Assumed knowledge
Background
Half of this Unit is devoted to Number and half to Algebra.
Lessons 1.1 and 1.2 focus on addition and subtraction of
integers, and thus provide a foundation for collecting like
terms in Algebra. Tests for divisibility are rehearsed again
in Lesson 1.3; they are used frequently throughout the
course, particularly in the study of multiples, factors and
primes in Unit 8.
Lessons 1.4 to 1.6 focus on sequences. Pupils met simple
number sequences in Year 7. Here they explore sequences
generated in practical contexts by making and drawing
sequences of patterns and describing how the pattern
grows, including square and triangular numbers. Pupils
generate sequences given the first term and a term-toterm rule (add, multiply, subtract or divide). In Lesson 1.6
they identify the term-to-term rule of a linear sequence
by looking at the differences between consecutive terms,
and use this pattern to find any term in the sequence.
Before starting this Unit, pupils should:
G be able to recognise positive and negative
numbers
G be able to rapidly recall the halves of numbers up
to 100 and beyond
G be able to follow the order of arithmetic operations
G be familiar with square numbers and the notation
for squaring
G know that 3 3 3 3 4 3

Introduction
Pupils were introduced to the addition of positive
and negative integers in Year 7. In this lesson,
they practise addition by visualising it as a move,
or ‘jump’, along a number line. They also practise
using the sign change key on a calculator when
adding a mix of positive and negative integers.

Teaching activity
Teacher materials:
OHT of the number line from Resource sheet 1
OHP calculator, or a calculator on a whiteboard
Pupil materials:
Calculators, number lines from Resource sheet 1 (if these are stuck on card, a
rubber band can be wrapped around the number line and used to indicate
positions)
Outline
Display the 20-point number line from Resource sheet 1.
Write these numbers on the board: 4, 3, 5, 0, 6.
What type of numbers are these? (Positive and negative whole numbers, or
integers) If necessary, remind pupils that positive and negative whole
numbers, together with zero, are called integers, and that the raised
signs are used to avoid confusion with the operations of addition and
subtraction.
Choose two numbers on the line to be added, for example 5 and 4.
Write: 5 4 , and invite answers. (1) Remind pupils that they can
use a number line to help them to add integers. The method is as follows:
On the number line, locate the first number in the addition. Start
from that point.
If the second number in the addition is positive, move to the right.
(Adding a positive makes a number higher.)
If the second number in the addition is negative, move to the left.
(Adding a negative makes a number lower.)

For each lesson in the Pupil Book, there is a corresponding double page spread in
the Teacher’s book for ease of use.
Discuss how the negative sign is shown on the calculator, and the fact
that there is no equivalent sign to denote a positive number.
Repeat the whole process for different additions, for example 3 6
and 7 5. Pupils can use their number lines to help. Include at least
one ‘missing number’ calculation, for example 1 … 6.
Extend to adding more than two integers, for example 4 2 5.
Pupils can use their number lines to add the first two numbers, and then
add the third number to the result. They use their calculators to check.
Variations
Write each integer from 10 to 10 on separate pieces of card. Give each
of ten pupils one of the integer cards. Select pairs of pupils to hold up
their numbers, and ask the class to decide on the total.
Extend to discussing which pairs will have a total of 1, a total of less
than 6, a total of more than 6, and so on.

Introduction
Pupils were introduced to the subtraction of
positive and negative integers in Year 7. Here
they develop and practise the method of
subtraction that is based on converting a
subtraction into an addition of the inverse. They
use calculators to confirm their answers and to
practise the use of the sign change key.

Outline
Display the 20-point number line and write on the board: 7 4 .
Establish that this can be interpreted as ‘Find the difference between 4
and 7’, or ‘What number must be added to 4 to make 7?’ Use the
number line to demonstrate that to get from 4 to 7 requires a move
(or jump) of 3, so 7 4 3.
Write on the board: 4 2 = . Elicit that this can be interpreted as
‘What number must be added to 2 to make 4?’ Choose a pupil to
locate 2 on the number line, and to demonstrate the move required to
reach 4 (moving six places to the left, or adding 6). Complete the
subtraction: 4 2 6.

