Class 6 Mathematics

Chapter 6: Integers

STAGE 0: Foundation

In daily life, we see numbers below zero 😊

Examples:

  • Temperature below 0°C
  • Basement floors in buildings
  • Loss in business

Such numbers are called integers.

STAGE 1: Concepts Explained

What are Integers?

Integers are numbers that include:

  • Positive numbers
  • Negative numbers
  • Zero

Examples:

…, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …

Positive Integers

Numbers greater than zero are positive integers.

Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4

Negative Integers

Numbers less than zero are negative integers.

Examples: −1, −2, −3, −4

Zero

Zero is neither positive nor negative.

Number Line

Integers are shown on a number line.

  • Zero is at the centre
  • Positive numbers are on the right
  • Negative numbers are on the left

STAGE 2: Operations on Integers

Addition of Integers

Addition of integers can be understood using a number line.

Example:
(+3) + (−5)

Solution:
Start from 3, move 5 steps left.
Answer = −2

Subtraction of Integers

Subtraction means adding the opposite number.

Example:
5 − (−3)

Solution:
5 − (−3) = 5 + 3 = 8

STAGE 3: Practice Questions

1. Write any three negative integers.
2. Which is greater: −2 or −5?
3. Find: (−4) + 6
4. Find: 7 − (−2)
5. Show −3 on a number line.

STAGE 4: Quick Revision

  • Integers include negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers
  • Zero is neither positive nor negative
  • Positive numbers lie to the right of zero
  • Negative numbers lie to the left of zero
  • Number line helps understand operations
