LET’S
DISCOVER
From 0 degrees Celsius, the
temperature increased by 5 degrees
in the morning. In the evening, it
decreased by 10 degrees. How can
we represent these values using
integers?
DEFINITION OF
INTEGERS
Integers consist of all positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers
and zero.

-3, -5, 0, 1, 7, and 18 are 1.6, ½, 5%, and -2.43 are


integers. not integers.

and zero.

-3, -5, 0, 1, 7, and 18 are


integers.

Negative integers: 0 is neither positive or Positive integers:

PLOTTING INTEGERS
ON A NUMBER LINE
Locate the corresponding point to the left or to the right of 0.

Example: Plot 4 on the number line.

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Because 4 is positive, we plot 4 units to the right of 0.
PLOTTING INTEGERS
ON A NUMBER LINE
Locate the corresponding point to the left or to the right of 0.

Example: Plot -2 on the number line.

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

Because -2 is negative, we plot 2 units to the left of 0.


LET’S TRY

decreased by 10 degrees. How can
we represent these values using
integers?
