Getting your head around negative numbers can be tough. Applying that knowledge can be even trickier. That's why we've put so much thought into our Year 5 Negative Numbers differentiated worksheets! As a teacher, the three levels of differentiation give options to tailor the work for your class and for children, the selection of problem-solving and reasoning questions on each sheet provide the perfect opportunity to practise their skills.

With answer sheets provided (to make things easier for you, or to enable self and peer review) and work that is just as happily done at home as in school, this pack is designed to make everyone positive about negatives!
