This Positive & Negative Integers Number Cards resource provides a flexible and engaging way for students to practise naming, comparing, and ordering integers. The cards can be used in a variety of hands-on activities to build confidence in working with positive and negative numbers through sorting, ordering, and gameplay.

How to Complete:

After printing and cutting out the cards, use them to develop students’ understanding of integers in a variety of ways:

1. Students can order the cards along a large number line.
2. Students can compare pairs of cards and identify which has a greater value.
3. Students can use the cards as visual identification flashcards.
4. Students can play familiar games with the cards, such as go fish or snap. Please see the included instructions for further details.

Extension Ideas:

1. Create Your Own Integer Challenges: Have students write real-world scenarios that match given integer cards.
2. Integer Comparisons: Students compare two drawn cards and explain which is greater and why.
3. Negative Number Patterns: Ask students to arrange their cards in patterns, such as counting by twos or fives.

This resource includes printable integer cards and multiple engaging activity ideas to support student understanding of positive and negative numbers.
