Activities:
1. We started by looking at this WODB here. We used the following terms to describe the sections: quadrants,
rows, columns, odd, even and symmetry to describe the sections. Students wrote their thoughts in their
duotangs.
2. We used the number line to describe multiplication as repeated multiplication. In addition, we looked at
negative integers as -1 multiplied by the positive integer and realized that the result is the arrow
representing the integer changes direction.
3. We reviewed the rules for multiplying and dividing integers and related them to the observations we made on
the number line.
Practice:
Students have a handout about integer multiplication and division.
1. complete the number lines on the multiplication questions
2. complete the division questions; the number lines do not have to be completed
