Show answers and working
  1. 1. -19

    Start at -10 on a number line. Move 9 left. You land on -19.

  2. 2. -7

    Start at -5 on a number line. Move 2 left. You land on -7.

  3. 3. -3

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

  4. 4. -3

    Subtracting 1 is the same as adding -1. -2 + (-1) = -3

  5. 5. 285

    Multiply the sizes: 15 × 19 = 285. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: 285

  6. 6. -34

    Subtracting 18 is the same as adding -18. -16 + (-18) = -34

  7. 7. 27

    Start at 13 on a number line. Move 14 right. You land on 27.

  8. 8. 10

    Subtracting 6 is the same as adding -6. 16 + (-6) = 10

  9. 9. 24

    Subtracting (-13) is the same as adding 13. 11 + 13 = 24

  10. 10. -204

    Multiply the sizes: 12 × 17 = 204. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -204

  11. 11. -110

    Multiply the sizes: 5 × 22 = 110. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -110

  12. 12. -285

    Multiply the sizes: 19 × 15 = 285. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -285

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.
