Integer Number Line Operations

Use the number line to locate integers and work out additions and subtractions. Remember: moving right increases a value, and moving left decreases it.

Locate and compare integers

1.Which interval on the number line contains −4?
-6-5-4-3-2-10123456
  • Between −5 and −3
  • Between −3 and −1
  • Between −1 and 0
  • Between 0 and 1
2.Write < or > in each space to make the comparisons true: −6 2; −2 −7; 0 −3.
-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-101234
3.Which temperature is the coldest?
-10-8-6-4-20245
  • 4°C
  • −1°C
  • −9°C
  • 0°C
4.Match each integer to the description that fits it.
  • −8
  • 0
  • 5
  • −1
  • 3
  • Three units to the right of zero
  • One unit to the left of zero
  • Five units above zero
  • Eight units below zero
  • Neither positive nor negative

Add and subtract with integer steps

5.Start at −3 and move 7 steps to the right. What number do you reach?
-5-4-3-2-10123456
6.Start at 4 and move 9 steps to the left. What number do you reach?
-6-5-4-3-2-10123456
7.Calculate −5 + 8. Show the starting value, direction and number of steps on the number line.
-7-6-5-4-3-2-1012345
8.Calculate 2 − 7. Show the starting value, direction and number of steps on the number line.
-6-5-4-3-2-1012345
9.A lift is on level −2. It travels up 6 levels. Which level does it reach?
10.At dawn the temperature was −4°C. By lunchtime it had risen 11°C. What was the lunchtime temperature?
-6-4-202468
11.A submarine is 3 metres below sea level, represented by −3 m. It descends another 5 m. Write an integer calculation and find its new position.
-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1012
12.A hiker starts at an elevation represented by −7. They climb to an elevation of 2. How many units do they climb?
-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-101234
