Consecutive Integer Problems Worksheets
What Are Consecutive Integers? We are all familiar with integers. The numbers we usually use like 0, 1,2 3, and 4, and the likes of these are all integers. Unlike whole numbers, integers include the negative numbers too. We would represent integers like: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... However, not all kinds of numbers are termed as integers. Decimals and fractions are not considered as integers. Integers have another type, known as consecutive integers. Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other in an orderly manner. For example, if your teacher counts the numbers from 0 to 10, like, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Counting or number that are represented in this orderly manner are consecutive integers. In this case, numbers from 0 to 10 are the consecutive integers. NEGATIVE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS - It is important to remember that integers also include negative numbers. All the negative integers that follow each other are known as negative consecutive numbers. For example, numbers from -4 to 4 -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 EVEN AND ODD CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS - Even consecutive integers are those that follow each other in an even order. The simplest example of this 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Odd consecutive integers are those integers that follow an odd pattern. The simplest example would be 1,3 5, 7,9 This selection of worksheets and lessons help students learn how to identify and compute values that include consecutive integers.
