Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles 4 + (-5) = ? Imagine you have exactly five dollars (5) and you owe your friend exactly five dollars (-5). When you pay your debt, you no longer have the five (0), but you also do not owe your friend any money (0). 5 + (-5) = ? Zero Pairs So 5 + (-5) = 0 1 + (-1) = -2 + 2 = -7 + 7 = 10 + (-10) = -53.4 + 53.4 = Practice Adding Opposites (Making Zero Pairs): Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles zero pairs 4 + (-5) = Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles 6 + (-2) zero pairs Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles -9 + 3 = zero pairs Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles -6 + 7 = zero pairs Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles -6 + (-5) = No zero pairs! Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles 4 + 7 = No zero pairs! Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles -4 + (-8) = No zero pairs! Adding Integers Using Algebra Tiles 4 + 5 = No zero pairs! |
