Sheet 1
Number Line - Subtracting Integers

Example 1: –2 – 1 = –3 Example 2: 2 – (–2) = 4

–1 – (– 2)

–4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4

Use the number line to find the difference.

1) 1 – 10 =

–9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

2) 0 – (–7) =

–9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

3) –6 – 2 =

–9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4) 5 – 4 =

–9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

5) –8 – (–3) =

–9 –8 –7 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
