Opposite Numbers

Help your students build their number sense with this sixth-grade worksheet that explores opposite numbers! In this math worksheet, an opposite of a number is the number that is the same distance from 0 but on the opposite side of the number line. Learners explore this concept as they find opposites of positive and negative numbers both with and without number lines. This exercise is a great first step in helping students understand the concept of absolute value and the differences between finding the opposite of a number and the absolute value of a number.
