Terminology

  • integer
  • negative
  • positive
  • number line

Task goals

  • Identify and order positive and negative integers on a number line.
  • Add integers, including adding a negative integer.
  • Subtract integers, including subtracting a negative integer.
  • Multiply two integers and correctly determine the sign of the product.
  • Divide two integers and correctly determine the sign of the quotient.
  • Solve multi-step problems that combine addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers.

Teaching guidance

  • Standalone Year-10-branded rebuild of 10MAT-ALGEBRA-LO2 (registry order 223, target lo-integers-y10) - the original Year 10 restatement of Integers was resolved by enriching the shared T1_LO5 entry rather than creating a new page; this -R entry is the curriculum team's later decision to publish a separate Year-10 page after all, so it is not an unresolved duplicate.
  • Same integer arithmetic scope as T1_LO5 (Integers): adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with negative numbers.
  • Linking integers to BEDMAS/GEMA (T1_LO7 / MG:10MAT-ALGEBRA-LO1-R) can come up later.
  • Checking for equivalence in expressions involving negative numbers, e.g. (-3)^2 not -3^2, -2 + 3 = 3 + (-2), 2 x (-3) = (-3) x 2 = (-2) x 3, etc.
  • Explicit use of number line.
