Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Keystage:  KS2, Year 6


What are negative numbers? 

A negative number is a value that is less than zero. If you imagine a number line with zero in the middle, the positive numbers are to the right of the zero, and the negative numbers are to the left. 

Examples of negative numbers: -1, -2, -3, and so on. 

How will this worksheet help your child with negative numbers? 

This resource provides a clear explanation for how to add and subtract negative numbers, with colourful visuals to help your child understand these key mathematical rules. 

Your child will then have the opportunity to practise what they've learned with a series of sums that have missing numbers. There are also extra tips on how to play games that help consolidate this knowledge, so that they will feel confident with negative numbers. 

Created and checked by teachers, this resource is a fun and easy way to support learning at home. We also have plenty of number lines that you can stick up at home as a helpful tool for your child to refer to when completing their homework.
