Teach integers through real-world financial contexts with this comprehensive and editable 27-slide teacher presentation, designed to explicitly teach how positive and negative numbers can be used to represent income, expenses, profit and loss.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, this teacher slide deck provides a scaffolded pathway from explicit teacher modelling to guided exploration and supported application. Students investigate authentic financial scenarios, represent gains and losses using integers and number lines, and develop an understanding of how financial outcomes relate to zero.

These teacher slides can be used independently. Note: Where the teacher slides reference printable independent activities, these are available in the full lesson bundle.

Through modelled examples, collaborative discussion and structured learning experiences, students calculate income and expenses, determine profit, loss and break-even, interpret financial information presented in tables and number lines, and explain their mathematical reasoning using appropriate mathematical language.

What's included in this teacher slide deck?

• 27 editable PowerPoint slides following the I Do, We Do, You Do lesson structure
• Clear learning intentions and success criteria focused on calculating income, expenses, profit, loss and break-even
• Explicit teaching and modelled examples using integers and number lines in financial contexts
• Guided practice tasks exploring real-world scenarios such as bake sales and fundraising events
• Interactive check-in questions to monitor understanding throughout the lesson
• Opportunities for students to explain and justify their reasoning using financial language and visual representations

Perfect for upper primary classrooms, this editable teacher slide deck develops students' understanding of integers by connecting mathematical concepts to authentic financial situations. Students build confidence interpreting positive and negative numbers, calculating financial outcomes, and applying their understanding through engaging, real-world examples.
