[Intro]
Hey, Lions!
It's Coach Carrie!
Today we're working with integers.
Positive, negative—
Let's get it right!
Pause, think, solve!
[Verse 1]
When the signs are the same,
There's a rule you need to know:
Add the absolute values,
Then keep the sign you started with.
Positive plus positive,
Add them up, keep positive.
Negative plus negative,
Add them up, keep negative.
Four plus three is seven,
Positive four plus positive three.
Negative four plus negative three,
Gives us negative seven!
[Pre]
Look at the signs,
Check them first.
Same signs together?
Add the numbers!
[Chorus]
Same signs? Add it up!
Same signs? Add it up!
Add the absolute values,
Keep the sign, that's what's up!
Same signs? Add it up!
Take your time and do the work!
Positive stays positive,
Negative stays negative!
[Verse 2]
Now the signs are different,
So we change the plan.
Find the difference between the values,
Then check which one's bigger.
Positive eight plus negative three,
Eight minus three is five.
Eight has the bigger absolute value,
So our answer's positive five.
Negative eight plus positive three,
Eight minus three is five.
Eight has the bigger absolute value,
And negative eight gives us negative five.
[Pre]
Different signs?
Don't add them yet!
Find the difference,
Then check the sign!
[Chorus]
Different signs? Find the difference!
Different signs? Find the difference!
Subtract the absolute values,
Keep the sign of the bigger one!
Different signs? Find the difference!
Take your time and work it through!
Check the absolute values,
Then the sign will help you choose!
[Bridge]
Absolute value means distance,
Distance from zero on the number line.
The sign may disappear for a moment,
But we'll bring it back when it's time.
Same signs, add together.
Different signs, find the difference.
The bigger absolute value
Tells you which sign you're keeping!
[Challenge — Coach Carrie]
Okay, mathematicians!
Your turn!
Negative seven plus positive twelve.
What's the answer?
Pause...
And...
Solve!
[Instrumental Break]
Let's check it!
Twelve minus seven is five.
Twelve has the bigger absolute value.
Twelve is positive.
So the answer is...
Positive five!
[Challenge Two]
Ready for one more?
Negative nine plus negative six.
What's the answer?
Pause...
And...
Solve!
[Instrumental Break]
Same signs!
Add the absolute values.
Nine plus six is fifteen.
Keep the negative sign.
The answer is...
Negative fifteen!
[Final Chorus]
Same signs? Add it up!
Different signs? Find the difference!
Absolute value helps you know
Which sign you're gonna keep!
Same signs? Add it up!
Different signs? Find the difference!
Pause, think, solve, and check!
That's how mathematicians work!
[Outro]
Positive, negative,
Now you know the way.
Use those integer rules
When you're solving every day.
Same signs, add it up!
Different signs, find the difference!
Pause, think, solve, and check!
I'm Coach Carrie,
And I'll see you in the next math lesson!
