8.8.4 Applying Integer Operations

It is important to remember order of operations when working with integers, so today we will be looking at different applications of integers to solve problems.

Things you should know after today:

  • apply order of operations to integers (BEDMAS)
  • determine what integers in problems actually mean within the context of a story problem
  • solve problems that involve the mean of a set of numbers

8.8.3 Multiplying and Dividing with Integers

We can think of multiplying as repeated additions to help us determine what multiplying by an integer means.  Today, you will develop the sign rule for multiplying and dividing, and talk about what integers mean in the context of a story problem.

Things you should be able to do after today:

  • use the sign rule to help you determine the product or quotient of two integers
  • determine the sign of a product when there are more than two things (factors) being multiplied together
  • explain what a positive or negative answer means in the context of a word problem.
