Key concepts students will learn:

  • When adding a positive number, you are essentially just adding, so two plus signs can be changed to a single addition sign.

  • When subtracting a negative number, you are actually just adding, so you can change the two minus signs to an addition sign.

  • When the signs next to each other are the same, we add; when the signs next to each other are different, we subtract.
