About

This quiz focuses on integer operations, specifically addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers, which is a foundational topic in 7th grade mathematics. The questions assess students' understanding of multiple key concepts: subtracting negative numbers and recognizing this as equivalent to addition, adding integers with like and unlike signs, evaluating expressions with multiple operations, and interpreting integer operations on number lines. Students must demonstrate fluency with integer rules, particularly understanding that subtracting a negative number equals adding its positive counterpart, and that when adding integers with different signs, they find the difference and take the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. The quiz also requires students to compare expressions to determine greatest value and match visual number line representations with corresponding algebraic expressions. Created by Mary Peres-Da-Silva, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the integer operations unit. Teachers can deploy it as a diagnostic tool during warmups to gauge student readiness, as guided practice during instruction to reinforce key concepts, or as formative assessment to identify areas needing reteaching before moving to more complex rational number operations. The variety of question formats—from direct computation to number line interpretation to expression matching—makes it ideal for differentiated review sessions or homework assignments that build computational fluency. The quiz aligns with standards 7.NS.A.1 and 7.NS.A.1c, which require students to apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers, and specifically to understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse.
