Bring math to life with Integers Task Cards. Students will practice positive and negative numbers through real-life situations that build confidence and number sense. Perfect for classrooms and homeschool learning.

These task cards will solidify your students’ understanding of integers through interesting and engaging questions. The real-world questions within these cards are relatable to students and will build number sense. There are a variety of graphs, tables, and number lines that students will interpret and fill out to answer questions on their recording sheet. 

Students will order integers, graph integers and their opposites on a number line, complete horizontal and vertical number lines, complete charts and tables, complete inequalities with positive and negative numbers, and reason the importance of zero through real-world questions.

The cards are scaffolded and get progressively harder as the card number increases, but students can answer the cards in any order. This set is designed to have cards placed throughout the room, have students answer a card at a time, and move to the next question. They could also be used in a more structured whole class way, such as a game of Scoot. Other ideas for use are for bell work, centers, partner work, fast finishers, or exit tickets.  

The students’ integer task card recording sheet is very organized and structured to promote student success. Blank number lines, graphs, charts, and other helpful images are provided to save students’ time. This allows them to focus their efforts on working through the desired content instead of spending time figuring out how to draw a chart. This is also helpful for students of all ability levels to find success. Student responses will inform you about areas students may be struggling with and need additional support.

Included in this resource is a digital version of the task cards. The Google Slides presentation can either be displayed whole group up on the screen or shared with students to have on their individual computers. The slideshow is set up so that card one is displayed on the screen, and the next slide has the answer to card one once you click an extra time. Then card two is on the next slide with the answer to card two on the following slide. This continues through all 24 task cards. Having the answer after each slide allows for students to have immediate feedback on their answer. The slideshow can be edited if you would like the slides arranged in a different order or format to meet your needs.
