What is the sign of the product when multiplying two negative numbers?
Integers are whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero). To multiply two integers, count the number of factors for each integer and multiply them together. To divide two integers, use the same approach but divide instead of multiply.
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
Multiplying integers: the result of multiplying two integers with the same sign is always positive, while the result of multiplying two integers with different signs is always negative. Dividing integers: the result of dividing two integers with the same sign is always positive, while the result of dividing two integers with different signs is always negative. Order of operations: when multiplying or dividing integers, it is important to remember the order of operations (PEMDAS). Multiplication and division have the same precedence, so they should be done in the order they appear from left to right.
Concepts:
Multiplying two negative numbers always results in a positive number. Dividing a negative number by a positive number always results in a negative answer. The product of two consecutive integers is always even.

Question: You are a teacher tasked with teaching 7th grade students how to multiply and divide integers. You have two options for a lesson plan. What do you do? Clues: • Integers are whole numbers, positive or negative. • To multiply integers with the same sign, the answer is positive. To multiply integers with different signs, the answer is negative. • To divide integers, the sign of the answer is determined by the sign of the dividend and divisor. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Have students work in pairs to draw and explain what they think the answer would be when two integers with the same sign are multiplied together. B. Have students work in pairs to draw and explain what they think the answer would be when two integers with different signs are divided.

Start by writing the fractions side by side, like a multiplication equation. Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. Simplify the fraction if needed by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number.
How to Multiply Fractions
What is the product of 2/3 and 4/5?
Fraction: A fraction is a mathematical expression that represents the part of a whole. It is written with two numbers separated by a slash (/) symbol. The top number is the numerator, and the bottom number is the denominator. Multiplication of Fractions: Multiplication of fractions is a method of combining two fractions together to find the product of the two fractions. Equivalent Fractions: Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, even though the numbers in the numerator and denominator may be different.
Concepts:
Multiplying fractions is actually the same as multiplying two whole numbers and then dividing by the same number. For example, if you multiply 1/2 by 3/4, it's the same as multiplying 1 x 3 and then dividing by 4. Fractions can be thought of as division problems where the denominator is the number of parts and the numerator is the number of parts being used. The fraction 1/2 is the smallest fraction that can not be expressed as the sum of two other fractions.
