Integer Multiplication Worksheets — Negative Numbers Practice
Integer operations — working with negative numbers — are the gateway to algebra. These worksheets focus on multiplication of positive and negative integers, where the sign rules (positive × negative = negative, negative × negative = positive) are the core skill. The range control lets you keep numbers small for the first pass or widen them for fluency work.

Teaching tips for integers
- •Teach the sign rules as a short, memorable table: same signs → positive, different signs → negative. Drill the table before mixing it into computation.
- •Use a number line or temperature metaphor to make negative numbers concrete before applying the rules abstractly.
- •Keep the range tight (−10 to 10) while learning the rules; widen to −20 to 20 once sign handling is automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade are integer worksheets for?
Negative numbers are introduced in grade 6 (6.NS.C.6) and operations with integers are formalized in grades 6–7 (7.NS.A.1, 7.NS.A.2).
Why start with multiplication instead of addition?
Integer multiplication has a clean sign rule that students can verify with a number line. Integer addition with negatives is covered by the subtraction generator when you enable negative answers.
Can I print just problems for a quiz?
Yes — toggle off "Include answer key" for the quiz copy and print a second sheet with answers for quick grading.
