Keep the 1st number exactly as it is.
CHANGE
Change subtraction − to addition +.
CHANGE
Change the 2nd number to its opposite!
Worked Example 2 − 6 → Rewrite as: 2 + (−6) = −4
Start at +2 • Hop 6 spaces LEFT • Land on −4
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7
4 4 − 7 Rewrite: 4 + (−7)
Answer:
Start at: +4
Move: LEFT 7
Land at: ______
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7
5 −3 − 3 Rewrite: (−3) + (−3)
Answer:
Start at: −3
Move: LEFT 3
Land at: ______
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7
6 −1 − (−5) Rewrite: (−1) + (+5)
Answer:
Start at: −1
Move: RIGHT 5
