Our Numeracy topic for this week is temperature and negative numbers. Your booklet is attached below. You don't need to print the booklet out - you can answer the questions in your books. 

 

Negative numbers are any numbers that are below zero e.g. -3. They are often used in the context of temperature (especially here in Northern Ireland as it's often very cold!).
