Good day everyone,
I"m back and better now. I intend running an online Mathematics class which will cover all age bracket. Everyone needs to know the basics of Mathematics, at least, regardless of what you study or your Profession.
You can follow me on Twitter: @Khazyz or on Nairaland here. I really need loads of support from this wonderful family.
Tell a friend...to tell a friend... to tell a friend.
I bet you will always have a swell time. Replies and feed backs will be appreciated. Thanks.

We will begin with the Rudiments of Addition and Subtraction...
This tends to confuse students and even graduates.
If I ask you :
3+ 2
5-3 =...They are easy..right?
What if you have:
-3 + 2 =
-5 + 3 =
Do you still know the answers?
I'll put you through a very easy method of doing this.
I need responses from you guys. I want to be sure I'm teaching someone.

I will begin today's class with the explanation of Method 1:
It works this way:
You will regard minus (-) as a debt you owe...while plus (+) is the money you have (own).
Therefore, -3 + 2 means that... You owe somebody #3 but you have just #2... when you pay; of course you will still be owing #1.
Thus -3 + 2 = -1. Understood?
Another example: -5 + 7 =
This means you owe somebody #5 but you have #7 with you. When you pay, it means you will still be having #2 with you...which is a plus.
Thus: -5 + 7 = +2 or 2. In mathematics, you can remove the + and write just the number... but this is not so with minus. If you have a minus, you must put it.
More examples:
-5 + 8 = 3
-6 + 2 = -4
-3 -2 = -5. etc
TRY THESE
1. -4 + 6 =
2. -5 -8 =
3. +4 - 10 =
4. -7 + 5 =
5. + 8 - 6 =
6. -11 + 11 =
7. - 8 + 16 =
8. - 6 + 5 =
Looking forward to your answers. @seun @jarus @Antiwailer @Ayoolakemi5 @all mathematics students

LOL. Just read your quote well. FYI, I teach mathematics where I teach. Jss 1-3 self.

Ehn.. oya learn d Sss1-3 maths here then

I'm so sorry I've not been so frequent here... but I am very active on twitter. Follow me @Khazyz for Mathematics update every day at 7pm. I will also try to post here too. Thanks

Like I said earlier, Minus (-) means debt while Plus (+) means credit.
Therefore -4 + 6 means you owe #4 but you have #6. When you pay your debt, you will still have #2 left.
Thus: -4 + 6 = 2. Understood?
Another method you can use is representing the numbers with sticks or strikes (lines).
For example:
-4 + 6 will be equated to
-4 = //// that is 4 sticks
+6 = ////// that is 6 sticks
Then one stick cancels another stick
You will find out that you are left with just 2 sticks at the + side.
Thus: -4 + 6 = +2 or 2.

More examples:
-9 + 6 =
-9 = ///////// (9 sticks)
+6 = ////// (6 sticks)
Now make one stick cancel the other, you will have 3 sticks left at the minus (-) side.
So, -9 + 6 = -3. Clear?
Which one is easier for you: Method 1 or 2?
Now, Using any method, do these:
1. -4 + 8 =
2. -5 - 9 =
3. +10 - 8 =
4. -5 + 12 =
5. +11 - 8 =
6. - 6 + 6 =
7. -6 + 3 =
8. - 5 + 4 =
