Artham Resources – Class VI Mathematics Notes, Chapter 10: The Other Side of Zero

Chapter 10 introduces learners to the fascinating world of integers, extending their number knowledge to include both positive and negative numbers. Students explore how numbers exist on both sides of zero on the number line, learning to represent and compare integers with clarity. The chapter explains basic operations—addition, subtraction, and simple applications of integers—through real-life contexts such as temperature changes, elevations below sea level, or financial gains and losses.

Artham Resources presents these notes in a clear, structured format with definitions, diagrams, solved examples, and guided practice exercises. Visual number line models and relatable examples make the abstract concept of negative numbers concrete and meaningful.

Aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023, the notes integrate activity-based learning such as number line games, temperature recording, or daily-life problem-solving tasks. This unit strengthens numerical fluency, reasoning, and application skills, making integers both practical and engaging.
