Show answers and working
  1. 1. 11

    Subtracting (-10) is the same as adding 10. 1 + 10 = 11

  2. 2. 1

    Start at 6 on a number line. Move 5 left. You land on 1.

  3. 3. 7

    Subtracting (-7) is the same as adding 7. 0 + 7 = 7

  4. 4. -9

    Start at 1 on a number line. Move 10 left. You land on -9.

  5. 5. 8

    Subtracting 5 is the same as adding -5. 13 + (-5) = 8

  6. 6. 234

    Multiply the sizes: 13 × 18 = 234. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: 234

  7. 7. -3

    Subtracting (-3) is the same as adding 3. -6 + 3 = -3

  8. 8. 5

    Start at 19 on a number line. Move 14 left. You land on 5.

  9. 9. -21

    Subtracting 21 is the same as adding -21. 0 + (-21) = -21

  10. 10. 19

    Subtracting (-19) is the same as adding 19. 0 + 19 = 19

  11. 11. -4

    Subtracting 18 is the same as adding -18. 14 + (-18) = -4

  12. 12. -31

    Start at -17 on a number line. Move 14 left. You land on -31.

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

  • · Compare winter temperatures from the weather forecast.

Real-life applications

  • · Temperatures below zero, bank balances, floors below ground.
