Integers and Rules of Integers

The integers are whole numbers which include negative numbers also. That is, an integer can be negative (-1, -2, -3, -4….), positive (1, 2, 3, 4….) or zero (0). Integers can be called as signed whole numbers. If no sign is in front of the whole number it is considered positive by default.

The higher is the negative integer lesser is its value. For example, -6 is less than -2, -7 is less than 3.

Addition Rules:

Same signs: If the two integers to be added have the same sign, we add the integers and keep the same sign for the sum.

6 + 8 = 14

(-4) + (-9) = -13

Different signs: If the integers to be added have the different signs, we add the integers and use the sign of greater integer

-15 + 6 = -9

18 + (-4) = 14

Subtraction Rules:

Subtraction can be understood as addition of the opposite. While subtracting two integers, sign of second integer is changed and added to first integer following the rules of addition of integers

-14 – (-17) = -14 + 17 = 3

In the above example, – changes to + and -17 changes to 17.

-14 – 17 = -14 + (-17) = -23

In the above example, – changes to + and 17 changes to -17.

Paraphrasing/ Summary Writing

Watch first: https://youtu.be/qMmpMNlIpBE 

A summary is all about highlighting the most important information. It is very important that you put the writer’s ideas into your own words, without changing the meaning.

4. Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head.

The self-made millionaire

Warren Buffet is not only one of the richest men in America but also in the world. It is not another rags-to-riches story. Neither is it a story of a man who through a stroke of luck became an overnight billionaire. It is the story of an enterprising man who, through his resilience and resourcefulness, managed to make his money grow and ultimately carve a niche in the business world. Even as a child, Buffet knew the value of money and was preoccupied with the idea of becoming rich. His money-making ventures were many and varied. He left no stone unturned in his endeavors to become rich. In fact, he channeled all his energies into making as much money as he could. Even when he was 5 years old, he set up a stall in front of his house selling chewing gum. Next, he turned to selling lemonade in another part of town. His other business ventures during childhood included selling used golf balls and going door-to-door selling soda pop during summer. As a teenager, he saved as much money as he could. While boys of his age were fascinated by model aircrafts and other electronic toys and gadgets, Warren was interested in the stock market. He closely monitored the prices of shares and at the young age of 11, Warren made his first investment when he purchased $114 worth of shares. Three years later, he invested $1200 in a 40-acre piece of farmland, which he rented out. Saturday, January 28, 2023 Are you Persuaded? - Watch the video and then answer the questions which follow.

As it was, events swiftly overtook him, and Adams—who, David McCullough writes, was "not a man of the world" and not fond of politics—came to greatness as the second President of the United States, and one of the most distinguished of a generation of revolutionary leaders. He found reason to dislike narrow-minded wrangling even more in the aftermath of war, when Federalist and anti—Federalist factions vied bitterly for power, introducing scandal into an administration beset by other difficulties—including pirates on the high seas, conflict with France and England, and all the public controversy attendant upon building a nation.  Which of the following best paraphrases the passage above?  A.

John Adams went from country lawyer to the American president.  D.

And when towards the sea you leap, He looks as if he were asleep. But when you once get in his range, His whole demeanour seems to change.

Mother to Son BY LANGSTON HUGHES Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare. But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s, And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
