We started a somewhat confusing concept today on algebraic addition. One thing you can help them with is the idea that if you subtract a negative number, like -(-3), (this is commonly called "adding the opposite" in algebra), or subtract a positive number, like -(4), the number becomes negative, like -3 and -4 from the previous answers. In the same manner, if you add a negative number, like +(-4), the number also becomes negative, in this case a -4. Naturally, then, adding a positive number, like +(+5), the number is positive, +5.
Homework is Supplemental Practice problems for L. 64, 66, and 68 found on pages 868-869.
