Integer Multiplication Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets that help children multiply positive and negative integers with accurate sign rules and clear reasoning.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the sign rule
These printable Class 6 Mathematics worksheets focus on Integer Multiplication within the Integers chapter. Children practise finding products when factors are positive, negative, or a mix of both, while strengthening their understanding of how signs affect an answer.
The activities include direct computation, sign-rule practice, missing-factor questions, and short reasoning tasks. They are designed to help learners move from repeated patterns to confident multiplication of integers in written maths work.
Integer multiplication becomes easier when children see the pattern behind the rule. A positive multiplied by a positive gives a positive product. A positive and a negative give a negative product. Two negative factors give a positive product. Worksheets can show this through examples such as 4 × -3, -5 × 6, and -7 × -2, helping pupils connect the sign of each factor to the sign of the product.
From patterns to fluency
Class 6 learners often begin with repeated addition or number patterns, then move towards quicker calculation. Practice should include small products first, then mixed questions where children must decide the sign before multiplying the numbers. Missing-number questions, such as -4 × __ = 28, encourage children to think about both the value and the sign.
Parent practice routine
At home, ask your child to say the sign rule aloud before solving each problem: “same signs positive, different signs negative.” Then let them multiply the numbers without signs and attach the correct sign at the end. Review three incorrect answers together by asking, “Was the number fact wrong, or was the sign wrong?” This keeps correction focused and calm.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these integer multiplication sheets for warm-ups, maths centres, homework, revision, or quick checks after teaching sign rules. Pair work is useful: one child predicts the sign, the other calculates the product, and both explain the answer. This helps reveal whether errors come from multiplication facts or from misunderstanding negative numbers.
Common mistakes to watch
Many children forget that two negative factors make a positive product. Others multiply correctly but copy the wrong sign into the answer. Some treat -6 × 3 as 18 because they only notice 6 × 3. Encourage pupils to circle the signs first, then underline the numbers to be multiplied.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does a Class 6 child practise in integer multiplication?
The child practises multiplying positive and negative integers, deciding the correct sign of the product, and applying rules such as same signs give a positive product and different signs give a negative product.
How can I help my child remember the sign rules?
Ask your child to check the signs before multiplying: same signs mean positive, different signs mean negative. After that, they can multiply the number values as usual and attach the correct sign.
Why is -4 × -5 equal to +20?
Both factors are negative, so the signs are the same. In integer multiplication, two negative factors give a positive product, and 4 × 5 = 20.
Are these worksheets useful for revision before tests?
Yes. They give focused practice on integer multiplication, including mixed-sign questions and missing-factor tasks, which are common areas where Class 6 learners need revision.
What mistakes should teachers look for in this topic?
Teachers should watch for pupils who multiply the numbers correctly but choose the wrong sign, especially in negative × negative and negative × positive examples.

Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this class 6 integer multiplication worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
