5 day-plan(s) · WeLearn JA MATH T2 G6

Day 1: Introducing Integers

Grade 6 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 2 · 60 min
ObjectivesUnderstand positive and negative integers.
MaterialsNumber line, thermometer model
Key vocabularyinteger, positive, negative, zero
Engage (starter)"Below zero on the thermometer!"
Develop (main)Interactive: place integers on a horizontal and vertical number line; link to temperature and above/below sea level.
Plenary (close)Show -3 on the number line.
AssessmentCorrect placement.
Teacher notesZero separates positive and negative.

Day 2: Comparing and Ordering Integers

Grade 6 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 2 · 60 min
ObjectivesCompare and order integers.
MaterialsNumber line, integer cards
Key vocabularygreater, less, order, negative
Engage (starter)"Which is colder, -2 or -5?"
Develop (main)Interactive: order integer cards on a class number line; use the line to compare; discuss why -5 is less than -2.
Plenary (close)Order -3, 1, -6, 2.
AssessmentCorrect order.
Teacher notesFurther left means smaller.

Day 3: Adding Integers

Grade 6 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 2 · 60 min
ObjectivesAdd positive and negative integers.
MaterialsNumber line, two-colour counters
Key vocabularyadd, positive, negative, zero pair
Engage (starter)"Combine the counters and cancel pairs!"
Develop (main)Interactive: model addition with two-colour counters; cancel zero pairs; check moves on the number line.
Plenary (close)Solve -4 + 6.
AssessmentCorrect sums.
Teacher notesA positive and a negative make zero.

Day 4: Subtracting Integers

Grade 6 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 2 · 60 min
ObjectivesSubtract integers using models.
MaterialsNumber line, counters
Key vocabularysubtract, difference, opposite
Engage (starter)"Taking away can move us up!"
Develop (main)Interactive: model integer subtraction with counters and number-line jumps; connect subtracting to adding the opposite.
Plenary (close)Solve 3 - 5.
AssessmentCorrect differences.
Teacher notesUse the number line to visualise.

Day 5: Review: Integers

Grade 6 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 2 · 60 min
ObjectivesConsolidate integer comparison and operations.
MaterialsGames, real-context cards
Key vocabularyreview
Engage (starter)"Integer challenge - temperature and debt!"
Develop (main)Interactive: solve integer problems in temperature, elevation, and money contexts.
Plenary (close)Share a real integer example.
AssessmentPractice accuracy.
Teacher notesReal contexts make integers concrete.
