Operations with Integers
Integer fluency is the computational backbone of secondary mathematics. Students consolidate all four operations with positive and negative numbers, connecting rules to number-line reasoning rather than memorized sign charts. Multi-step problems requiring correct order of operations reveal how much these skills interact.

Key ideas
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers fluently. Apply integer rules to multi-step problems. Evaluate expressions involving integers using order of operations. Solve real-world problems that involve negative quantities.
Putting it together
Apply these ideas through worked examples, guided practice, and real-world problems.
