6.NS.9

Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract integers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.

6.NS.9.aDescribe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged.6.NS.9.bUnderstand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of integers by describing real-world contexts.6.NS.9.cUnderstand subtraction of integers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). Show that the distance between two integers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.6.NS.9.dApply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract integers.
