About this resource
This quiz focuses on integer operations, specifically addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers. The content is appropriate for grades 6-7, as it introduces foundational concepts of working with negative numbers through visual models like number lines and real-world contexts. Students need to understand the concept of additive inverses (opposites), recognize that adding two negative numbers results in a more negative sum, and master the critical skill of converting subtraction problems into equivalent addition problems by changing subtraction to addition and taking the opposite of the second number. The questions systematically build from basic addition of integers using number line visualization to more complex subtraction problems, requiring students to apply rules for integer operations and demonstrate conceptual understanding through multiple representations including algebraic expressions, visual models, and word problems involving real-world scenarios like test scores and football yardage. Created by Audrey Breda, a Mathematics teacher in US who teaches grade 6-7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing teachers to gauge student understanding of integer operations before moving to more advanced algebraic concepts. The variety of question formats makes it versatile for multiple instructional purposes: the visual number line problems work well as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge, while the procedural questions about rewriting subtraction as addition are perfect for guided practice during instruction. Teachers can assign this quiz as homework to reinforce classroom learning or use it as a review tool before summative assessments. The real-world application problems help students connect mathematical concepts to practical situations, making the content more meaningful and memorable. This assessment aligns with standards 6.NS.C.5, 6.NS.C.6, and 7.NS.A.1, which focus on understanding rational numbers, their opposites, and fluency with addition and subtraction of integers.
