Integers can be used for everyday life! There are two kinds of integers - positive and negative. Integers greater than 0 are positive integers, while integers less that 0 are negative integers. Zero is neither positive nor negative.

For example, the game Mancala is an African game that is over 3,000 years old. The object is for a player to capture the opponent's stones. Suppose a player removes 12 opponent's stones.

Since there is a decreases in stones, the negative integer, -12, represents this situation.
