This Grade 5 worksheet reinforces integer addition using arrows and number line jumps in clear visual examples. Students draw or imagine arrows showing direction and length, then combine positive and negative motions to find sums. Practice includes finding opposites, summing canceling integers, and explaining how arrows visually model integer operations across different starting points for confident Grade 5 mastery and growth.

Integers Introduction
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Adding -3 to 5 means jumping right three times because three is a counting number.
Rewrite: Adding -3 to 5 means jumping left three times because the integer is negative.
2. Fix the sentence:
The sum 6 plus -6 equals 12 since adding any two integers always grows the total.
Rewrite: The sum 6 plus -6 equals 0 because opposites cancel each other completely.
3. Fix the sentence:
An arrow showing -4 should point to the right toward larger positive integers.
Rewrite: An arrow showing -4 should point to the left toward smaller negative integers.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Drawing -2 plus -3 on a number line, you end at -5.
2. Starting at -1 and moving 4 right lands on 3.
3. The opposite of 0 is 0 because zero has no sign.
4. Adding 8 and -8 on a number line gives 0.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Describe how to use arrows to model 3 plus -7 on a number line.
Draw an arrow 3 units right from zero, then a 7-unit arrow left from there. The endpoint, -4, is the answer.
2. Why does -5 plus 5 always equal zero on a number line?
Moving 5 left then 5 right brings you back to start. The opposites perfectly cancel each other.
