Learning Target:
I can solve integer subtraction problems by rewriting them as addition problems.


In class:
Review homework

The rule for solving integer subtraction problem:

SUBTRACTING an INTEGER is the same as ADDING it's OPPOSITE

Examples:
  • Subtracting 2 is the same as adding a negative 2
  • – 2    is the same as  + (–2)
  • 8 –10 becomes 8 + (–10)
