4. Rules for multiplying
When multiplying negative numbers remember: + × =
4 × 7
= 28 – + × =
–4 × –7
= 28 – + × =
–4 × 7
= -28 – + × =
4 × –7
= -28
These rules have been drawn graphically to make it easier for pupils to spot the pattern.
As each rule appear read it as, for example,
A positive number multiplied by a positive number always equals a positive number.
Remind pupils of the meaning of ‘inverse operation’ – one ‘undoes’ the other.
For example, if 4 × –3 = –12, then –12 ÷ –3 must equal 4.
Tell pupils that easiest way to remember these rules is that when we multiply together (or divide) two numbers with different signs (a positive number times a negative number or a negative number times a positive number) the answer will always be negative. If we multiply together (or divide) two numbers with a different sign (a positive number times a positive number or a negative number times a negative number) the answer will always be positive.
Encourage pupils to first work out whether their answers will be positive or negative and then multiply or divide.
Ask pupils to write down rules for multiplying (or dividing) three numbers.
For example, negative × positive × negative = positive and negative × negative × negative = negative.

6. Rules for dividing
5 x 7 =35, so
35 ÷ 5
= 7
–35 ÷ –5
= 7
–35 ÷ 5
= -7
= -7
35 ÷ –5
When dividing negative numbers remember: + ÷ = – + = ÷ – + = ÷ – + = ÷

8. Sums and products
What two integers have a sum of 2 and a product of –8?
Start by writing down all of the pairs of numbers that multiply together to make –8.
Since –8 is negative, one of the numbers must be positive and one of the numbers must be negative.
We can have:
–1 × 8 = –8
1 × –8 = –8
–2 × 4 = –8
or 2 × –4 = –8
Pupils will need to solve this type of problem when factorizing quadratic expressions.
Explain that we start by looking for products because there are less of these. There are infinitely many pairs of integers with a sum of 2.

A1.4 Factorization
–1 + 8 = 7
1 + –8 = –7
–2 + 4 = 2
2 + –4 = –2
The two integers are –2 and 4.

10. Multiplying and dividing integers
Complete the following:
–3 × 8 =
–24
–36 ÷ = –4 9
42 ÷ = –6 –7
÷ –90 = –6
540
× –8 = 96
–12
–7 × = 175
–25
47 × = 141 3
–4 × –5 × –8 =
–160
For each example ask pupils what sign the missing number will have and then what the number is.
