- 1.8 + (-9) = ?[1]
- 2.-1 + (-2) = ?[1]
- 3.0 + 5 = ?[1]
- 4.6 + (-5) = ?[1]
- 5.-7 + (-1) = ?[2]
- 6.-1 − (-4) = ?[2]
- 7.8 + 17 = ?[2]
- 8.16 × 17 = ?[2]
- 9.-3 × 13 = ?[3]
- 10.1 − (-29) = ?[3]
- 11.-21 − 9 = ?[3]

Show answers and working
1. -1
Start at 8 on a number line. Move 9 left. You land on -1.
2. -3
Start at -1 on a number line. Move 2 left. You land on -3.
3. 5
Start at 0 on a number line. Move 5 right. You land on 5.
4. 1
Start at 6 on a number line. Move 5 left. You land on 1.
5. -8
Start at -7 on a number line. Move 1 left. You land on -8.
6. 3
Subtracting (-4) is the same as adding 4. -1 + 4 = 3
7. 25
Start at 8 on a number line. Move 17 right. You land on 25.
8. 272
Multiply the sizes: 16 × 17 = 272. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: 272
9. -39
Multiply the sizes: 3 × 13 = 39. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -39
10. 30
Subtracting (-29) is the same as adding 29. 1 + 29 = 30
11. -30
Subtracting 9 is the same as adding -9. -21 + (-9) = -30
12. 16
Subtracting (-11) is the same as adding 11. 5 + 11 = 16
Worked examples

Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Thinks −8 is bigger than −3.
Correction: Further left on the number line means smaller.
Treats − (−4) as −4.
Correction: Two minus signs together become a plus.
Teacher tips
- · Use a vertical number line like a thermometer.
Parent tips
