Every Time You
Subtract – Negative
From Your Life, You
Make Room For
More + Positive

An Integer is a whole number that is either greater than zero
( positive numbers) , or lower than zero ( negative numbers). Zero is neither positive or negative . Two integers that are the same distance from zero in opposite directions are called opposites.

Leopold Kronecker
Born: 7 December 1823
Legnica Poland.
Died : December 29,
1891, Berlin, Germany.
Leopold made integers history.
The person who worked with integers is Leopold kronecker. He quoted “ God made integers; the rest is a work of a man”. This quote symbolises that no man created integers, God did and the rest of the work was for a man. Leopold continued the work of Maths and studied integers , number theory and algebra.

Integers apply to our everyday life and are used basically everyday for different things.
Taxation
Taxation forms includes integers because the money is rounded to the nearest dollar.
Dealing with money
The money that you have in your pocket is positive because you own it. The money you owe to someone is negative.
Example: I have $10 in my pocket that is positive but if I owe someone money that is negative.
What did you do today that included the use of integers?

PE!
Integers are used in many subjects and
PE is one of them.
Integers can be used in PE for scoring.
Example: When 2 teams (the A team and the B team) are playing netball. If the score is 20 to 12 and 2 points (-2) have to be taken off the A team, the score is now
18 to 12.

Did you know ? Integers can be used in different subjects! Like science.
Integers are used in different subjects and science is one of them. How are integers used in science? Integers are used in science for measuring the length between planets, line graphs, measurements and diagrams etc.
This picture above shows the collected data of a topic and is presented in a line graphs using integers. 6

- Negative + positive.
What are positive and negative numbers?
A Positive number is really a number without a sign. 6 is really +6.
A Negative number is with a minus sign before it. -6.
What and how to use number lines?
1.Add a positive integer by moving to the right on the number line.
2.Add a negative integer by moving to the left on the number line.
3.Subtract an integer by adding its opposite.
How do you add and subtract integers without number line?
Remember these rules for adding integers: e.g. -6+7= It is actually counting backwards. -5,-4,-
3,-2,
-1,0,1. The answer is 1.
Remember these rules for subtracting integers: e.g. -2-3= You actually counting forwards to negative. -3,-4,-5= The answer is -5.

• When you multiply and diving two integers with the same signs , the result is always positive.
Positive x positive = positive
Negative x negative = positive
Positive ÷ positive = positive
Negative ÷ negative = positive
• When you multiply and dividing two integers with different signs , the result is always negative .
Positive x negative = negative
Negative x positive = negative
Positive ÷ negative = negative
Negative ÷ positive = negative

How do we use number lines?
Number lines help us when we are figuring out a problem. We use them to give us a visual of our working out. The integers on the left side of zero
(0) are called negative numbers, and are represented by a negative sign (−) placed before them. The integers on the right side of 0 are called positive numbers. 10

Answer: 9-(-3)
=9+3=12

3.
Is to make it more fun and action also to look attractive so kids would play it.
4.
Yes because the number line helps you understand and answer the question.
5.
Yes that if you are stuck on a question draw and use a number line.
6.
Yes because students will find it easier to answer integers and how to use the number line.
7.
5.
8.
Showing players that number lines help so the game is informative.
9.
Its not that interesting and fun, it needs more colour and pictures so kids can play it.
