By the end of this lesson, students will be able to relate integers, their opposites, and their absolute values.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will:
1. Identify integers on a number line
2. Determine the opposite of any integer
3. Calculate the absolute value of integers
4. Explain the relationship between an integer, its opposite, and its absolute value

# data[].attributes.body
How are integers, their opposites, and absolute values related in real-world situations?

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss how temperatures can be positive or negative, introducing the concept of integers. Use a thermometer to show opposite temperatures (e.g., -5°C and 5°C) and their distance from 0 (absolute value).

# data[].attributes.body
Explain:
1. Integers are whole numbers including zero and their negatives
2. Opposite integers have the same absolute value but different signs
3. Absolute value is the distance from zero on a number line

Welcome to the integers worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where you may have a negative experience, but in the world of integers, that's a good thing! This page includes Integers worksheets for comparing and ordering integers, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers and order of operations with integers.

If you've ever spent time in Canada in January, you've most likely experienced a negative integer first hand. Banks like you to keep negative balances in your accounts, so they can charge you loads of interest. Deep sea divers spend all sorts of time in negative integer territory. There are many reasons why a knowledge of integers is helpful even if you are not going to pursue an accounting or deep sea diving career. One hugely important reason is that there are many high school mathematics topics that will rely on a strong knowledge of integers and the rules associated with them.

We've included a few hundred integers worksheets on this page to help support your students in their pursuit of knowledge. You may also want to get one of those giant integer number lines to post if you are a teacher, or print off a few of our integer number lines. You can also project them on your whiteboard or make an overhead transparency. For homeschoolers or those with only one or a few students, the paper versions should do. The other thing that we highly recommend are integer chips a.k.a. two-color counters. Read more about them below.
