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.
