INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERSWe can represent integers using red and

yellow counters.

Red circles will represent negative integers, and yellow circles will represent positive integers.

The University of Texas at Dallas

Negative integer Positive integer

Zero PairIf we add one red and one yellow together

what do they equal?

0!!! So we call them a zero pair.

ADDING INTEGERSUse your red and yellow tiles to find each

sum.

-2 + -3 = ?

The University of Texas at Dallas

ANSWER

+ = -5

-2 + -3 = -5
