Integers

Integers are the set of whole numbers and their opposites. These numbers are integers ...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

We are practicing comparing integers, finding absolute value, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers (both in class and for homework). We have our first quiz on Wednesday so make sure to study!

Integers are used in many real life situations. We have worked with some in class. Can you name one way integers can be used in real life?
