compare, order and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of integers

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using less-than and greater-than notation in expressions when comparing and ordering integers; for example, negative \(5\) is less than positive \(2\) and can be represented as \((\)-\(5)\leq(\)+\(2);\;(\)-\(3)\geq(\)-\(6)\)
• discussing language such as “addition”, “subtraction”, “magnitude”, “difference”, “sign” and synonyms of these terms
• ordering, adding and subtracting integers using a number line
