Free 6th Grade Multiplying and Dividing Integers Worksheets

The worksheet generator on this page produces 6th grade multiplying integers worksheets with real, freshly randomised numbers — 20 of them per sheet by default — plus the answer key a parent or teacher needs to mark it quickly. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is (-55) ÷ (11), which works out to -5; another is (-80) ÷ (10), giving -8.

📄 6TH GRADE MULTIPLYING INTEGERS WORKSHEETS — A NEW SHEET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON
🎲 New set of problems

‘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.

What you are practising here

Subtracting a negative is the step that needs its own explanation. Removing a debt leaves you better off, which is why the two minus signs turn into a plus.

Because the numbers regenerate, the sign combination changes every problem rather than settling into a run.

A number line is the honest model here: adding moves right, subtracting moves left, and negative numbers simply start you left of zero.

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 -8 comes out with the wrong sign.

These 6th grade multiplying integers worksheets are commonly aligned with the number system strand for grade 6, and the skill appears in most curricula somewhere around this point.

Sample problems from the current sheet

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (factors from −12 to 12).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
1(-55) ÷ (11) =-5Watch for: treating a negative sign as belonging to the operation
2(-80) ÷ (10) =-8Check: guessing on zero pairs
3(-11) × (-10) =110Look at: applying the multiplication sign rules to addition
4(40) ÷ (4) =10Ask about: subtracting the smaller from the larger regardless of position
5(-32) ÷ (-8) =4Watch for: dropping the sign in the answer
6(49) ÷ (-7) =-7Check: misreading a double negative

Start with one worked example

The item (-80) ÷ (10) is worth doing slowly. The answer to (-80) ÷ (10) is -8, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, (-55) ÷ (11). Work (-55) ÷ (11) out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against -5 on the key before moving on.

Where children usually slip up

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. Run the sheet at the same time each day. Ten focused minutes before dinner beats an hour on Sunday, because multiplying and dividing integers is a recall skill: (-55) ÷ (11) has to arrive without being worked out, and recall is built by frequency.
  2. If two days in a row come out under 12 minutes with everything correct, that is the signal to move up: either numbers bigger than (-55) ÷ (11) uses, or the next skill in the sequence.
  3. Mark it together straight away while the working is still fresh, so a slip like the one behind (-11) × (-10) can be talked through instead of guessed at.
  4. Write the finish time and the score at the top of every sheet. Two weeks of those two numbers tells you more about progress on multiplying and dividing integers than any single test result.
  5. Keep the session to about 12 minutes. A 6th grader who is still counting on fingers will need longer than that on a line like (-55) ÷ (11), and that is fine: the timer is a measurement, never a punishment.

About the answer key

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — (-55) ÷ (11) is listed as -5, (-80) ÷ (10) as -8, and so on down the page.

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.

Printing on US Letter or A4

To save these 6th grade multiplying 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.

Printing works the same on US Letter and A4, because the layout uses relative widths rather than fixed inches. Set margins to default and scaling to 100%, and all 20 problems fit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the answer key included?
Yes, on its own page behind the worksheet. For the sheet loaded right now it shows -5 for (-55) ÷ (11) and -8 for (-80) ÷ (10).
When do students first meet negative numbers?
Usually around grade six, though temperature and elevation introduce the idea informally much earlier.
Can I change how many problems are on the page?
Yes — the generator takes 10, 20 or 30 problems. Twenty is the default because it fits one page and suits a 12-minute drill.
Is a number line still useful at this level?
Yes, for addition and subtraction — it makes direction visible. For multiplication and division the sign rules are quicker.
