This integer word-problem worksheet gives students practice applying positive and negative numbers to real-world situations. Students interpret each context, represent quantities and changes with integers, select an appropriate operation, and solve. The eight problems include applications involving money, temperature, scores, elevation, fundraising goals, water levels, field position, and account balances.
The activity develops integer reasoning rather than isolated computation. Students work with values above and below reference points, increases and decreases, credits and debts, and distances between positive and negative quantities. Several problems require students to distinguish between finding a new signed value and finding the positive distance between two integer values.
This resource works well for guided practice, independent practice, homework, intervention, review, or assessment. It connects integer operations to meaningful situations and helps students build the reasoning needed for later work with rational numbers, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, coordinate-plane distance, and other applications involving signed quantities.
