Grade 6 Math: Integers: Easy Practice

Easy Level Guide Build confidence with foundational questions. Review key vocabulary and core skills before moving to harder sets. Positive and Negative Numbers Integers include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. They model situations like temperature above and below zero, elevation, and debt. On a number line, numbers increase to the right and decrease to the left. Absolute Value Absolute value is the distance from zero on a number line, always written as a positive number. |−7| = 7 and |7| = 7. Opposites are the same distance from zero on opposite sides, like 5 and −5. Adding and Subtracting Integers Adding a negative moves left on the number line. Subtracting is the same as adding the opposite: 5 − (−3) = 5 + 3. When signs match, add absolute values and keep the sign. When signs differ, subtract absolute values and keep the sign of the larger. Multiplying and Dividing Same signs give a positive product or quotient. Different signs give a negative result. Any number times zero is zero. These rules extend to expressions with multiple operations and parentheses.
