Integer Bingo: an online integer bingo game
A sum, difference or product is called; find the answer from −12 to 12 on your bingo card. A free integer bingo game for any device. Grades 6–7.
🧒 Kids: Work out the sum, difference or product. Find the answer on your card and tap it. Fill a whole line to shout BINGO! 🎉
How to play
- Choose what is called (sums, differences or products), the time per call and whether calls are read aloud.
- Press Start bingo. Your card is a 4 by 4 grid of integers from −12 to 12.
- A sum, difference or product is called, like −4 + 9. Work it out, find 5 on your card and tap it before the timer runs out.
- A wrong tap shakes the square; try again. If time runs out, the answer is shown and a new call is made.
- A full row, column or diagonal is BINGO!
What your child practices
Every call is a quick integer calculation. Sums and differences practice adding and subtracting integers (7.NS.A.1), and products practice the sign rules (7.NS.A.2). Each card holds numbers like 5 and −5 side by side, so the sign matters as much as the size.
Which setting to choose
| Setting | Example | Good for | Learn it first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sums | −4 + 9 is called: find 5 | Grade 7 | adding integers |
| Differences | −2 − 6 is called: find −8 | Grade 7 | subtracting integers |
| Products | (−3) × (−4) is called: find 12 | Grade 7 | multiplying integers |
Sums are the gentlest setting. For differences, remind your child to add the opposite. For products, the sign rule decides between a number and its opposite on the card.
When your child gets bingo on Normal with no missed calls, try products, or Integer Race for full speed.
Tips for parents
- Use “Relaxed” timing at first. Move to “Normal” when your child gets bingo with no missed calls.
- Turn on “Read calls aloud” to hear calls like “negative four plus nine”.
- Watch for 5 and −5 on the same card. Ask “positive or negative?” if your child mixes them up.
- After bingo, read the missed calls together and explain each one.
In the classroom
Project the game and play as a class. The computer calls, children find the answer on their own paper bingo cards, and the board on screen keeps everyone honest. Or let pairs play on tablets.
