6th - 6th Grade

Mathematics

Computation with Integers is a Grade 6 mathematics worksheet that develops fluency with the signs of integer expressions. Across 20 questions—one multiple-select item and 19 multiple-choice items—students identify expressions with negative values and determine whether sums, products, and quotients are positive or negative. The questions emphasize adding two negative numbers and applying sign rules when multiplying or dividing positive and negative integers. This worksheet is useful for introducing or reviewing integer computation before students solve more complex numerical expressions. Its focused answer choices help teachers check whether students understand sign patterns rather than relying on guesswork about which number is larger. Use it for independent practice, a quick formative assessment, small-group review, or homework. It is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key, making it straightforward to check student understanding of integer sign rules.

FAQs

What does the Computation with Integers worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 worksheet practices determining whether integer expressions have positive or negative values. Its 20 items—one multiple-select question and 19 multiple-choice questions—focus on adding two negative integers and applying sign rules to multiplication and division with positive and negative integers.

How can I use this worksheet to teach integer sign rules?

Introduce the worksheet by modeling a few sign patterns: adding two negative numbers produces a negative result, while multiplying or dividing integers with unlike signs produces a negative result and like signs produce a positive result. Then have students explain why they selected each sign in the multiple-choice items, using the multiple-select question as a discussion prompt about how an expression’s signs determine its value.

What mistakes should I watch for on this integer computation worksheet?

Watch for students choosing a sign based on which number is larger instead of applying the operation’s sign rule, especially in multiplication and division questions. Students may also incorrectly mark the sum of two negative numbers as positive or select only one response on the multiple-select item when more than one expression has a negative value.

How do I assign and grade the Computation with Integers worksheet?

On Wayground, you can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for checking the 20 responses. Printable submissions can also be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.

How can I differentiate this integer signs worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the sign-focused multiple-choice items are easier to read. You can also select a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those file-level options support your learners.
