This document provides a lesson on negative numbers. It includes objectives to differentiate between positive and negative numbers and compare negative numbers. Examples are given of counting backwards and placing numbers on a number line. Students practice identifying the highest, lowest, and closest to zero numbers. They also solve addition and subtraction problems involving negative numbers. The lesson concludes with an independent practice worksheet and homework assignment.

21. Questions on a Number Line
Alfie draws a number line and writes some questions:
Write some questions for a partner.
1. What number is 7 less than 4?
2. What number is 5 more than -2?
3. What is the difference between -4 and 1?

22. Number Square
Alfie takes a number square and adds a row at the top. Can you help him to
fill in the numbers?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
-9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

23. Counting Backwards in 2s
Alfie and Fatima work together to count backwards. One person gives a
starting number less than 20, and the other counts backwards. They work
together to check any mistakes.
“8, 6, 4, 2, 0, -1, -3…”
“You’ve changed from
even to odd numbers. I
think we need to check.”
Do you agree with Fatima?
Work with a partner, like Alfie and Fatima to practise counting
backwards in 2s from any number.

24. Counting Backwards in 5s
Fatima writes the first 3 numbers in a sequence:
25, 20, 15,…
What is the 8th number in the sequence?
-10
Work with a partner. Give a number ending in 0
or 5 to start counting back in 5s.
By counting backwards in 5s,
explore what certain numbers in the
sequence will be, e.g. the 5th number
in a sequence.
