Adding & Subtracting Small Integers
Step Guide
Easy Steps: 1. Start at the 1st number. 2. Add positive (+)? Walk RIGHT . Add negative (-) or subtract? Walk LEFT .
Example -1 + 3 = 2
Start at -1. Move RIGHT 3 jumps:
-1 0 1 2
Problem 1 2 + (-3) =
Start at 2. Walk LEFT 3:
Start: 2 Move: Left 3 Land on: ____
Problem 2 -2 + (-1) =
Start at -2. Walk LEFT 1:
Start: -2 Move: Left 1 Land on: ____
Problem 3 3 - 4 =
Start at 3. Subtracting means go LEFT 4:
Start: 3 Move: Left 4 Land on: ____
Problem 4 -2 - (-3) =
Two minus signs make plus! Rewrite: -2 + 3
Start at -2, walk RIGHT 3
Problem 5 -4 + 4 =
Opposite numbers always cancel to zero!
Sum of opposites = ____

Name:
The Simple Sign Rules (Only for × and ÷)
SAME Signs = POSITIVE (+)
When signs match, answer is plus:
(+) × (+) = + | (-) × (-) = +
-
DIFFERENT Signs = NEGATIVE (-)
When signs differ, answer is minus:
(+) × (-) = - | (-) × (+) = -

Multiply & Divide (Friendly Numbers)
Step 1: Pick Sign • Step 2: Do Math
Model Example
(-2) × 3 = ?
1. Signs: Different → (-)
2. Math: 2 × 3 = 6
Answer: -6
A. (-3) × (-2) =
Signs: [ Same (+) / Diff (-) ]
Answer:
B. 4 × (-2) =
Signs: [ Same (+) / Diff (-) ]
Answer:
C. (-10) ÷ 2 =
Signs: [ Same (+) / Diff (-) ]
Answer:
D. (-8) ÷ (-2) =
Signs: [ Same (+) / Diff (-) ]
Answer:
E. 12 ÷ (-3) =
Signs: [ Same (+) / Diff (-) ]
Answer:

Mixed Review (Check the Symbol!)
Is it + , - , × , or ÷ ?
1. -3 + 5 =
Operation: Plus (+) Start at -3 → Go Right 5
2. (-2) × 4 =
Operation: Times (×) Diff signs → Negative (-)
3. -4 - 1 =
Operation: Minus (-) Start at -4 → Go Left 1
4. (-10) ÷ (-5) =
Operation: Divide (÷) Same signs → Positive (+)
