Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about integers
Why are negative numbers so tricky in Year 7?
Students have spent six years working with only positive numbers, so the sign rules feel arbitrary - especially 'subtract a negative becomes plus'. The fix is repetition until the rules become automatic rather than something students try to reason through each time.
What's the difference between -3 - 5 and -3 - (-5)?
-3 - 5 means starting at -3 and going down 5, landing at -8. -3 - (-5) means starting at -3 and subtracting a negative, which is the same as adding 5, landing at +2. The double-negative is where most students slip.
Do students need to know integer multiplication in Year 7?
Year 7 focuses on addition and subtraction of integers. Multiplication and division of integers are formally introduced in Year 8, though many teachers preview them once addition and subtraction are solid.
What's a quick check students can use on integer answers?
If the question involves more negatives than positives in the calculation, the answer should usually be negative - and vice versa. A quick sign-check catches about half of all integer errors before they leave the page.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
