Students will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to:
6.6 a) add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers
6.6 b) solve practical problems involving operations with integers;
6.6 c) simplify numerical expressions involving integers.*
Unit 04: Integer Operations
Key Vocabulary
Properties - a characteristic of an operation or a number
commutative property of addition - you can swap numbers around and still get the same answer when you add. 6 + 3 = 3 + 6
commutative property of multiplication - you can swap numbers around and still get the same answer when you multiply. 2 × 4 = 4 × 2
associative property of addition - When adding it doesn't matter how we group the numbers.
associative property of multiplication - When multiplying it doesn't matter how we group the numbers.
distributive property (over addition/subtraction) - When multiplying a number by a group of numbers, that are being added together, is the same as doing each multiplication separately.
3(2 + 4) = 3 × 2 + 3 × 4
identity property of addition (additive identity property) - Adding the number zero doesn't change anything.
identity property of multiplication (multiplicative identity property) - Multiplying by the number one doesn't change anything.
inverse property of addition (additive inverse property) - adding the opposite of a number gives you zero.
multiplicative property of zero - multiplying by zero give you zero.
substitution property of equality - if something is equal to something else, you can replace one thing with another.
inverse operations - It reverses the given operation. For example, the inverse of addition is subtraction.
reciprocal - multiplying by the reciprocal will equal 1. For example 2 x 1/2 = 1. The reciprocal is also called the multiplicative inverse.
