Negative Numbers - Worksheet

This worksheet provides a series of exercises focused on negative numbers, designed to help students understand and practice counting with negative values using a number line as a visual aid. The first set of questions requires students to count forward in various step increments from different starting negative numbers. For example, they may start at -2 and count forwards in steps of 1, or begin at -3 and count forwards in steps of 3. Each question presents a unique starting point and step size, challenging students to accurately navigate the number line in a positive direction from a negative starting position.

The second part of the worksheet involves reverse counting exercises, where students are asked to count backwards from positive numbers in specified step sizes. This could involve counting back in steps of 1 from 1, or larger steps such as counting back in steps of 5 from 10. Additionally, there is a 'Negative Numbers Ladders Worksheet' section, where students are tasked with filling in the missing numbers within given sequences that include both negative and positive numbers. These sequences vary in complexity and stepping, providing a range of challenges that cater to different skill levels. The exercises are designed to enhance students' understanding of negative numbers and their placement in relation to positive numbers on a number line.
