Our Year 5 maths topic this week is negative numbers. We have been learning about different temperatures across Europe and putting our negative number knowledge to good use whilst solving problems.
Yesterday we linked our topic of coal mining to negative numbers and the children worked really hard answering questions about travelling from ground level to the mine( -90m) and then travelling up to various escape routes (-40m, -20m). Well done all!
Why not have a little extra practise of negative numbers by trying one of the following web links:

The triple whammy of factsheet, game and worksheet provides an excellent revision of negative numbers:

You will need to put the next link into the browser at the top of the page for this next one to work.

Good Luck - let us know how you get on.
