This course will discuss WHY a positive times a positive equals a positive, a positive times a negative equals a negative, and a negative times a negative equals a positive. Students will draw pictures and use those pictures to better understand what the problem means to help them remember the property. This class is designed for students who have been introduced to negative numbers and struggle to remember the math property while multiplying. Students should know their multiplication facts. It would be helpful to take my "Tips and Tricks for Adding Positive and Negative Numbers" class first, but not required. This class will be a "I do", "We do", "You do" type structure. Students will listen and watch an example being done, then we will do an example together, finally they will do a problem on their own. Students will then show their work and share their answer with the other students. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions.
