Understanding Integers: Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero. They are represented on a number line, with positive integers to the right of zero and negative integers to the left. In this lesson, we will learn to identify, compare, and perform operations with integers.

Positive and Negative Integers: Positive integers represent quantities greater than zero, such as 1, 2, 3, while negative integers represent quantities less than zero, such as -1, -2, -3. We will explore real-life scenarios where positive and negative integers are used to represent gains, losses, temperatures, and more.

Comparing Integers: Understanding the concept of magnitude is crucial when comparing integers. We will learn about the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols (<,>, =) and apply them to compare integers. Through engaging activities and examples, students will grasp the principles of integer comparison effortlessly.

Addition and Subtraction of Integers: Adding and subtracting integers involves considering the signs of the numbers. When adding integers with the same sign, we add their absolute values and keep the common sign. However, when adding integers with different signs, we subtract their absolute values and take the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value. Subtraction follows similar rules, making operations with integers both challenging and rewarding.

Multiplication and Division of Integers: Multiplying and dividing integers require understanding the rules for positive and negative numbers. We will explore patterns and strategies to simplify these operations, enabling students to tackle complex integer problems with confidence.
