## Unit checklist
Work through every section below, then take the final exam quiz.
Positive and Negative Numbers
Integers include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. They model situations like temperature above and below zero, elevation, and debt. On a number line, numbers increase to the right and decrease to the left.
Absolute Value
Absolute value is the distance from zero on a number line, always written as a positive number. |−7| = 7 and |7| = 7. Opposites are the same distance from zero on opposite sides, like 5 and −5.
Adding and Subtracting Integers
Adding a negative moves left on the number line. Subtracting is the same as adding the opposite: 5 − (−3) = 5 + 3. When signs match, add absolute values and keep the sign. When signs differ, subtract absolute values and keep the sign of the larger.
Multiplying and Dividing
Same signs give a positive product or quotient. Different signs give a negative result. Any number times zero is zero. These rules extend to expressions with multiple operations and parentheses.
FAQ
- Do students need a number line?
- A number line helps visualize operations, but questions are written so students can reason without one.
- Is this a prerequisite for algebra?
- Yes. Integer fluency is essential before solving equations with negative coefficients and constants.
