Dive deeper into place value with this Year 5 Negative Numbers Discussion Problem. This resource features two questions that are designed to enable children to use their reasoning and problem-solving skills through conversation about their methods of working and their answers. An answer page that includes example answers is also provided, but your children may be able to find different ones too. We suggest letting your class mark their own work, or that of a partner, to promote even more discussion and self-correction.
