Activity Summary-adding And Subtracting Negative Numbers

Adding, Subtracting, multiplying, and Dividing Negative and positive numbers Adding and subtracting numbers can really trick me. I knew slightly how to subtract negatives, and I had a little experience with adding a negative and a positive. But I got confused when the lesson started giving problems a little more scrambled and harder. Though after working with adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers together, I got a lot more comfortable. Then the activity got a little more advanced and we had to work on multiplying and dividing integers. Though it really wasn’t as complicated as it seemed, as long as I knew a negative times a positive is a negative and a negative times a negative is a positive. We had to solve problems like 1--5+ (6--4) when I got really comfortable, and I can tell you, the answer to the problem I gave you is 16. I chose this lesson because the lesson was interesting

and a little challenging because we had so many lessons on integers.
