Grade 6 Negative Numbers Practice Test

Build Grade 6 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on integers, number lines, comparisons, absolute value, operations, equations, and real-world problems.

Negative Numbers Practice Tests

These Grade 6 Math practice tests help students work with integers below and above zero. Students practice number-line position, opposites, comparison, ordering, absolute value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, equations, and real-world changes involving temperature, balance, elevation, and movement.

Skills covered

  • Locating positive and negative integers on a number line
  • Comparing, ordering, and finding opposites of integers
  • Using absolute value as distance from zero
  • Adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers
  • Multiplying and dividing integers with sign rules
  • Solving simple equations with integers
  • Interpreting temperature, balance, elevation, score, debt, and movement situations

How to use these practice tests

Use the number line to track direction and distance. Remember that moving right increases a value and moving left decreases it. For operations, keep the sign rules visible, interpret subtraction of a negative as addition, and check answers against the real-world context.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which type of integer is less than zero?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A negative integer.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: Negative integers are located to the left of zero on a number line and are less than zero.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

Negative integers are located to the left of zero on a number line and are less than zero.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which number is greater: −3-3 or 22?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 22.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: Every positive number is greater than every negative number, so 2 is greater than −3-3.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

Every positive number is greater than every negative number, so 2 is greater than −3-3.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the opposite of −7-7?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 77.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: The opposite is the same distance from zero on the other side: the opposite of −7-7 is 77.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

The opposite is the same distance from zero on the other side: the opposite of −7-7 is 77.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which list is ordered from least to greatest?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is −5<−1<0<3-5 < -1 < 0 < 3.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: On a number line, numbers farther left are smaller, so −5<−1<0<3-5 < -1 < 0 < 3.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

On a number line, numbers farther left are smaller, so −5<−1<0<3-5 < -1 < 0 < 3.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the absolute value of −9-9?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 99.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: Absolute value measures distance from zero, and the distance of −9-9 from zero is 9.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

Absolute value measures distance from zero, and the distance of −9-9 from zero is 9.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which integer represents 4 units below zero?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is −4-4.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: Below zero means moving left four units, which gives −4-4.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

Below zero means moving left four units, which gives −4-4.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which integer lies between −2-2 and 11?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is −1-1.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: The integer −1-1 is greater than −2-2 and less than 1.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

The integer −1-1 is greater than −2-2 and less than 1.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which temperature is warmer: −6∘-6^\circ or −2∘-2^\circ?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is −2∘-2^\circ.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: On a number line, −2-2 is to the right of −6-6, so it is warmer.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

On a number line, −2-2 is to the right of −6-6, so it is warmer.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the additive inverse of 88?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is −8-8.

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: The additive inverse is the opposite number, and 8+(−8)=08 + (-8) = 0.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

The additive inverse is the opposite number, and 8+(−8)=08 + (-8) = 0.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement about zero is true?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Zero is neither positive nor negative..

  1. Locate the integer: Identify the sign, distance from zero, and context of the number.
  2. Apply the integer rule: Zero is the boundary between positive and negative numbers, so it is neither.
  3. Check the direction and size: Use a number line or a real-world interpretation to confirm the result.

Zero is the boundary between positive and negative numbers, so it is neither.
