absolute value
of units/distance a number is from 0 on number line
absolute value symbol: | |
|-3|= 3
adding integers w/ the same sign
add numbers together & keep the sign
7 + 4 = 11 -2+-3= -5
adding integers w/ different signs
subtract numbers & keep the sign of the larger number
-7 + 2 = -5
changing subtraction to addition
-8-(-7)
change subtraction sign outside parentheses to positive change sign of # inside parentheses to its opposite
-8-(-7) = -8+(7) = -1
subtracting integers
3 - (-10)
change subtraction sign to plus 3 + (-10)
change sign of # following subtraction sign to opposite 3+10
rounding
4 - = down
5+ = up
When multiplying integers w/ the same sign, answer will be + or - ?
positive
9 x 12 = 108
-7 x -5 = 35
When multiplying integers w/ different signs, answer will be + or - ?
negative
-8 (9) = -72
When dividing integers w/ different signs, answer will be + or - ?
negative
-63 / 9 = -7
When dividing integers w/ the same sign, answer will be + or - ?
positive
-7 ÷ -5 = 35
24 ÷ 12 = 2

perimeter
outside measurement of flat surfaces

Find the perimeter of a square postage stamp if one side is 22mm.
P = 4s
P = 4(22)
P = 88 mm
How can you find the perimeter of a square?
side + side + side + side
P = 4 side
P = 4s
How can you find the perimeter of a rectangle?
length + length + width + width
P = 2(length) + 2(width)
P = 2L + 2W
Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length of 18 in. and width of 7 in.
P = 2L + 2W
P= 2(18) + 2(7)
P= 36 + 14
P= 50in
the amount of surface inside a flat shape is
area
How can you find the area of a rectangle?
length x width
A= lw
How can you find the area of a square?
side x side
A= s2
How can you find the area of a parallelogram?
(no right angles or unequal sides)
base x height
A= bh
Find the area of a rectangle with a length of 12 feet and a width of 11 feet.
A= lw
A= 12(11)
A= 132ft
