Sample Grade 7 integers questions
Five questions of the kind the test asks. In the test itself every answer is marked straight away, with the working shown.
1. The temperature was −8 °C at 05:00 and 10 °C at 13:00. By how many degrees did it rise?
Show the answer
Answer: 18
From −8 up to 0 is 8 degrees, and from 0 up to 10 is 10 degrees. Together: 18 °C.
2. Put these in order from smallest to largest:
- −8 ; −9 ; −10 ; −13
- −13 ; −10 ; −9 ; −8
- −9 ; −8 ; −13 ; −10
- −10 ; −13 ; −9 ; −8
Show the answer
Answer: −13 ; −10 ; −9 ; −8
On a number line the smallest sits furthest left: −13 ; −10 ; −9 ; −8.
3. Calculate:
Show the answer
Answer: 10
Negative times negative gives positive: 10.
4. Calculate:
Show the answer
Answer: 14
−7 + 15 = 8. Subtracting (−6) means adding 6: 8 + 6 = 14.
5. Calculate:
Show the answer
Answer: -40
A negative times a positive gives a negative answer: −40.
