When you add or subtract integers, pay close attention to whether theyare positive or negative.

Add and Subtract Integers

Name Date3 Watson, Irvine, CA 92618

Phone (888) SDL-BACK www.sdlback.com

When you add negative integers, the sum is negative.

When you add integers with different signs, subtract the integer withthe smaller absolute value from the integer with the larger absolute value.

When you subtract integers, change the sign of the second integer, then add.

Directions: Find the sum or difference.

Name Date3 Watson, Irvine, CA 92618

Phone (888) SDL-BACK www.sdlback.com

Directions: Identify the addition property.Write C for Commutative, A forAssociative, or Z for Zero.

The Commutative Property states that the order in which numbersare added does not change the sum.

65 + 17 = 82 17 + 65 = 82

According to the Associative Property, the grouping of numbers doesnot affect the sum.

36 + (29 + 160) = 225 (36 + 29) + 160 = 225

The Zero Property states that adding zero to a number does notchange that number.

673 + 0 = 673 0 + 1,497 = 1,497

1 . ____ 436 + 297 = 297 + 436 ____ 0 + 4,320 = 4,320

Adding two positive fractions results in a positive sum.

Adding two negative fractions results in a negative sum.

When subtracting fractions with like signs, change the sign of thesmaller fraction and then add.

When subtracting fractions with different signs, find the differenceand use the sign of the larger fraction.

The signs of the fractions affect whether the sum or difference is positiveor negative.

Identify Angles

1 . If two angles are complementary and the first angle measures 25°, what is themeasure of the second angle?

2 . If two angles are vertical angles and the first angle measures 38°, what is themeasure of the second angle?

3 . If the first angle of two supplementary angles measures 75°, what is themeasure of the second angle?

4 . Jonathan said that two adjacent angles always total 90°. Is Jonathan correct?Explain your answer.

5 . Can all 4 angles formed by 2 intersecting lines have the same measure?Explain your answer.

6 . Are all vertical angles complementary? Explain your answer.

Two angles that total 180°are supplementary.

Two angles that total 90°are complementary.

When 2 lines intersect, the angles opposite each other (angles 2 and 4and 1 and 3) are called vertical angles. Vertical angles always have thesame measure as each other.

Angles 2 and 3 and 1 and 4 are next to each other and are adjacentangles. Adjacent angles total 180°.

Likelihood of Events

Some events are impossible: Pulling a green marble from a bagcontaining only blue marbles is impossible.

Some events are certain: It is certain that the students in a class willbe either boys or girls.

Some events are likely: Rolling a 6 on a die if it is tossed 50 times islikely to happen.

Some events are unlikely: feeling hungry after eating a big breakfastis unlikely.

Directions: Tell whether the event is certain, unlikely, impossible,or likely.

The mode is the number occurring most often. The mode is 48.

To find the mean (average), add the numbers and divide the sum bythe number of addends. The mean is 41.

The median is the number in the middle. The median number is 42.

If there are an even number of numbers, add the two middlenumbers and divide by 2 to find the median.
