How to add integers on a number line
• Place a circle on the number line to represent the first number in the problem
• Since the operation is adding, the second number will tell you how far to move and which direction to move.– A positive second number means you should move to
the right.– A negative second number means you should move to
the left. • The number you end on is the answer.
Example 1
O Model 6 + 3 using a number lineO Start at 6 on the number line. O Move three spaces to the right since 3 is
positive.
Answer: 6+ 3 = 9
+3
Example 2
• Model -6 + 3• Start at -6 on a number line• Move three spaces to the right since 3 is positive.
Answer: -6+ 3 = -3
+3
Example 3
• Model -6 + (-3)• Start at -6 on the number line• Move three spaces to the left since 3 is a negative
number.
Answer: -6+ (-3) = -9
+ -3
Example 4
• Model -5 + 3 on a number line.
Answer: -5 + 3 = -2
+3
Example 5
• Model 3 + (-9) on a number line
Answer: 3 + -9 = -6
+ -9
Example 6
• Model -2 + (-5) on a number line
Answer: -2 + -5 = -7
+ -5
Example 7
• Model 9 + (-12) on a number line
Answer: 9 + -12 = -3
+ -12
Example 8
• Model 5 + (-9) on a number line
Answer: 5 + -9 = -4
+ -9
Example 9
• Model -7 + 5 on a number line
Answer: -7 + 5 = -2

Example 10
• Model 4 + (-4) on a number line
Answer: 4 + -4 = 0
