KSP Математика 6 grade: Положительные и отрицательные числа

Introduction

This Grade 6 Mathematics lesson plan on “Positive and Negative Numbers” helps teachers teach students to understand numbers above and below zero, compare them, and perform calculations.

Main material

Lesson objective: to develop understanding of positive and negative numbers and teach students to apply them in problem solving.

Expected outcomes:

students distinguish positive and negative numbers;
mark numbers on a number line;
perform addition and subtraction with negative numbers;
use knowledge to solve practical tasks.

Lesson structure:

Organization
Greeting.
Prior knowledge
Review number line, comparing numbers.
New topic
Positive numbers > 0, negative numbers < 0
Zero is the dividing point
Examples: -5, -2, 0, 3, 7
Comparison: -3 < 2, -1 > -4
Addition and subtraction with negative numbers: rules and examples
Practice
Mark -4, 0, 5, -2 on the line
Compute: -3 + 5, 7 - 10, -2 + (-3)
Practical problem: temperature at night -5°C, daytime +3°C. Find change in temperature.
Consolidation
Pair work: discuss solutions, check calculations.
Reflection
Discuss applications (temperature, finance, water levels).
Conclusion
Summary, brief feedback, mention results (5–10%).

Teaching methods: explanation, practical work, pair work, visualization, discussion.
