Introduction to Integers
Students start by understanding integers as a set of whole numbers including negative numbers. They explore the number line to understand positive and negative values. By Year 5, they confidently work with integers in various mathematical operations and contextual applications.
Adding and Subtracting Integers
Beginning with simple addition and subtraction on the number line, students learn to perform these operations with integers. They use practical scenarios to apply adding and subtracting integers, such as temperature changes and financial transactions. By Year 5, they handle complex problems involving integers, enhancing their operational skills.
Simple Problems Involving Integers
Initially, students solve basic arithmetic problems using integers, focusing on understanding how integers interact in operations. By Year 5, they engage in more sophisticated problems that require logical reasoning and apply their integer arithmetic skills in contexts like algebra and coordinate geometry.
