Positive and negative numbers

In this lesson, we will interpret negative numbers in a variety of contexts and explore movement on an 'extended' number line.

In this lesson, we will learn to interpret the absolute value of a number and understand how to order negative numbers using inequality notation.

In this lesson, we will be able to model addition of a positive number as a translation on the number line and use this model to develop strategies for addition.

In this lesson, we will learn how to model addition of a negative number as a translation on the number line and explore what happens when two additive inverses are added together.

In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between subtracting positive numbers and adding additive inverses.

In this lesson, we will explore subtracting negative numbers as the addition of the additive inverse.

In this lesson, we will explore multiplication involving at least one positive number and learn how it is possible to visualise multiplication as a stretch by a scale factor.

In this lesson, we will learn about negative scale factors and explore the commutativity of multiplication.

In this lesson, we will investigate how to find the product of two negative numbers.

In this lesson, we will explore a model for division involving counting backwards and analysing a number line.

In this lesson, we will derive further division facts using 'fact families'.

In this lesson, we will practise negative number calculations, linking them to axioms like commutativity and associativity.
