I learned lots of things last semester in math class, but the main subject was integers. Integers was one if the hardest units in math, because I couldn't understand the negatives and the directions to go on a certain number. I didn't know what direction to go to when I found the sum of -23-(-12). After I told my math teacher, he taught me the ways. Whenever you are subtracting a negative number from a negative number the number is going to shrink but it may or may not be negative it just depends on the size of each negative number.
I found out that I had to go the negative side because the number wasn't big enough. When you are adding a negative number to a negative number the number is always going to stay negative and it is going to add up. So that means it is always going to the left which is the negative side of integers.
