Calculations Crossing Zero (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 7, Year 8
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Compare and order positive and negative integers
Learning Objective: Use the four operations applied to positive and negative integers.

Calculations Crossing Zero (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet provides learners with different strategies for calculating across zero. All questions here involve adding a positive number to a negative number and will aid in pupils understanding the symmetry of zero and prepare them for further calculations with positive and negative numbers.

Number lines are used throughout section A to complete addition statements. Three different types of number lines are used and are designed to encourage pupils to think about how to partition numbers when calculating with them. In section B, pupils will use partitioning to complete addition statements.

Students then predict whether addition calculations will cross zero or not in section C.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
