Easy Level Worksheet Questions

Integers are whole numbers that include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. Understanding integer operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and their properties is fundamental for all advanced mathematics and real-world problem solving.

Let's start with basic integer concepts and simple operations.

1. Write all integers between –2 and 1.

Step 1: List numbers between -2 and 1 (not including -2 and 1)

Answer: -101-2 and 0-112

Perfect! The integers between -2 and 1 are -1 and 0.

__{.m-red}2. Fill in the blanks: 7 + (–3) = __

Step 1: When adding a negative number, we subtract its absolute value

Step 2: 7 + (-3) = 7 - 3 = 410-41

Excellent! Adding a negative is the same as subtracting the positive.

3. What is the additive inverse of –9?

Step 1: Additive inverse means the number that when added gives 0

Step 2: (-9) + ? = 0, so the answer is 9-9018

Great! The additive inverse of -9 is +9.

4. Write the successor of –1.

Step 1: Successor means the next number (add 1)

Step 2: Successor of -1 = -1 + 1 = 0-212

Perfect! Successor means the very next integer.

5. Write the predecessor of –1.

Step 1: Predecessor means the previous number (subtract 1)

Step 2: Predecessor of -1 = -1 - 1 = -20-31

Excellent! Predecessor means the integer just before.

6. Arrange the integers 0, –3, 4, –1, 2 in ascending order.

Step 1: Ascending order means from smallest to largest

Step 2: Order: -3-102 , -1-304 , 02-14 , 240-1 , 42-30

Outstanding! Remember: negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers.

7. Find: (–6) – (–4)

Step 1: Subtracting a negative number means adding the positive

Step 2: (-6) - (-4) = (-6) + 4 = -2-10210

Great! Subtracting a negative is like adding the positive.

8. What is the result of multiplying any number by 0?

Answer: 01The number itselfUndefined

Perfect! The zero property of multiplication: any number × 0 = 0.

__{.m-red}9. Fill in the blank: (–2) × (–5) = __

Step 1: When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive

Step 2: (-2) × (-5) = 10-107-7

Excellent! Negative × negative = positive.

10. The integer which is its own additive inverse is:

Step 1: We need a number where: number + additive inverse = 0

Step 2: Only 0 + 0 = 0, so the answer is 01-110

Perfect! Zero is the only number that is its own additive inverse.

1. Find the value of:

(a) (–8) + (–7) =

Step 1: When adding two negative numbers, add their absolute values and keep negative sign

Step 2: (-8) + (-7) = -(8 + 7) = -15151-1

(b) 13 + (–5) + (–4) =

Step 1: Group and calculate: 13 + (-5) + (-4) = 13 - 5 - 4

Step 2: 13 - 9 = 4-4225

Excellent! Remember to combine like signs and then add/subtract.

2. Subtract:

(a) 6 – (–2) =

Step 1: Subtracting a negative means adding the positive

Step 2: 6 - (-2) = 6 + 2 = 8410-4

(b) (–3) – 4 =

Step 1: Subtracting a positive from a negative

Step 2: (-3) - 4 = (-3) + (-4) = -771-1

Great! Subtraction: change the sign of the second number and add.

3. Evaluate:

(a) (–2) × 6 × (–1) =

Step 1: Count negative signs: 2 negative numbers

Step 2: Even number of negatives = positive result: 2 × 6 × 1 = 12-128-8

(b) 5 × (–2) × (–3) =

Step 1: Count negative signs: 2 negative numbers

Step 2: Even number of negatives = positive result: 5 × 2 × 3 = 30-3010-10

Perfect! Even number of negative factors gives positive result.

4. Find the quotient:

(a) (–36) ÷ 6 =

Step 1: Dividing negative by positive gives negative result

Step 2: (-36) ÷ 6 = -6630-30

(b) 64 ÷ (–8) =

Step 1: Dividing positive by negative gives negative result

Step 2: 64 ÷ (-8) = -88-5656

Excellent! Different signs in division give negative results.

5. Find the quotient:

(a) (–20) ÷ 4 =

Step 1: Negative ÷ positive = negative

Step 2: (-20) ÷ 4 = -5524-24

(b) (–18) ÷ (–6) =

Step 1: Negative ÷ negative = positive

Step 2: (-18) ÷ (-6) = 3-312-12

Perfect! Same signs in division give positive results.

Test your understanding with these multiple choice questions:

For each question, click on the correct answer:

1. The value of (–5) + (–6) is:

(a) 1 (b) –11 (c) –1 (d) 11

Correct! When adding two negative numbers, add their absolute values and keep the negative sign: (-5) + (-6) = -11.

2. Additive inverse of 7 is:

(a) 0 (b) –7 (c) 7 (d) –1

Correct! The additive inverse of 7 is -7 because 7 + (-7) = 0.

3. Product of two negative integers is:

(a) Positive (b) Negative (c) Zero (d) Can't say

Correct! When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is always positive.

4. 9 – (–6) =

(a) 15 (b) –3 (c) 3 (d) –15

Correct! 9 - (-6) = 9 + 6 = 15. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive.

5. (–2) × (–4) × (–5) =

(a) 40 (b) –40 (c) –20 (d) 20

Correct! Three negative numbers multiplied together: odd number of negatives gives negative result. 2 × 4 × 5 = 40, so (-2) × (-4) × (-5) = -40.
