Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Adding and subtracting integers – positive and negative whole numbers – follows a few clear sign rules: add and keep the sign when the signs match, subtract and keep the larger sign when they differ, and subtract by adding the opposite. This worksheet builds that skill from quick computation to real-world situations where negatives matter.
The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box states the sign rules with two worked examples. Section A has six problems that mix addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers. Section B on page 2 has four word problems set in temperature, depth, banking, and football.
Page 3 is a complete answer key that shows each result and the setup for every word problem. The worksheet pairs well with the Order of Operations and Comparing Numbers worksheets.