Repeat this method for two other subtractions, for example

subtracting a negative from a negative can lead to a positive answer.
Focus their attention on the number line and the move required to find
the difference between the two numbers in the subtraction.
Remind pupils that one method of subtracting integers is to convert the
subtraction into an addition of its inverse.
Write: 4 2 6. Alongside it write: 4 2 = . Explain that 2 is the
inverse of 2. What else can you say about these two calculations? (The
starting number is the same in both cases; one is a subtraction and the other is
an addition; the first calculation involves subtracting 2 and the second
involves adding the inverse of 2, …) If no-one mentions that the answers
are the same, complete the second calculation together and draw
pupils’ attention to that fact.

Introduction
Pupils studied tests of divisibility in Year 7. This
lesson reviews tests for divisibility by numbers
from 2 to 10, and the relationships between
them. It begins to extend the list of known tests
to include some for numbers greater than 10.

Teaching activity
Outline
Start to draw a divisibility test table on the board
or OHP.
Check that pupils can explain the term ‘is divisible
by’. How can we tell whether one number is divisible
by another? (There are different tests to carry out; for
example, if a number is even, it is divisible by 2.)
Write and circle ten numbers on the board or OHP,
e.g. 48, 52, 63, 104, 172, 85, 96, 112, 18, 240.
Which of these numbers are divisible by 2? (All except
63 and 85 are even and so are divisible by 2.) Choose a
pupil to list them in the table.
How can we check whether a number is divisible by 4?
(Halve it and see if the answer is even.) Which of the
numbers are divisible by 4? (48, 52, 96, 104, 112, 172,
240) Choose a pupil to write them in the table.
Establish that an alternative test for divisibility by
4 is to see whether the last two digits of the
number are a multiple of 4. If the last two digits are
divisible by 4, then the whole number is divisible by 4.
(You might like to make the link with testing to see
whether a year will be a leap year or not.)

How can we test for divisibility by 8? (First halve the
number and test the resulting answer for divisibility by
4.) Which of the numbers on the board are divisible by
8? (48, 96, 104, 112, 240)
Next check for divisibility by 3, 6 and 9. How can we tell whether a number is
divisible by 3? (If the sum of its digits is divisible by 3, then the number is
divisible by 3.) What about a divisibility test for 6? (Every even number that is
divisible by 3 will also be divisible by 6.) You may wish to list the first few
multiples of 3 and of 6 to confirm this. Can you tell me the divisibility test for
9? (If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.)
Invite a pupil to list the numbers that are divisible by 5 and by 10 in the
table and ask the class to check they are correct. How do you know?

Finally, consider divisibility by 7. There is no
simple test to check for this, but one method is to
use near known multiples of 7. For example, 140 is
known as a multiple of 7, and 172 is 32 more; 32 is
not divisible by 7 so 172 is not divisible by 7.

Discuss the fact that divisibility by 6 or 9 implies

divisibility by 2 and by 4.
Discuss tests for divisibility by larger numbers, for
example by 12 (must pass the tests for 3 and for 4),
by 14 (must pass the tests for 2 and for 7) and by
15 (must pass the tests for 3 and for 5).

Ask pupils to find three different numbers, each between 200 and 300,
which pass the test for divisibility by 3. Repeat this process for
divisibility by each of the numbers from 4 to 10.

Explain to pupils that in this lesson they will be drawing sequences of
patterns.
Show the first pattern from Resource sheet 2 on the OHP.
Ask pupils, working in pairs or small groups, to make the first pattern
with counters. Now make the second pattern. How many counters did you
need to add to make the second pattern? (4) Repeat for the third pattern. Can
you explain how the pattern is growing? (Add 4 counters each time, one to each
‘leg’.) How many counters are there in the third pattern? (13) How many
counters will there be in the fourth pattern? (17) Make the pattern and check.
The numbers of counters in the patterns make a sequence. We can write the
number sequence in a table. Draw the table on the board and ask pupils
for the values to write in. They could make the fifth pattern to check
that it has 21 counters.

Show the third pattern from Resource sheet 2 on the OHP.
Ask pupils to copy the first three patterns on squared paper, and then
draw the fourth and fifth patterns. Confirm that the number sequence
is 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, … and that the pattern grows by adding 3 counters
each time, one to each ‘leg’. Ask pupils to describe the number
sequence by giving the first term (1) and the term-to-term rule (add 3).
