Negative Numbers - Number Line, Ordering and Differences.

(All answers are provided)

I've designed this resource to allow students to explore negative numbers from the basics.
It begins with a brief look at where negative numbers are used in real life.
This then leads to looking at the number line and finding missing numbers and rules.
Students then need to identify if a number is less than, equal to or more than another number or sum.

I've then created an interactive game where the students can come to the board and pop the bubbles in the correct order. (The bubbles move after a few seconds when in presentation mode). This then lists the order underneath. If a bubble is missed out there is a gap left and a discussion can be had about which number they missed and why etc..
There is then a written activity to be completed of order lists of numbers.

Students then start to look at temperature and the differences between negative and positive numbers. This leads into an activity on the difference of temperatures between different capital cities.

Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation including answers.
I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have.
