The word "integer" means a positive or negative whole number.

Classify each number below as an integer or not. 

37.4 yes or no?  

That's a decimal! So it's not a positive or negative whole number. 
So no, it's not an integer

 
32/8 yes or no? 

That's 4, which is a positive whole number.
So yes, 32/8 is an integer.


-982.19 yes or no? 

That's a decimal! So it's not a positive or negative whole number. 
So no, it's not an integer.


-1/2 yes or no? 

That's a fraction! So it's not a positive or negative whole number. 
So no, it's not an integer.

-18 yes or no? 

That's a negative whole number.  So yes, it's an integer.
