This worksheet is designed using a gradual release approach to support students as they build confidence with adding and subtracting integers. The first problems model the rules for same sign and different sign integer operations, helping students see the thinking process before attempting problems on their own. As the worksheet progresses, students move from guided practice into more independent problem solving using strategies such as adding same signs, subtracting different signs, keeping the sign of the larger absolute value, and applying the “keep, change, change” rule for subtraction. This resource works well for middle school math lessons, math workshop rotations, guided practice, or homework, and is especially helpful for students who benefit from structured support that slowly fades.
