Increasing Integers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on the concept of integers in mathematics. It presents a series of problems where students are asked to arrange sets of integers in increasing order. Each problem lists a sequence of positive and negative whole numbers, and the task is to rewrite them following the correct numerical sequence from the smallest to the largest value. The numbers are mixed, with no apparent pattern to the order in which they’re listed, providing a challenge to students’ understanding of numerical value.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to identify and order integers on a number line conceptually. It reinforces the understanding that negative numbers are less than positive numbers and provides practice in comparing the magnitude of a variety of integers. By arranging these numbers in increasing order, students learn to evaluate and rank integers by size. This skill is fundamental in math, as it is the basis for more advanced operations involving integers and other number sets.
