📘 Part 1: Key Ideas

What are integers? Integers are whole numbers and their negatives: ... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ... They do not include fractions or decimals.

Number line tips: Put 0 in the centre. Move right for positive numbers (increase), move left for negative numbers (decrease). To add, start at the first number and move right or left depending on the second number's sign. To subtract, remember subtracting a positive moves left; subtracting a negative moves right.
