Description
Do you want a constructive way to teach students how to multiply and divide integers? If so, this might be just for you! Students complete the sheet and look for patterns. By analyzing the patterns they determine the rules are used when multiplying and dividing integers. When students determine the rules on their own they're more likely to remember them. I hope this works as well in your classroom as it does in mine. Enjoy!

LOVE how students can see the patterns with this.
AN AMAZING WAY FOR STUDENTS TO SEE PATTERNS.
You're welcome. I'm glad that you found the resource so helpful! : )
This is a perfect way to teach integer multiplication. I LOVE how students are able to identify patterns and come up with their own conclusions.
Me too! That's one of the best pieces of this resource. It's amazing when kids notice the patterns on their own. : )
Thank you for the great resource! :)
Thanks so much for the feedback!
This will work well for students who need extra practice in discovering number patterns. Great idea!
That's terrific news!
Awesome, thanks!
You're welcome! I'm glad to help out other educators.
Great resource to help understand negative and positive multiplication patterns!
Thank you for the feedback!

CCSS7.NS.A.2a
Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
CCSS7.NS.A.2b
Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If 𝘱 and 𝘲 are integers, then –(𝘱/𝘲) = (–𝘱)/𝘲 = 𝘱/(–𝘲). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
CCSS7.NS.A.2c
Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
