This diagram represents an infinite number of positive and negative charges cancelling each other out….

Start by drawing a set of positive and negative charges, in pairs so that they cancel each other out….

How could we represent (+2) + (-3) ?

How could we represent (+2) + (-3) ? (+2) + (-3) = -1

How could we represent (+2) - (-3)

How could we represent (+2) - (-3) = 5

How could we represent (-2) - (-4)?

An infinite number or positive and negative charges How could we represent (-3) x (+2) ?

An infinite number or positive and negative charges (-3) x (+2) = -6

An infinite number of positive and negative charges cancelling each other out…. How we would represent (-3) x (-2)?

An infinite number of positive and negative charges cancelling each other out…. (-3) x (-2) = +6

Today’s Task Draw pictures to represent the calculations below: Easier Hardest (+2) + (-6) = (+2) – (-5) = (-2) x (+ 4) = (-2 + (+5) = (+3) – (-4) = (-4) x (+ 2) = (-5) – (+3)= (-5) – (-2) = (-2) x (-3) = (-4) + (-5) = (-6) – (-4) = (-2) x (-4) = Have you noticed any patterns / rules. Can you describe them? Can you predict what the answers to the following calculations would be? (-35) ÷ (5) = (+12) ÷ (-4) = (-6) ÷ (-3) =
