Introduction to Negative Numbers
Students start by understanding the concept of negative numbers through real-world contexts like temperatures below zero or elevations below sea level. They learn to identify and place negative numbers on a number line and perform simple arithmetic operations involving negative numbers. By Year 5, students are comfortable using negative numbers in a variety of mathematical operations and understand their applications in complex scenarios.
Simple Operations with Negative Numbers
Initially, students perform simple addition and subtraction with negative numbers, using number lines to visualise these operations. As they progress, they tackle multiplication and division, understanding how the signs of numbers affect the results. By Year 5, students handle operations involving negative numbers with confidence, applying these skills in algebraic expressions and equations.
Negative Numbers in Context
Students apply their understanding of negative numbers to contexts such as financial debts, below-zero temperatures, and elevations. They learn how negative numbers are used in calculations for sports statistics, economics, and science. By Year 5, they proficiently use negative numbers to analyse and solve problems in personal finance, meteorology, and other real-world applications.
