Negative numbers

Subtracting positive and negative numbers is complicated. Here are 4 rules to keep in mind.

When we count something, we use natural numbers. For example, first, we cut 1 piece of a cake, then we cut another one and we have 2 small pieces of cake. Or we collect apples, we take 1, then another 1, and we have 2 apples. We add numbers to each other using addition. If we use subtraction the same way, at a certain point, we will have to deal with negative numbers.

This fantastic Negative Numbers Worksheet aims to introduce students to negative numbers by completing number lines by counting backwards through zero, as well as number patterns that include negative numbers in steps of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
