Today, we discussed the rules for division of integers. The students found out that the rules for division are the same as the rules for multiplication.
There are 2 steps for dividing integers:
Step 1: Divide your numbers
Step 2: Count your negatives
- If you have an even number of negatives your answer will be positive.
- If you have an odd number of negatives your answer will be negative.
Examples:
24 / -4 = -6 -32 / -8 = 4
Tomorrow we will be working on a small project to help us better understand our integer rules. Students will be able to create their project with regular paper, or they can create a digital presentation using Google, or a Prezi, or a Smore, etc. More information will be provided in class tomorrow.
