  9. 9. -624

    Multiply the sizes: 26 × 24 = 624. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -624

  10. 10. -312

    Multiply the sizes: 24 × 13 = 312. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -312

  11. 11. 14

    Start at 1 on a number line. Move 13 right. You land on 14.

  12. 12. 0

    Start at 11 on a number line. Move 11 left. You land on 0.

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.
