Basic operations with Integers activities in 6th Grade

What are the objectives and importance of integer practice in math and real life?

This resource does not only require kids to master basic integer rules but is a great way to offer them outstanding skills that are useful throughout their lives. So, what are the objectives and importance of integer practice in math and real life?

As we know, we come across positive and negative numbers, or zeros very often in math and real-life situations. Thus once kids understand and can work with these numbers, they can efficiently solve all math concepts, ranging from addition, subtraction, algebra, etc. Even in real-life situations, we use these numbers to illustrate two contradictory situations. For instance, negative numbers denote low value, absence, or decrease in some quality or quantity, like temperature, money, etc.

In line with this, we have formulated familiar real-life situations wherein kids will interpret by writing a positive or negative number relative to each situation.

Hence, this enriching resource hopes for kids to be proficient in the;

• Ordering a set of integers from greatest to least.

• Noticing that Integers become smaller in value as you move to the left and larger as you move to the right on a number line.

• Apply knowledge of integers to measurements and money.
