Arithmetic: What are Integers (aka Whole Numbers, Counting Numbers, Natural Numbers)

We call them whole numbers, counting numbers, natural numbers...but the mathy-math name is integers. This includes the numbers you use to count things:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on...And the absence of things:-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, and so on...And don't forget the number 0 (zero) to say we have exactly NO things. To learn more about the number zero, watch this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQUUa74b2FwAbout this series:Every Thursday, we're going to Math Camp! This year, we're learning about ARITHMETIC. We'll learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. We'll also learn about whole numbers (integers), fractions, decimals, and complex numbers. These are topics that first come up in arithmetic, but will continue to be helpful in other math subjects like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and more. So get yer paper and pencils and join us for a fun-filled summer! (sunscreen optional). Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a single episode! Come back each Thursday!! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=SocraticaKidsPlease share these videos with your friends so they can have fun learning math, too. http://youtu.be/-CtVTRgyWEIMath guide: Louise McCartneyWritten by Michael HarrisonDirected & Produced by Kimberly Hatch Harrison & Michael Harrison
