7th - 7th Grade
Mathematics
This Grade 7 mathematics worksheet gives students focused practice adding positive and negative integers. Across 20 multiple-choice questions, students solve sums involving two positive integers, two negative integers, and integers with opposite signs, including examples such as 4 + (-2), -5 + (-7), and -9 + 14. The answer choices require students to attend to both the numerical value and its sign. The worksheet is useful for independent practice, math centers, homework, or a quick check of integer-addition fluency after instruction. Students strengthen their ability to determine whether the result is positive or negative and select the correct sum from four options. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient review and grading. It is designed for Grade 7 learners who are developing accuracy with integer addition and need repeated practice across different number combinations.

This Grade 7 worksheet covers adding integers with the same sign and with opposite signs through 20 multiple-choice questions. Students solve sums such as -6 + 5, -5 + (-7), and 25 + (-10), then use the answer choices to check both the value and sign of each result.
Before students begin, model one same-sign example, such as -5 + (-7), and one opposite-sign example, such as -9 + 14. Ask students to identify the signs, compare the absolute values when the signs differ, and explain why the final sign is positive or negative before completing the multiple-choice items independently.
Watch for students choosing the sign-reversed distractor, such as 12 instead of -12 for -5 + (-7), or adding absolute values without considering the signs. In opposite-sign items such as -22 + 7, students may subtract in the wrong order or attach the sign to the smaller absolute value; have them identify which integer has the greater absolute value.
