      A well explained video tutorial which clearly works through an example on ordering negative numbers. This does exactly what it says on the tin.

    • Pupils are given 36 integers (a mixture of positives and negatives) and have to put the numbers into a 6 x 6 grid so that every row and column is in ascending order. This gives them plenty of practice of ordering negative numbers by size.

      Solving the puzzle requires experimentation, so when I have used this in my lessons, I’ve put the sheets in plastic wallets and let pupils write on top using a whiteboard pen.

      There are many possible solutions; I’ve provided one. However, the smallest number (-28) must always go in the top left corner, and the largest (18) must always go in the bottom right.

    • A set of cards with different sums on that students must at first calculate and then place in order. Ideal activity for students to work in pairs. Can be adapted to be made more easy or more difficult. Could also be printed off big and each calculation given to each student and they have to get themselves in order. Please take a look at my blog: http://mathsmakesmesmile.wordpress.com/ Thanks

      This relies on an understanding of the four operations with negative numbers but has a nice twist in that students must then arrange their answers in numerical order from smallest to biggest. If students can complete this task then they have well and truly boxed negative numbers off.

      Nice idea which works with the mulitplcation, division, subtraction and addition of negative numbers, as well as the ordering of negative numbers.
