In this Year 5 Compare and Order Negative Numbers Discussion Problem, children must complete the diagram involving inequality symbols using a range of positive and negative numbers. Our discussion problems promote reasoning and problem-solving skills through group work. An answer sheet is also included, which provides an example answer for the problem, though more than one answer may be possible. Allowing children to mark their own work could help them to develop their self-correction skills.
