Negative Numbers - Worksheet

This Negative Numbers Worksheet is designed to help students understand and practice the concept of negative numbers in a clear and structured way. The first task requires students to arrange a series of numbers in ascending order, from the smallest to the largest. This exercise encourages familiarity with the placement of negative numbers in relation to positive numbers and zero on the number line. The worksheet provides a series of numbers for students to sequence, ensuring they grasp the concept that negative numbers are less than positive numbers and that the further from zero a negative number is, the smaller it is.

The second part of the worksheet focuses on finding the difference between pairs of numbers, including a mix of negative and positive integers. Students are prompted to use a number line to assist them in visualizing the distance between the numbers and to accurately calculate the differences. This exercise helps to reinforce the idea that negative numbers represent points on the number line to the left of zero, while positive numbers are to the right. Additionally, the worksheet includes a fun and interactive element: a printable dice and game board for a game that further consolidates students' understanding of negative numbers through play, with a number line ranging from 12 to -12 to guide their learning.
