Integers Quiz
15 questions · free · new questions every attempt · Updated September 26, 2026
Integers are the whole numbers, positive, negative and zero. The sign rules trip up many students, but they follow a few simple patterns. This quiz drills adding, subtracting and multiplying integers plus absolute value, and every explanation shows the sign logic.
What this quiz covers
- Adding integers with the same and different signs
- Subtracting a negative number
- Multiplying integers and predicting the sign
- Absolute value
- Using a number line to check
- Recognising when an answer must be negative
How to prepare
Picture a number line. Adding a positive moves right; adding a negative moves left. Subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. For multiplication: same signs give a positive, different signs give a negative.
Sample questions with answers
These five questions show the style. Your quiz above will have different numbers each time.
- -2 + (7) = ?
Show answer
5. Combine -2 and 7: the result is 5.
- 5 − (-1) = ?
Show answer
6. Subtracting -1 is the same as adding 1: 5 + (1) = 6.
- (-9) × (-4) = ?
Show answer
36. 9 × 4 = 36, and the same signs give a positive.
- What is |-2| + |7|?
Show answer
9. |-2| = 2 and |7| = 7, so the sum is 9.
- -12 + (0) = ?
Show answer
-12. Combine -12 and 0: the result is -12.
Frequently asked questions
What is an integer?
A whole number that can be positive, negative or zero, such as −3, 0 and 12.
Why is a negative times a negative positive?
Because multiplying by a negative reverses direction, and reversing twice returns you to the positive side.
What is absolute value?
The distance of a number from zero, so |−5| = 5 and |5| = 5.
