Have students *discover* the rule of signs and not just give it to them:
-repeated addition
-2 negatives make a positive
-negative and positive make a negative
***Emphasis on slideshow on WHAT the negative sign actually means!! It means “take away” for subtraction, but it also means “opposite” and “negative” ****

Activity: Engage New York Module 2 Lesson 12
-Instead of fact families, gave students one multiplication fact 6×4=24 and write all of the ways to write this using integers:
6×4=24
4×6=24
-6×4= -24
6x-4=-24
-4×6= -24
4x-6= -24
Now use these facts to create division equations and they will discover the rule of signs for division.
Have students *discover* the rule of signs and not just give it to them:
-repeated subtraction
-2 negatives make a positive
-negative and positive make a negative
