There are 16 career clusters leading to various career pathways. Instructors can incorporate these clusters into curriculum design and instruction. Adult education services will include workforce preparation activities and training for specific occupations; this will allow students to achieve their educational and career goals. For a listing and description of these career clusters, please click on the link below.
This lesson introduces students to the concepts of negative numbers and how to multiply and divide with integers. This will help students understand situations in which negative numbers apply as well as get students started with reasoning using abstract concepts.
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.
