Bellwork
Quiz – Adding and Subtracting Integers.

Prior Knowledge
 Review answers to bellwork quiz.
 Review previous day’s homework.
 Over the last few days we have learned to order integers, add integers, and subtract integers.

Anticipatory Set
 TODAY, we build upon those skills and we’ll learn to multiplying and dividing integers.
 Why do we need to learn how to multiply and divide integers?
Let’s take a look at a real life example involving a famous sled dog named Balto who lived in a little town called
Nome, Alaska.
 Display real-world weather example (Nome, Alaska).

Teacher Input
 Review bellwork.
 Review homework.
 Relate story of Balto and the weather in Nome, Alaska to multiply and dividing integers.
 Pass out student notes.
 Explain rules for multiplying/dividing integers.
 Demonstrate how to multiply/divide integers.
 Give students time to work you-try problems individually.
 Go over answers to you-try problems.
 Pass out Study Guide.
 Classwork: Have students work in “Think, Pair, Share” activity to complete their study guide. Review answers.
Extra Practice: Multiplying & Dividing WS or Integer Double Bubble Map

Assessment
Question the students for understanding. Monitor students as they work on “you try” problems.
Major test on integers next class.
Closure
1. How do you determine the sign when you are multiplying or dividing integers with 2 or more integers?
Count the negative signs. Even amount = positive answers. Odd amount = negative answer.
2. Announce:
Integer test next class! Work must be shown when adding and subtracting integers. The steps will be on the board
for you to look at. Remember, circle any double signs and replace with one sign according to the chart,
rewrite the problem, then follow the rule for same sign or different sign.

Adding & Subtracting Integers Last Night’s HW

Must show your work on this worksheet to get credit for it! By this I just mean to follow your steps.
Circle double signs and rewrite the problem when applicable.

1. −8 – (−6) = −2 2. −25 − 8 = −33

−8 + 6 = −2

3. −42 + (−50) = −92 4. 12 – (−2) = 14

−42 – 50 = −92 12 + 2 = 14

5. In January 2009, the temperature in Denver, Colorado was initially 32 degrees and
dropped 38 degrees overnight. Write an equation. Then, use the integer rules
to find the final temperature.

32 – 38 = −6

Answer: −6°

6. A football team lost 20 yards on a play and then gained back 32 yards. Write an
equation. What is the net gain or loss?

−20 + 32 = 12

Answer: 12 yards gain

Why learn how to Multiply and Divide Integers?
Real-World Example

Nome, Alaska Northern Lights from Nome, Alaska

Home of the famous sled dog, Balto who helped carry diphtheria sermon to Nome,
Alaska in 1925 after a storm caused airplanes to not be able to deliver it.

If you know how to divide integers, you can determine temperature averages for Nome, Alaska!
During a week in January, 2009 the temperatures for the week were as follows:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

-6° -5° -1° 1° 3° 3° 2°

−6 – 5 – 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = −3 = −.43 ° F average for the week
