Answer Key

Total Problems: 10

1.17−16

= 1

1. Rewrite Subtraction as Adding the Opposite: 17 − 16 = 17 + (-16)

2. Apply Integer Addition Rules: |17| with |-16|

3. Result: 17 − 16 = 1 ✅

2.2−15

= -13

1. Rewrite Subtraction as Adding the Opposite: 2 − 15 = 2 + (-15)

2. Apply Integer Addition Rules: |2| with |-15|

3. Result: 2 − 15 = -13 ✅

3.6+10

= 16

1. Same Signs Rule (Positive + Positive): Add absolute values |6| + |10| = 16

2. Keep the Common Sign: Positive (+)

3. Result: 6 + 10 = 16 ✅

4.14−4

= 10

1. Rewrite Subtraction as Adding the Opposite: 14 − 4 = 14 + (-4)

2. Apply Integer Addition Rules: |14| with |-4|

3. Result: 14 − 4 = 10 ✅

5.9+7

= 16

1. Same Signs Rule (Positive + Positive): Add absolute values |9| + |7| = 16

2. Keep the Common Sign: Positive (+)

3. Result: 9 + 7 = 16 ✅

6.12+(-9)

= 3

1. Different Signs Rule: Subtract smaller absolute value from larger |12| − |9| = 3

2. Take Sign of Larger Magnitude: |12| is larger (Positive (+))

3. Result: 12 + (-9) = 3 ✅

7.17+(-9)

= 8

1. Different Signs Rule: Subtract smaller absolute value from larger |17| − |9| = 8

2. Take Sign of Larger Magnitude: |17| is larger (Positive (+))

3. Result: 17 + (-9) = 8 ✅

8.-4−2

= -6

1. Rewrite Subtraction as Adding the Opposite: (-4) − 2 = (-4) + (-2)

2. Apply Integer Addition Rules: |-4| with |-2|

3. Result: (-4) − 2 = -6 ✅

9.-5−(-16)

= 11

1. Rewrite Subtraction as Adding the Opposite: (-5) − (-16) = (-5) + 16

2. Apply Integer Addition Rules: |-5| with |16|

3. Result: (-5) − (-16) = 11 ✅

10.-6+6

= 0

1. Different Signs Rule: Subtract smaller absolute value from larger |6| − |6| = 0

2. Take Sign of Larger Magnitude: |-6| is larger (Negative (−))

3. Result: (-6) + 6 = 0 ✅

The 3 Strategic Approaches for Teen Integers

Strategy 1: Making a Zero Benchmark. Break the second number apart so one chunk neutralizes the first number to zero. E.g. -13 + 18 ➔ -13 + 13 + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5.
Strategy 2: Adding the Opposite for Subtraction. Convert every subtraction problem into an addition problem: a − b ➔ a + (-b). E.g. 7 − 19 ➔ 7 + (-19) = -12.
Strategy 3: Absolute Value Subtraction. For opposite signs, find the difference of their magnitudes: |18| − |-11| = 7. Since +18 is larger, result is +7.

Common Middle School Traps with Teen Integers

Trap 1: Forgetting the negative sign on the final answer. Calculating -17 + 9 as 8 instead of -8 because the larger magnitude was negative.
Trap 2: Confusing addition of two negatives with multiplication. Thinking (-12) + (-5) = +17 because "two negatives make a positive". Clarify: two negatives make a positive ONLY in multiplication and double-negation, never in addition!
Trap 3: Subtracting a larger positive from a smaller positive: 6 − 15. Students often flip it to 15 − 6 = 9. Train them that starting small and taking away large always lands in negative territory: -9.
