Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
IntegerWhole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) without fractional or decimal parts.-3, 0, 5, -100
Order of OperationsA set of rules that dictate the sequence in which mathematical operations should be performed to ensure a unique result.PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and and Subtraction)
Absolute ValueThe distance of a number from zero on the number line, always a non-negative value.| -5 | = 5 and | 5 | = 5
Positive IntegerAn integer greater than zero.1, 2, 10, 100
Negative IntegerAn integer less than zero.-1, -2, -10, -100
ExpressionA mathematical phrase that can contain numbers, variables, and operation symbols, but no equality sign.$5 + (-3) \times 2$

Core Formulas
Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)
1. Parentheses/Brackets
2. Exponents/Orders
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
This rule ensures consistency in evaluating expressions. Operations within parentheses are done first, then exponents, then multiplication/division, and finally addition/subtraction.
Rules for Multiplying/Dividing Integers
$\text{Positive } \times \text{ Positive = Positive}$
$\text{Negative } \times \text{ Negative = Positive}$
$\text{Positive } \times \text{ Negative = Negative}$
$\text{Negative } \times \text{ Positive = Negative}$
When multiplying or dividing two integers, if the signs are the same, the result is positive. If the signs are different, the result is negative.
Rules for Addin...
