Chapter 10 The Other Side of Zero NCERT Solutions Highlights
Chapter 10 extends the number line to the left of zero. Students learn that integers include negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers. The chapter uses floors, mines, tokens, bank balances, sea level, temperature, and puzzles so that signed numbers feel practical before they become rules.
| Chapter idea | Student check | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Negative number | Less than zero and left of zero | Floors below ground and depths below sea level |
| Additive inverse | Two numbers add to zero | Back to zero and token cancellation |
| Integer addition | Combine movements or tokens | Lift button presses and zero pairs |
| Integer subtraction | Find the needed movement | Target floor minus starting floor |
The quickest check in this chapter is to ask whether the movement is toward the right of zero or toward the left of zero.
Integer Movement Rules in Class 6 Mathematics
The chapter uses one idea again and again: Starting Position plus Movement equals Target Position. A lift moving up, a number line moving right, and a bank balance receiving a credit all behave like positive movement. Moving down, moving left, and debits behave like negative movement.
- Addition: combine the starting number and movement.
- Subtraction: find the movement needed from the starting number to the target number.
- Inverse: a number and its opposite cancel to zero.
- Token method: one positive token and one negative token form a zero pair.

Positive and Negative Integers in Chapter 10
Positive and negative integers are best understood as positions from a reference point. Zero is the reference. A positive integer is above or to the right of zero, while a negative integer is below or to the left of zero. Zero is neither positive nor negative.
- On a number line, greater numbers are to the right.
- In a building, positive floors are above the ground floor.
- In a bank account, credits are positive and debits are negative.
- For temperature, values below 0 deg C are negative.
All NCERT Solutions for The Other Side of Zero with Expert Answers
The chapter has a companion question-card view where each item opens into Check Solution and Expert Solution tabs. It is useful for homework because students can try the signed-number calculation first, then reveal the reasoning.

How to Use the Class 6 The Other Side of Zero Solutions PDF
Start by reading the quick answer, then check the detailed solution only when the sign is confusing. For addition, group positives and negatives separately. For subtraction, rewrite the problem as addition of the inverse. This keeps each answer close to the NCERT method.
- Draw a quick number line for comparison questions.
- Use zero pairs for token questions.
- Use total credits minus total debits for bank-balance questions.
- Check whether the final answer should be above zero, below zero, or exactly zero.

The Other Side of Zero Class 6 Mathematics NCERT Solutions FAQs
Ques. What is covered in Class 6 Mathematics Chapter 10 The Other Side of Zero NCERT Solutions?
Ans. The solutions cover integers, negative numbers, additive inverses, integer comparison, addition, subtraction, zero pairs, bank balances, sea-level heights, temperatures and integer puzzles.
Ques. How should students solve integer subtraction questions in Chapter 10?
Ans. Students should read subtraction as target position minus starting position, or change the problem into addition of the inverse. This makes sign changes easier to check.
Ques. Why are zero pairs important in The Other Side of Zero?
Ans. A positive token and a negative token together have value zero. Zero pairs help students add and subtract integers without losing track of the sign.
Ques. Does the PDF include expert answers for all Chapter 10 questions?
Ans. Yes. The PDF includes 42 solution groups with quick answers, step-by-step solutions and expert explanations for the 2026-27 NCERT chapter.
