Negative Numbers- GCSE Maths Revision


I think that I have finally overcome my mental block about this particular problem. It came to me as I was waiting for the bus this morning. Looking at my index card, I can't believe that I never noticed it before.


To find the difference between two numbers:


  • If the signs are the same, subtract the numbers.

  • If the signs are different, add the numbers.

or


SAME = SUBTRACT ...................... DIFFERENT = ADD


I never noticed the matching letters before!
