Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M7N08-C01Increasing order follows a number line from left to right. For negative numbers, larger absolute value means a smaller number.
- VC2M7N08-C02Representing and interpreting integer operations in a practical context.
- VC2M7N08-C03Add and subtract signed integers, follow several changes in order and reverse operations to recover an earlier value.
