@JessicaB97 I think the answer to your problem :(-5)-(+5) is -10, because when you take away the + sign you have -5 and -5 which is -10, in other words, if you put 5 cats with 5 cats you have 10 cats or negative 10, or did I misunderstand something?
@JessicaB97 Hi Jessica. There is no rule for adding and subtracting that says a negative and a negative, or a negative and a positive, etc. That's for multiplication and division. In addition and subtraction, use the method shown in the video. First circle the numbers with the signs before those numbers. Now scribble the plus sign. You are left with 8 cats and 4 cats. That makes 12 cats altogether. There is no fighting. 12 cats is 12 negatives. Hope that helps.
@JessicaB97 The answer to the problem in your comment here is -10. Cross out the plus sign. Now you have -5 and another -5. That's 5 cats and 5 cats which makes 10 cats.
Okay so if i hv -5 + 5 ( 5 cats nd 5 dogs) wouldnt 5 dogs chase away 5 cats nd we'd b left with 0 ? but the answer is -10 ..? please help i hv a test soon nd i got confused on my hmwk when my teacher checked it .. so im guessin the cats nd dog rule doesnt apply here? ur vids really help thanks a million ! :)
@JessicaB97 -5+5=0 That is the correct answer, not -10. Not sure who told you that answer, but it's wrong. The dog cat thing works with that problem. I hope that helps you my friend ; )
@koolrahul12 THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY? WHY CRITICIZE THE ONE DOING THE WORK, AND PUTTING FORTH A GREAT EFFORT TO HELP...THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL FOR MY CHILDREN, NIECE AND NEPHEW. THOSE WHO TEACH GET FAR TO LITTLE PRAISE AND THANKS!!!!
Thank You! The first time I did this, I got an F! I didn't get it at all! And I wished that there was a trick on how to make it easier. I am more of a visual person, so it was easy because I pictured the dogs chasing the cats. In other words, THANK YOU!
Do you have to take out the plus symbol when you have 5 + 6 ? Would you take that plus sign out, or only the plus signs that represent the positivity of a certain number?
Your explanation is very straightforward but what you failed to explain is why when subtracting a negative number it becomes a positive - that is where most students just memorize rather than conceptually understand!
@SuperLucario211 it's math...it's meant to be boring with an exception of this teacher and jediteacher2007. btw,if you don't like something, don't waste time making a comment.
@SuperLucario211 Downgrading other's work can be very insulting, and this gentleman is just trying to help others. If you don't appreciate this man's doing,
@techdeckbro1 The greater value equals the answer. e.g( -84+18= -66) So if the negative number is greater than the positive, then the answer is a negative. same thing goes with a greater postivite.
@techdeckbro1 84 cats and 18 dogs. 18 dogs cancels out 18 of the cats, leaving 66 cats or negative 66. You start with small numbers and get the concept down by drawing the letters or pictures and then bypass that step when you get the method down and move on to larger numbers.
This was the absolute best way explaining how to add and subtract integers. I'm needing this for the TABE test. After watching this video, with a little bit of practice, I have mastered this method and find it explained very thorough. I wish I found this video a lot sooner, hope more videos are in the works. Thanks much Tim Bedley.
Thanks everybody for the kind feedback on the video. I will try to add some more concepts in the near future. Be sure to subscribe so you get notice of when they're live.
READ THIS ITS WAY BETTER FOR LEARNING. YOU WILL GET IT RIGHT AWAY.when you see a question like: +9 - (-4)= see how there is 2 - next to eachother, that means its +, just forget about the + on the left, never look at it. always look at the right +/- LOOK HERE!!!. + + = + - - = + - + = - + - = - What you see up there ^ is alway on the right. its not the first part of the question like -9 + (-9) ^never look at that - look at the next + and - sooo + - = - so the question equals18
@fraz200 wow i am a 7th grader and i didn't knew this because i didn't be attentive in class because of my boring teacher! now i don't find it too awful to do this so good luck to your son fraz200 and everyone! This is a great math lesson for everyone and I like the concept of the cats and dogs.
because your subtracting the oposite. the oposite of a negative would be a positive. thats a very rough answer. you might want to ask a math teacher to explain it if you don't get. i hated this part of my math clath.
If you watch this video above all the way through, it pretty much explains it. There are no hard and fast rules for addition and subtraction the way there is for mult. and div. In Mult, pos times pos is ALWAYS pos and pos times neg is always neg and neg times neg is always pos. That just doesn't hold true for add and sub.
I cannot thank you enough. this is a perfect example for us right brainers lol. I never ever understood this and could never master it, you just gave me the tools THANK YOU!
364 is positive. 597 is negative. You have way more negatives (cats) than you have positives (dogs)...so just subtract the smaller number from the bigger. Your answer will be negative since you are really just counting how many more cats you have ; )
Thanks for all of your comments. Unfortunately your rules are incorrect. You are giving rules for multiplying positive and negative integers, not adding and subtracting.
Actually this tutorial isn't to help students understand the WHY of the math...it's more of a trick that makes it easy to remember HOW to solve the problem. It takes a lot of the memorization burden off of students who have difficulty memorizing algorithms. It's more of a mnemonic device.
haha as childish as it was (sorry no offence) that was easier then when i learned in school. i have to take a "refresher" class and this helped alot!!!
Please,if you have anymore simple ways to look at order of operation problems(PEMDAS) involving negative numbers do show. I get confused by all the phrases.
(2) (3-7) + 3 + (5-8) (6) this sort of thing. Thanks!
You couldnt have picked a better example for me, I love animals ^_^ This will help a lot with the simpler problems, though I may need a different technique for larger integer problems. ANyways it was helpful, thanks!
mean-30-6=24 24 becomes +24 subtracting- if numbers are just simple like this: 6-3=3 29-31=31-29=-2 (because 29 is smaller than 31 *we dnt have to change the oppsosite of the subtrahend and add it from the minued... but if its integers or there's a negative no. then i change the opposite of the subtrahend(in symbols-negative is the opposite of positive)and add it from the minued. example- 1.-30-6=- 30 + -6= -36 because 6 is positive so i changed it to negative... so negative + negative=negative
in adding integers if i have to add negative from positive all i have to do is subtract(because theres a negative no.) the greater no.(not the signs because we all know that positive is greater than negative)from the smaller ones and then, copy the symbol of the greater no.
example-
-6+30- 30 - 6 (i subtract 30 from 6 because 6 is ---- negative.) 24=+24 because 30 is much bigger than 6...(the symbol of 30 is positive.
