Think about the game!
• When working with negative numbers, think about what it means in the MathGym-1D game.
• Which direction does the answer move something? (Is answer is positive or negative?)
• How far does it move it? (What is the size of the answer? )

What is an Integer?
• The integers are made up of the counting numbers, now called the positive integers: 1, 2, 3, 4, …
• The negative numbers-1, -2, -3, -4, …
• And zero 0

More Words to Learn
• We will use the capital letter Z (from the German word “zahlen”) to denote the set of integers.
• The positive numbers should be written as +1, +2, +3, +4, …, but we usually drop the + as unnecessary.
• The symbols + and – are called the sign of the number.

The Basics
• The game shows that -(-3) = 3, so3 + (-3) = 0 and (-3) + (-(-3)) = 0
• You can see that n + (-n) = 0
for every integer n.• Also
n + 0 = 0 + n = n for every n.

Absolute value• The absolute value or magnitude or
size of a number is how far it moves something, regardless of direction.
• Compute it by dropping the sign.• It is always greater than or equal to 0.

The Number Line• Lay out equally spaced points on a line and
label them with the integers:
• The numbers act just like street addresses, they tell you where to go.
• The arrow points in the positive direction.
• Later we will make up new numbers to give addresses to the other points.
