This Grade 5 worksheet introduces opposite integers and number line addition with friendly visuals throughout. Students learn that opposites like 5 and -5 sit equidistant from zero, then practice adding integers by moving right for positives and left for negatives. Short fills, sentence corrections, and brief explanations build solid foundations for signed number reasoning across upcoming Grade 5 lessons and standards.

Integers Introduction
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The opposite of -8 is also -8 because they look the same on paper.
Rewrite: The opposite of -8 is 8 because opposites are the same distance from zero.
2. Fix the sentence:
Starting at 0 and moving 4 left lands you on positive 4 on the number line.
Rewrite: Starting at 0 and moving 4 left lands you on -4 on the number line.
3. Fix the sentence:
The integer 0 has an opposite that equals positive 1 on every number line.
Rewrite: The integer 0 is its own opposite because zero has no sign or distance.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The opposite of 7 is -7 on a number line.
2. Starting at 0 and moving 3 units right lands on 3.
3. Starting at 2 and moving 5 units left lands on -3.
4. The opposite of -10 is 10 on the integer line.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Explain how to find the opposite of any integer using a number line.
Locate the integer, then find the point the same distance from zero on the other side. That point is the opposite.
2. Describe how to add 4 plus -6 by moving on a number line.
Start at 4, then move 6 units left because -6 is negative. You land on -2, the sum.
