Common Core State Standards Common Core State Standards 7.NS.2 7.NS.2b 7.NS.2c 7.NS.3 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. 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. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. Mathematical Practices 1, 3, and 4 are aspects of mathematical thinking that are emphasized in every lesson. Students are given opportunities to be persistent in their problem solving, to express their reasoning, and apply mathematics to realworld situations. Exercises 14, 19, and 23 focus on Mathematical Practice 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Exercises 20 22 focus on Mathematical Practice 7 Look for and make use of structure. Exercise 36 focuses on Mathematical Practice 5 Use appropriate tools strategically.

Common Error Students may have trouble with Exercises 15 and 16 because of the negative sign in front of the variable. They may think the value is negative. Tell students to think of this as the opposite value of the variable, or 1 times the variable value. Common Error Students may have trouble multiplying three or more factors with the same sign. These students may find it easier to multiply first, ignoring the signs. Then they can apply the rules to find the product s sign. You may wish to points out that if the number of negative integers being multiplied is odd (1, 3, 5, and so on), the product will be negative.

Additional Activities for Differentiated Instruction Differentiated Instruction activities for Approaching Level, On Level, and Beyond Level Learners can also be found at point-of-use in the Launch the Lesson and Teach the Concept sections. The following are additional activities that can be used with this lesson. Option 1: Interpersonal Learners Materials: index cards, markers Have students create flash cards to help them remember the signs for the product and quotient of two integers. Have them write the problem on the front of the card and the answer on the back. Make one card for each of the following: positive positive negative negative positive negative negative positive positive negative negative positive Students can take turns quizzing each other using the cards. Option 2: Interpersonal Learners Provide groups of students with two sets of cards and a counter. One set has digits 0 9 written on it. The second set contains the operations +,,, and. Have one student make expressions by drawing two digit cards, flipping the counter to determine if each is positive or negative, and then drawing an operation card. The other members race to solve the number sentence correctly. Whoever solves first gets a point. Encourage students to create more complex expressions as they continue to play. The Reteach Worksheet provides additional examples and practice for students who may have difficulty in grasping the math concepts in this lesson. Option 3: Naturalistic Learners Materials: poster board, markers, reference materials Have students work in pairs. Assign each pair an animal and have them find its estimated population for today and 10 years ago. Have students use the expression, where N is the new population and P is the previous population to determine the average change in numbers for their animals. On poster board, students make a table like the one shown below. Each pair of students should complete the table on the animal they researched. Option 4: Intrapersonal Learners Write the following questions on the board: Can a square number be negative? Explain. No; Sample answer: A negative number multiplied by a negative number, such as 3 (3) = 9, has a positive product, so the square of a number cannot be negative. Can the square root of a number be negative? Explain. Yes; Sample answer: The square root of 9 can be -3 because 3 (3) = 9. Do the values of x and y need to be positive or negative so that the quotient of x ( y) is negative? Sample answer: Either x or y needs to be negative, but not both. What combination of positive and negative values can you substitute for x, y, and z so that the value of this expression is positive: x 2 ( y ) ( z)? Explain. Sample answer: One combination is that x is negative, y is negative, and z is positive. This would give a positive value for x 2 (negative negative = positive), Printed by: Nicole Sladich Page 9 of 18 Printed on 11/04/2014 11:08 PM

a negative value for y, and a negative value for z: positive negative negative = positive. Have students write their answers on paper. Have them explain their reasoning and give examples. Option 5: Logical Learners Have each student pick a country and find the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in that country. Students can use the expression in Got It? Exericse h to rewrite Celsius temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. Use the expression, where F represents the number of degrees Fahrenheit, to find the temperature in degrees Celsius. Draw a thermometer on the board and have students write their countries high and low temperatures on the thermometer.
