Use this page when you want 6th grade integers worksheets in the next thirty seconds: choose how many problems you want, press print, and the answer key comes out on its own page behind the worksheet. Right now the generator is set to problems such as (15) + (-5) (answer 10) and (-19) − (-2) (answer -17); press the button again and the numbers change while the skill stays the same.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
For multiplication and division the rule is mechanical: same signs give a positive, different signs give a negative. State it separately from the addition rules, or the two get blended and -17 comes out with the wrong sign.
A number line is the honest model here: adding moves right, subtracting moves left, and negative numbers simply start you left of zero.
Negative numbers break the rule that arithmetic makes things bigger, and that is the whole difficulty. Working (15) + (-5) to 10 means thinking about direction as well as size.
This sheet uses integers from −20 to 20, which keeps the arithmetic small so the sign rules get the attention.
In US classrooms these 6th grade integers worksheets are commonly aligned with the number system strand for grade 6, though the exact wording varies from state to state.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | (15) + (-5) = | 10 | Watch for: subtracting the smaller from the larger regardless of position |
| 2 | (-19) − (-2) = | -17 | Check: applying the multiplication sign rules to addition |
| 3 | (12) + (-19) = | -7 | Look at: dropping the sign in the answer |
| 4 | (-2) − (-2) = | 0 | Ask about: guessing on zero pairs |
| 5 | (-12) + (13) = | 1 | Watch for: treating a negative sign as belonging to the operation |
| 6 | (-3) − (-1) = | -2 | Check: misreading a double negative |
Work (-2) − (-2) out loud as a demonstration. It gives 0. Children who hear (-2) − (-2) reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.
A good first problem to do together is (15) + (-5), which comes out at 10. Do (15) + (-5) once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.
Keys are produced by the same code that produces the questions, so a mismatch between question and answer is not possible on these sheets.
The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.
If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 6th grade integers worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.
To save these 6th grade integers worksheets instead of printing them, choose 'Save as PDF' in the printer list. You get the worksheet and the answer key as a single PDF, on Letter or A4 depending on your printer settings.
One sheet of 6th grade integers worksheets a day for two weeks will tell you more about where a 6th grader actually stands than any single long assessment.
