Understanding Integers Through Temperature
View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This worksheet allows students to develop their understanding of negative integers and calculating space between positive and negative integers by focusing on temperature. To complete the worksheet students will need to know their current local temperature, which you can access online, or measure in your classroom using a thermometer.

This worksheet 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.
