Negative numbers in context
In this lesson, we will interpret negative numbers in a variety of contexts and explore movement on an 'extended' number line.

Order and absolute value
In this lesson, we will learn to interpret the absolute value of a number and understand how to order negative numbers using inequality notation.
Modelling Addition
In this lesson, we will be able to model addition of a positive number as a translation on the number line and use this model to develop strategies for addition.
Further Addition
In this lesson, we will learn how to model addition of a negative number as a translation on the number line and explore what happens when two additive inverses are added together.
Subtracting positive numbers
In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between subtracting positive numbers and adding additive inverses.
Subtracting negative Numbers
In this lesson, we will explore subtracting negative numbers as the addition of the additive inverse.
Multiplication as scaling
In this lesson, we will explore multiplication involving at least one positive number and learn how it is possible to visualise multiplication as a stretch by a scale factor.
Negative scale factors
In this lesson, we will learn about negative scale factors and explore the commutativity of multiplication.
Further multiplication
In this lesson, we will investigate how to find the product of two negative numbers.
Division
In this lesson, we will explore a model for division involving counting backwards and analysing a number line.
Further division
In this lesson, we will derive further division facts using 'fact families'.
Axioms and negative numbers
In this lesson, we will practise negative number calculations, linking them to axioms like commutativity and associativity.
