My grandson is having problems with math can anyone explain integers to me please.?

Answer 1

well intergers or real easy all u have to is lets say we have
ex. -1+2= 1
all u have to do is say u have 2 and u owe 1 so now u only have 1 so the answer will be 1
negatives is how much u owe and positives is how much u have there is always this sign(-)that shows its a negative.and this sign that shows its a positive(+)or it could just be a regular number
ex.-4-+6=2
remember 4 is wat u owe and 6 is wat u have so is u have 6 and owe 4 the out come wil be 2 beacause u are left ith 2 more.u dont have to worry about the add and subtract sign between them. just worry about how much u have and how much u owe.

Answer 2

Counting numbers is the easiest explanation. They are whole numbers not including zero (1, 2, 3). Negative integers are the same thing, just negative. (-1, -2, -3).


See if this helps...
Positive and Negative Integers
Positive integers are all the whole numbers greater than zero: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... . Negative integers are all the opposites of these whole numbers: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, … . We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number. For each positive integer, there is a negative integer, and these integers are called opposites. For example, -3 is the opposite of 3, -21 is the opposite of 21, and 8 is the opposite of -8. If an integer is greater than zero, we say that its sign is positive. If an integer is less than zero, we say that its sign is negative.

Answer 3

It kinda simple really. Integers are just whole #'s. Positive intergers are numbers above 0. Negative intergers are numbers below.
Here are some examples
-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I'm pretty okay w/ math. If u need anymore help e-mail me @ [e-mail]. I dont have a good computer @ home so i might not be able to get to back to you that fast. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Integers are whole numbers

Positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....

Negative integers are: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5....

Zero is not positive or negative

The integer is greater Than Zero,, The sigh is positive

Tfhe integer is less than zero, the sign is negative

Answer 5

Integers are composed of 0, the counting nos.(1,2,3,4...) and the opposite/inverse of counting nos.(-1.-2,-3,-4...). You can also say that these are 0, together with the signed numbers that are whole. Meaning, all signed decimal numbers and fractions greater or less than whole numbers or radical numbers that do not have exact roots are not integers. -1/2, +7/3, +.35, -.333..., -sqrt of 5 are not integers though they are signed nos.
