Substituting into Expressions using Negative Numbers WORKSHEET

Broken up into six different sections, this worksheet provides ample practice of substituting positive and negative integers into expressions containing up to two variables.

In section A, students are given a value for a and b (one positive and one negative) and will substitute these into expressions such as 3b. Section B is similar, however, this time, both a and b are assigned negative values.

Sections C and D contain expressions involving addition and subtraction and include numerical terms.

Students will have to consider the correct order of operations to complete sections E and F, where expressions are made up of up to three terms and three operations.
