Question

Use your counters to do each of the following multiplication problems using the definition of multiplying two integers with positive and negative counters.  Then, explain what the multiplication problem given means in terms of the counters, and explain and show each of the individual steps.  Use the example from Module 6, pages 41-42 as a model when the first number is negative.  Then take a picture of your work and upload it.

  1.  −5×3-5×3 :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.
  2.  −3×2-3×2 :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.

  3.  2×(−3)2×(-3) :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.

    NOTE: Although the answer to part b is the same as part c due to the commutative property of multiplication, the problems mean different things, the steps are not alike and the problems are done differently.
  4. −2×3-2×3 :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.

  5. 3×23×2 :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.

  6.  0×(−4)0×(-4) :  This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.

  7. −4×0-4×0 : (this means something different than 0×−40×-4 )
    This means to ___________________
    Show work and all steps below.  Then, state the answer to the problem.
