Today in class the first thing we did was look over our homework which was done in the blue barn yard.

Then he gave us homework from page 5 in the green booklet. He made us pick 4 questions and each and to be from the coordinate chart and we had to illustrate them. The other eight we just had to write the answer. Here are the 4 I picked.

1) (3)(9)=

Which is from the quadrant 1 and it means 3x9. Here's how I answered it...


This represents 3 groups of 9 which equals to 27.

2) (-12)(3)

This question is from quadrant 2. Here's how I answered it....


This represents 3 group of- 12 getting removed. The answer equals to - 36.

3) (6) (-2)

This question is from quadrant 3. Here's how I answered it...

This shows 6 groups of -2 which equals to -12.

4)(-5)(-4)

This question is from quadrant 4. Here's how I answered it.

This shows -5 groups of -4 getting removed, which equals to +20.

He also gave us homework to find the pattern, what we noticed, to make a rule and anything else for this...
This is how I answered it.

(-)(-)=positive

(-)(-)(-)=negative

(-)(-)(-)(-)=positive

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)=negative

(+)(-)= negative

(+)(-)(-)=positive

(+)(-)(-)(-)=negative

(+)(-)(-)(-)(-)=positive


The rule when multiplying a negative integer with a negative integer the product is always a positive. When multiplying a positive integer with a negative integer the product always equals to a negative.

The patterns I noticed were that the answers were positive then negative and vice versa. Each time you went down they would add a second integer.



For the next scribe I pick Angela. Thanks and please leave a comment. :)

Good job! All your pictures and fonts were clear, because of all the different colors. (: Although, in your first picture, it says "Multipling Integers" but I'm sure it's suppose to say Multiplying Intergers. But still.. Good Job Simran!
