Last modified: 18th July 2015
Objectives: Add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers, as well as raise a negative number to a power.
For Teacher Use:
Recommended lesson structure:
Lesson 1: Adding, subtracting negative numbers.Lesson 2: Multiplying, dividing and mixed questions.
Visualising negatives with a number line
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
For any addition/subtraction of numbers, you should ALWAYS visualise a number line. How would we visualise the following?
3−7=−𝟒Click>
−3−4=−𝟕Click>
Bro Tip: Notice that the answer is always either the sum of the two numbers (ignoring sign) or the difference.
−6+10=𝟒Click>
−7+5=−𝟐Click>

Adding/subtracting negative numbers
5−−2=?What is the answer. How could we show it?
5−2=𝟑???
! A plus and a minus become a minus Two minuses become a plus.
Common Misunderstanding:
−4−10=14“Two minuses make a plus!”
What did they do wrong?Two minuses only become a plus when they’re next to each other.If we think about a number line can see the above doesn’t make sense.
