Adding and Subtracting Integers on a Number Line
Six integer problems such as (-3) + 5 and 2 - 6, each with a -10 to 10 number line (negatives in blue, positives in red). Every problem starts or ends below zero, so students practice crossing zero by hopping right to add and left to subtract. A bridge from fifth grade to the sixth grade integer standards; the key shows the hops in red.

About this worksheet
Six integer problems such as (-3) + 5 and 2 - 6, each with a -10 to 10 number line (negatives in blue, positives in red). Every problem starts or ends below zero, so students practice crossing zero by hopping right to add and left to subtract. A bridge from fifth grade to the sixth grade integer standards; the key shows the hops in red. Fifth graders can use it to review before moving on to harder fraction work. Have your child say each fact out loud while writing the answer.
Tips for using it
- Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
- Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
- Use small objects like buttons or cereal to check tricky problems.
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
Printing tips
