Integers temperature above and below zero for a test

What is an integer?

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Fill in the blank: -5°C is _____ zero.

-5°C is below zero.

True or false: 3°C is below freezing.

False, because 3°C is above freezing (0°C).

What is the integer for freezing temperature?

The freezing temperature of water is 0°C.

Difference between -2°C and 2°C?

-2°C is below zero, while 2°C is above zero.

If the temperature drops from 5°C to -3°C, what is the change?

The change is 8°C (5 - (-3) = 8).

What happens at 0°C?

At 0°C, water freezes. It is the border between positive and negative temperatures.

True or false: -10°C is warmer than -5°C.

False, because -10°C is colder than -5°C.

What is the temperature increase from -5°C to 2°C?

The increase is 7°C (2 - (-5) = 7).

If the temperature is -4°C, how much warmer is 0°C?

0°C is 4 degrees warmer than -4°C.

Fill in the blank: The temperature at night was -7°C. It is _____ than during the day.

It is colder than during the day.

If it’s 10°C today, what’s the integer for tomorrow's freezing point?

The freezing point is still 0°C, regardless of today's temperature.

What is -20°C compared to 0°C?

-20°C is much colder than 0°C.

How do we represent temperatures below freezing?

We use negative integers to represent below freezing temperatures.
