-
recognise the location of negative whole numbers in relation to zero and place them on a number line
Top Marks Number Line Activities
BBC Negative Number Ordering Game
Ambleside Number lines
(Make a Line –
choose starting number and increments)
-
use the term 'integers' to describe positive and negative whole numbers and zero
BBC Negative Number Game

– Ordering (choose +/-)
Maths Balls
-
interpret integers in everyday contexts, eg temperature
Temperature (Reading Scales and Difference)
Temperature Game
-
investigate negative whole numbers and the number patterns created when counting backwards on a calculator
* recognise that negative whole numbers can result from subtraction (Reasoning)
BBC Negative Number Game
Pinata Game – negative numbers L2
(must play L1 first if unregistered)
CONTENT
Students:
Investigate everyday situations that use integers; locate and represent these numbers on a number line (ACMNA124)
OUTCOMES
A student:
› describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions MA3-1WM
› selects and applies appropriate problem-solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations MA3-2WM
› orders, reads and represents integers of any size and describes properties of whole numbers MA3-4NA
Whole Number 2
* ask 'What if' questions, eg 'What happens if we subtract a larger number from a smaller number on a calculator?' (Communicating)
Identify and describe properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers (ACMNA122)
-
determine whether a number is prime, composite or neither

Square Numbers Game
Triangular Numbers Game
* explain whether a whole number is prime, composite or neither by finding the number of factors, eg '13 has two factors (1 and 13) and therefore is prime', '21 has more than two factors (1, 3, 7, 21) and therefore is composite', '1 is neither prime nor composite as it has only one factor, itself' (Communicating, Reasoning)
