Adding and Subtracting Integers

A weather station records temperatures above and below 0°C. Solve each change to help check its daily log. For addition, start at the first number and move by the second number. Show working where asked.

Read the station’s number line

Use this number line to track the station’s temperature changes.

1.At dawn, the temperature is −6°C. It rises by 9°C. Write an integer calculation and find the new temperature.
2.At midday, it is 4°C. The temperature drops by 11°C. Write an integer calculation and find the new temperature.
3.A weather balloon is at −3 km relative to sea level. It climbs 8 km, then descends 2 km. What is its final height relative to sea level?
4.A freezer is at −8°C. Its temperature changes by −5°C overnight. Calculate the new temperature.
5.A diver is 12 m below sea level. They rise 7 m. Represent below sea level with a negative integer, then find the diver’s new position.
6.Work out −4 − (−9). Explain briefly why the answer is positive or negative.
7.Choose the calculation that equals −2.
  • −5 + 3
  • −5 − 3
  • 5 − 3
  • −5 + (−3)
8.True or false: subtracting −6 is equivalent to adding 6. Give an example to check your answer.
TrueFalse
9.Complete the station log: −7 + □ = 2. What integer belongs in the box?
10.A station records a change of −4°C from a starting temperature of 3°C, then a further change of +10°C. Write one expression and calculate the final temperature.
