Choose the operations and the amount of support

Choose by the learner’s current skills. Mixing operations adds the task of recognizing a sign before choosing a method, even when the individual numbers are familiar.

The preview shows the first student page. Downloads contain the complete worksheet; the version with answers adds a separate key with matching problem positions. More spacious written-method practice may use several pages.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Separate an operation sign from the sign of an operand.

Worked example

−4 − (−7) = ?

3

Subtracting negative seven is equivalent to adding seven: −4 + 7 = 3.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Parentheses make a negative operand distinct from the operation between the operands.
  • Two negative operands do not imply every answer is positive; the operation still matters.
  • When division is selected, use multiplication to check the exact integer quotient.
  • Use a number line for addition and subtraction before relying only on sign shortcuts.
