Addition, Adding More Than Two Numbers, Inserting Parentheses Mentally, and Definition of SubtractionSlide4
In the previous lesson we learned to add signed numbers by using a number line and arrows to represent the numbers. This method however can be slow and time consuming. In this lesson we will learn two rules to make this process a lot faster.Slide5
Use directed numbers and the number line to add +1 and +3 algebraically, and use directed numbers and the number line to add -1 and -3 algebraically. Slide6
We find that
(+1) + (+3) = +4
And
(-1) + (-3) = -4
Now we can generalize rule #1.Slide7
Rule #1: To add algebraically two signed numbers that have the same sign, we add the absolute values of the numbers and give the result the same sign as the sign of the numbers. Slide8
Use directed numbers and the number line to add -2 and +5 algebraically, and use directed numbers and the number line to add +2 and -5 algebraically.Slide9
We find that
(-2) + (+5) = +3
And
(+2) + (-5) = -3
Now we can generalize rule #2.Slide10
Rule #2: to add algebraically two signed numbers that have opposite signs, we take the difference in the absolute values of the numbers and give to this result the sign of the original number whose absolute value is the greatest. Slide11
When two numbers have the same absolute value but different signs, their sum is zero.
For example, the sum of
(-5) + (+5) = 0Slide12
For every real number except zero, there is an opposite, and the sum of any real number and its opposite is zero. This is called the additive inverse of the number.
Additive Inverse*:The sum of any number and its opposite is zero. Slide13
Adding more than two numbers: Signed numbers maybe added in any order and the answer will not change.
Some people add from left to right, and others begin by first adding numbers that have the same sign.Slide14
Add using left to right:
(-5) + (+4) + (-3) + (+2)
(-1) + (-3) – (+2)
(-4) + (+2)
= -2Slide15
Add by first adding numbers with like signs:
(-3) + (+2) + (-2) + (+4)
(-5) + (+6)
= +1Slide16
Inserting parenthesis mentally:
Most signed number problems are written without parentheses enclosing the signed numbers. We must insert the parentheses mentally before we can add.Slide17
We will let the sign preceding the number designate whether the number is a positive number or a negative number, and we will mentally insert a plus sign in front of each number to indicate algebraic addition.Slide18
If we use this process,
4 – 3 + 2
Can be read as
(+4) + (-3) + (+2)Slide19
Caution!
Care must be used to avoid associating the signs with the wrong numbers. If the mental
parenthesese
are not used, some would incorrectly read the expression,
3 – 2 + 6
As
6 plus 2 minus 3Slide20
Definition of Subtraction:
As we have seen, if we use algebraic addition, we can handle minus signs without using the word subtraction. We let the signs tell whether the numbers are positive or negative, and we mentally insert parentheses and extra plus signs as necessary. Slide21
Example:
7 – 4 = 3
Would be expressed as
7 + (-4) = 3
This turns a subtraction problem into an algebraic addition problem. Slide22
Algebraic Subtraction*: If a and b are real numbers, then
a – b = a + (-b).Slide23
Practice:
Use parentheses to enclose each number or expression and its sign. Then insert plus signs between the parentheses. Then add to get a sum.
-5 – 2 + 7 – 6 Slide24
Answer:
-5 – 2 + 7 – 6
(-5) + (-2) + (+7) + (-6)
(-7) + (+7) + (-6)
(0) + (-6)
= -6 Slide25
Practice:
-4 – I-2l – 6 + (-5)Slide26
Answer:
-4 – l-2l – 6 + (-5)
-4 – (+2) – 6 + (-5)
(-4) + (-2) + (-6) + (-5)
(-6) + (-6) + (-5)
(-12) + (-5)
= -17 Slide27
