Integers arrive in Ontario Grade 6 as positions on a number line, including below zero. Expectation B1.2 asks students to read and represent integers on horizontal and vertical number lines. This printable preview uses that line. Students find the integer halfway between 11 and 15, and halfway between −3 and 5. They decide which is less, −14 or −13, which is the comparison that catches students who still think 14 is the larger distance. They order 8, −5, and 4 from least to greatest. Absolute value appears as |−2|, and 9 − 14 is a subtraction that crosses zero. Multiplying negative numbers is later work. Comparing 0.593 and 0.566 is the decimals page, not this one.
