Exploring Integers - Presentation
This presentation introduces students to negative integers in real world situations, and teaches them to conceptualise them using a number line and cartesian planes.
This presentation is part of a larger Year 6 unit which helps students develop their understanding of integers, specifically negative integers, and how they are used in everyday calculations.

Learning goals
- We are learning to use, locate and represent integers on number lines, Cartesian planes, thermometers and in profit and loss.
- We are learning to investigate everyday situations that use integers, e.g. temperatures, and to locate and represent these numbers on a number line.
