Multiplying and dividing integers: a worked example (−42 ÷ (−6))
- Divide the sizes: 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
- Both numbers are negative, so the signs are the same.
- Same signs give a positive answer, so −42 ÷ (−6) = 7.
- Check by multiplying: 7 × (−6) = −42.
How to use it at home and in class
At home
Ask for the sign first, then the size. “Same or different signs?” is a two-second question that prevents most mistakes. If the times tables are shaky, spend a few days on multiplication practice first. Every question on this sheet is a times table fact with a sign added. Ten problems a day works better than a whole sheet at once. Mark them together with the answer key, then ask your child to explain one they got wrong: finding the mistake themselves is where the learning happens.
In class
Use the first row as a warm-up, a full page for independent practice, or five questions as an exit ticket. For a retake or a second group, make a new version with the test maker so every child gets different numbers.
Mistakes to watch for
- Using the adding rule and taking the sign of the bigger number, so −6 × 3 becomes 18.
- Forgetting the sign completely and writing only the size.
- Miscounting the negative signs in a product of three numbers.
- Getting the times table fact wrong. Most errors with −56 ÷ 8 are about 56 ÷ 8, not the sign.
What to practice before and after multiplying and dividing integers
- Before: subtracting integers. If this sheet is a struggle, go back a step.
- After: absolute value, once this one is mostly right.
- Learn it first: the multiplying and dividing integers lesson.
