OK let’s do a Directed Numbers lesson.
Over here we have an example (-5+7).
So there are two steps to this: Step Number
One is take the left hand number and mark
it on the number line so let’s find -5 now.
So -5 right here to the left of the zero so
we marked that out – that’s the first
step.
The Second Step is to jump in the direction
of the +7.
And as I mentioned earlier, +7 means to the
right remember if it is -7 you’ll move it
to the left.
So we are going to the right because it is
+7 so let’s move to the right seven (7)
times from here.
Starting at -5 we are going to jumped up seven
times along the number line.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
So we arrived at number 2.
So the answer to this question please: -5+7=2.
