Yesterday, we have discussed An integer is any number that belongs to
about the set of Integers. Basing the set of positive and negative whole
upon the number line below, can numbers, and zero.
you recall what an integer is?

Can you give examples of integer? -1, -2, -30, 1, 2, 3...

Okay, how much is your daily My parents give me P10.00 allowance

Lets ask Johnny.
Now, suppose Johnny will go to
Marias Store and buy snacks
worth P17.00, how much is left
from his allowance?
Is it good to have plenty of debts?
What are you going to do to avoid
this kind of situation?
How do you write the equation to
arrive at your answer?
Now, do you have any idea about
our lesson for today?

Nothing is left from his allowance.

Instead he has a debt of P7.00

No.
Be thrifty and spend our money wisely.
P10.00 + (-P17.00) = - P7.00
Our lesson for today is about addition of
signed numbers or Addition of Integers.

Presentation

Our lesson for today is about

Addition of Integers.
To illustrate the addition of
integers, let us consider a number
line. What have you observed
from the following illustration?

Integers can be represented by arrows

whose length is the numerical value,
extending to the right if positive and left
if negative.

Example 1: Addition of +3 and +2 =

+2
+3

-10 -9 -8

-7

-6 -5 -4

-3 -2

Commonly written as:

-1

9 10

9 10

9 10

(+3) + (+2) = + 5
3 + 2 = 5

Example 2: Addition of -3 and -2 =

-2
-3

-10 -9 -8

-7

-6 -5 -4

-3 -2

-1

(-3) + (-2) = - 5
Example 3: Addition of +7 and -4 =
-4
+7
-10 -9 -8

-7

-6 -5 -4

-3 -2

-1

(+7) + (-4) = 3

Example 4: Addition of +5 and -10 =

-10
+5
-10 -9 -8

-7

-6 -5 -4

-3 -2

-1

9 10

(+5) + (-10) = -5
Example 5:
Imagine that our temperature in the morning is -2 C and then over the course
of the day, the temperature goes up 7 degrees Celsius. What is the new
temperature?

What is the importance of adding Adding integers or signed numbers

correctly is very important because it is
integers correctly?
very useful in our real life situation.

integers correctly is fundamental and
useful as we move on to the next
lessons in the future.

Now you are going to demonstrate

your skill in adding integers. We

the same time have some fun?
At this time, the pupils who belong to group 1 will be called The Sniper
Kids while the pupils who belong to group 2 will be called The
Sharpshooter Kids. The mechanics of the game are as follows:
1. Each group must have 5 players, taken by drawing lots.
2. Write the names of each player in their respective score board.
3. Decide who will play first by tossing a coin.
4. Have the first player (followed by the second player, and so on) throw
2 darts at a time at the dart board. If the dart hits the white portion, the
corresponding number is positive. If the dart hits the black portion, the
corresponding number is negative. When two darts are already thrown,
the members of each group shall demonstrate their skill by adding the
integers and put their answers on score board.
5. If the dart falls on the floor, the player is only given one chance to throw
the dart.
6. Add the scores of each team. The group having the highest positive score
wins and will receive a special prize.

integers and put their answers on the
score board.)
Now let us see who got the highest
positive score. May I now check
your answers? Ok, the special
price goes to group _______.

Problem Solving.
1. In New York, the temperature was -14F in the morning. If the
temperature dropped 7F, what is the temperature now?
2. Louis was doing a science experiment about temperature. He
first measured the temperature of some water and found it
was17C. Then he put the water in the freezer and recorded the
temperature two hours later. It had fallen to -11C. What was the
change in temperature in two hours?
3. Your mother has a bank balance of P120 at the start of the
month. After the end of the month, she deposits P70. How much is her
new balance?
