In 6th Grade, students learn how to relate signed numbers with real-world situations. Interpreting signed numbers in word problems is an essential skill for them. Teachers can use an "Interpret signed numbers Quiz" to test the understanding of word problems involving signed numbers of their students. This worksheet contains the problems of different contexts, such as temperature, finance, and other real-life situations. To solve this quiz, students should learn the meanings of “+” and “-” signs in different contexts. For example, if the height of a snowman is changed by -1.5 inches it means the height of the snowman decreased by 1.5 inches but if the height of a snowman is changed by 1.5 inches it means the height of the snowman increased by 1.5 inches.
