Multiplication of Integers Negative and Positive × Negative = ________ Negative × Positive = ________ Negative If the signs in a multiplication problem are different the solution is: ________ I know that a: Positive positive × positive = _______ Negative (+)(–) = _______ Now follow the pattern: Negative (–)(+) = _______ Positive (+)(+) = _______ So… I know that a: Positive (–)(–) = _______ Positive negative × negative = _____________ Positive If the signs in a multiplication problem are the same the solution is: ________
Here’s a way I can Remember! • To remember whether your answer will be positive or negative when MULTIPLYING or DIVIDING, we’ll use: Mr. Multiplivision
When multiplying Integers, cover the Two signs you are using Ex. : 5 (-3) = -15 What sign is left uncovered? Negative, That is the sign of The answer
