About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use positive and negative numbers to represent opposite changes in money and supplies.
  • Students interpret signed differences from a repair-time target.
  • Students explain what zero means in different business records.

How to use

Have students read each record's sign convention before answering. Discuss why zero can mean no change or exactly meeting a target, rather than having nothing.

Common Core standard covered
