Cameron's Great Book of Integers


Chapter 1 Grade 7 Integer Review

(+4) + (-2) = +2
Positive (4) and Negative (2) = positive 2
have 4 and owe 2 = have 2
Standard Form: 4 - 2 = -2
Make zero pairs:

-16 = +16, -5 = + 5, +6 = -6, -2 = +2,

-10 = +10, +3 = -3, +11 = -11, -9 = +9

CHAPTER 2

(+2)x(+3) = +6
(2)x(3) = 6
(2)(3) = 6 *Standard form*
2(3) = 6
(+2)x(+3) = +6
2 groups of (3)=+6


(+2)x(-3) = -6
2 groups of (-3)=-6




(-2)x(-3) = +6
remove 2 groups of (-3)=+6



(-2)x(+3) = -6
remove 2 groups of (+3)=-6



Sign Rule (negative signs):
Even = When you have an even number of negative factors, the product is positive.
Odd = When you have an odd number of negative factors, the product is negative.

Chapter 3 Dividing Integers


Sign Rule: If you have no negative or an even number of negative signs in a division question, the quotient is positive.

There are 2 types of division
Partitive Division or making parts
6÷3=2 ,

how many groups of 3 are in 6?


Quotative Division or sharing your total with groups
6÷3=2 , share 6 with 3 groups


6÷2 and -6÷ (-2) will give you the answer of 3 because the questions has no, or an even amount of negative signs.
(-6)÷2 and 6÷(-2) will give you the answer of -3 because the questions have an odd amount of negative signs.

Chapter 4 Order of Operations with Integers


Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
(+5) x (-3) + (-6) ÷ (+3)
(+5) x (-3) + (-2) [solved division first]
(-15) + (-2) [solved multiplication after]
= (-17) [solved addition]

Cameron's Homework Book Post: pg. 33 Numbers 6,7,8

I have chosen to do questions 6, 7, and 8 in the homework book on page 33.

6. The width of a rectangle is 8cm, and its diagonal is 17cm.

a) Calculate the length of the rectangle. Show your work!
c² - b² = a²
17² - 8² = a²
(17x17) - (8x8) = a²
289cm² - 64cm² = 225cm²
225cm² = c²
√225cm² = √c²
15cm² = c²


7. A quadrilateral has a width of 17cm and a length of 26cm. A diagonal is 31cm. Is the quadrilateral a rectangle? Justify your answer.

a² + b² = c²
26² + 17² = c²
(26x26) + (17x17) = c²
676cm² + 289cm² = 965cm²
965cm² = c²
√965cm² = √c²
31.06cm²

Answer: No, the corners do not meet at right angles because 17² + 26² ≠ 31²


8. A ship leaves port heading due west. After travelling at a speed of 20 km/h for 10h, the ship makes a 90 degree turn and heads south, travelling south for 7.5 h, how far is the ship from the port? Show your work.

20 km/h for 10h west equals 200km
20 km/h for 7.5h south equals 150km
200 km² + 150km²=?
40,000km + 22,500km = 62500km
✓62,500km = 250km²

Answer: The ship is 250km² away from the port.

I'm sorry that their aren't any pictures, my computer won't let me put them on.

Hope this helps!
