Adding Integers
Same signs add, different signs subtract — the sign follows the bigger.
Subtracting Integers
Every subtraction is an addition wearing a disguise.
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
Count the minus signs. Even means positive, odd means negative.
Absolute Value
Distance from zero — never negative, however negative the number is.
Ratios
Part to part, or part to whole — and why mixing them up changes the answer.
Unit Rate

Combining Like Terms
Only terms with identical variable parts can be added together.
The Distributive Property
Multiply everything inside the bracket — including the term you forget.

- What age is 6th Grade?
- 6th Grade is normally ages 11–12. The posters are chosen for what that year actually asks a child to remember rather than for a birthday, so a child working a year ahead or a year behind should take the set that matches the work, not the age.

- 6th Grade is Year 7 in England & Wales, Year 6 in Australia, Class 6 in India and MYP 1 in the IB. Whichever name your school uses, this page is the same set of 50 printable wall charts for ages 11–12.
- Which 6th Grade poster should I print first?
- Adding Integers, Subtracting Integers and Multiplying and Dividing Integers are the ones that get used daily at this stage. Start with those, then fill in the rest of the 6th grade wall as the year goes on.Adding IntegersSubtracting IntegersMultiplying and Dividing Integers
