Children can be quite... what's the word? Not very positive towards negative numbers. But it might be because they just don't quite understand negative numbers yet! Well, this Year 5 Negative Numbers activity will help turn those frowns upside-down. It's a hands-on and practical approach to negative numbers that is used in pairs or as a small-group intervention. Instructions are provided, as is a list of required resources (so make sure to check!), so any supporting adult can deliver the support confidently.
