Task A
1. Match each diagram with one of the calculations,
write the calculation in the space beneath the
diagram.
2. Write the answer to the calculation after the equals
sign.
3. Check that the answer matches what you see in the
drawing.
(+5) – (+2) =
(+5) + (+2) =
(+5) + (-2) =
(-5) – (-2) =
(-5) + (-2) =
(-5) + (+2) =
Task B
Draw diagrams to represent the following calculations.
(-2) + (-4) =
(+ 4) + (-5) =
(+ 7) + (-3) =
(+8) - (+ 3) =
(-8) + (- 3) =
(-6) + (+3) =
Task B
Now draw diagrams to represent your own calculations.

Do you agree that this is still (+2)?
How can I draw (+2) – (+5)?
How can I take away (+5)?
How can I draw (+2) – (+5)?
(+2) – (+5) =
How can I draw (+2) – (+5)?
(+2) – (+5) = (-3)
Task C
1. Match each diagram with one of the calculations,
write the calculation in the space beneath the
diagram.
2. Write the answer to the calculation after the equals
sign.
3. Check that the answer matches what you see in the
drawing.
(+2) - (+5) =
(-2) - (-5) =
(+5) - (-2) =
(-2) - (+5) =
