Add and Subtract Integers
Combine positive and negative integer changes from calculations and real-world contexts, including subtracting a negative integer.

Integer addition and subtraction is about movement. A positive change moves the value up or right, and a negative change moves it down or left. In contexts, receiving money or climbing can be positive; spending money, descending, or cooling can be negative.
