Vertical Negative Number Worksheets
Demystify integers with free negative number worksheets. Students determine the value of negative numbers on number lines, add and subtract with negatives, multiply and divide signed numbers, and explore absolute value. Every worksheet prints as a PDF with an answer key in multiple versions and can be completed digitally - no login or account needed. Modified versions provide fewer problems for students still building confidence, and the grading column plus quick grade scale make grading painless. Aimed at 6th and 7th grade, these integer worksheets give students the foundation they need before algebra.
About these worksheets
Students practice adding and subtracting with negative numbers. Worksheets include using helper number lines, computing with positive and negative integers, adding and subtracting to zero, working with rational numbers as decimals, and showing distance on a number line. Aligned with seventh grade number system standards.
