Hi,

Today we are going to learn how to add integers.Adding integers is kind of tricky and confusing but I will show you how to do it.Adding integers means that you have to do problems like -9+8=?.The answer to that would be -1.When adding you must go up, but when you adding integers you must go down and then up.When you count negative numbers you count 5,4,3,2,1,0,-1,2,-3,-4,-5 and so on.See that you count up on negative numbers even though you are going down. So when you are adding you go down and then up. Do you get it?Answer on the side bar pool.

Lets do some examples.-5+9=?.So first we count down 9.-4,-3,-2,-1,0.Now we go up,But first we have to find out how many we have counted so far.We have counted 5.Now we count up 4.1,2,3,4.The answer is four.
