Welcome, everyone! Let's start by discussing how we visualize integers on a number line. Can someone tell me where we place zero?
Zero is in the middle of the number line!
Exactly! Positive integers go to the right of zero, and negative integers go to the left. Now, who can give me an example of a positive and a negative integer?
Positive 3 and negative 2!
Great! Remember, the farther from zero you are, the larger the absolute value. Can anyone think of how this relates to real-world situations?
Like temperatures? Zero degrees is freezing, and negative numbers mean below freezing!
Exactly! Understanding integers in this way helps us with real-world scenarios. Remember: 'Left for less, right for more!' to visualize their positions.
Addition of Integers

Now that we understand where integers lie, let's explore addition. What happens when we add integers with the same sign?
We add their absolute values and keep the sign!
Correct! For example, 4 + 3 = 7 and -4 + (-3) = -7. What about adding integers with different signs?
We subtract their absolute values?
Right, and the sign is determined by the number with the larger absolute value. Can someone show me an example?
Sure! 5 + (-3) equals 2 because 5 is greater.
Well done! Remember: 'Same sign adds, different sign subtracts!' keeps it easy to remember.

Moving on to subtraction, who can tell me the Keep-Change-Opposite rule?
You keep the first number, change the subtraction to addition, and change the sign of the second number!
Exactly! Let's say we have 7 - 4. What would we do?
We keep 7, change to plus, and -4 becomes +4, so 7 + (-4) = 3!
Perfect! When subtracting, you can apply this rule to simplify your calculations. Now, who can provide a more complex example?
How about 5 - (-3)?
Nice one! What do we get?
Using the rule, itโs 5 + 3, which equals 8!
Well done! Remember this rule helps prevent mistakes while doing operations!
Multiplication and Division Rules

Letโs talk about multiplication and division next! Who can tell me the rules for signs?
If both signs are the same, the answer is positive, but if they are different, it's negative!
Exactly! What is -3 multiplied by -2?
That would be positive 6!
Right! Now, what about 4 divided by -2?
That's negative 2!
Excellent! Remember: 'Same signs multiply to a positive; different signs multiply to a negative!' This makes the rules easier to remember.
Order of Operations

Finally, we need to discuss the order in which we perform operations. Can anyone explain PEMDAS?
That's Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction!
Great! And why is it so important?
It ensures we get the right answer by performing operations in the correct sequence!
Exactly! For example, in the expression 2 + 3 ร 4, what should we do first?
We should multiply first, so itโs 3 ร 4 = 12, then add 2 to get 14.
Well said! Remembering PEMDAS will help you avoid mistakes in calculations. Always respect the order of operations!
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
This section delves into the classification of the Real Number System, emphasizing the distinction between rational and irrational numbers, and explores the properties and operations of integers. Students will learn about visualizing integers on a number line, adding and subtracting integers, and the rules governing these operations.
Detailed
The Real Number System
The Real Number System encompasses all numbers that can be found on the number line. It is classified primarily into rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers are those that can be expressed as a fraction, whereas irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a precise fraction and include examples like ฯ and โ2. In this section, we focus on integers, which are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero. We will cover the operations on integers, their visualization on the number line, and critical rules for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Understanding these concepts lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical operations, ensuring students can logically and precisely represent and manipulate quantities in real-world scenarios.
