Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

  • Multiply with integers
  • Divide with integers
Student Target

“I can multiply and divide integers.”

CCR Focus Standards
Number and Ratios - Level D
  • Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Supporting Standards
  • Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

  • Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (MP.2)

  • Model with mathematics. (MP.4)

  • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (MP.8)

KYAE Employability Standards
  • E.7 Accurately analyze information and respond appropriately.

  • E.8 Interact with others in a professional manner.

  • E.9 Analyze self-performance to better understand strengths and areas for improvement.
