Free verse-rules of mutiplying Integers
Sally oh Sally, this shy one
has never multiplyed an Integer
not even one.
she asked me if i knew how to do it,
i said yes dear lets get to it.
but Sally was a hopless one,
she dident want to learn, she just wanted to have fun.
But just when i thought there was no hope and was going to cry,
I decided to glimps upon the sky.
And in a split second i got a theory,
i will teach her about pratts law, so dearly!
So i told Sally if you add a negative amout of integers
that her product would be negative,
and that if she added a positive amount of integers her product
would be positive.
Oh yes Oh yes there was some hope,
I gave Sally a pen and paper and she did not mope!

positive integer your
is a negative

Subtracting integers is oh so simple honey,
just think of it as useing money.
think of it as i have, i owe
now that i am done here i must go!!

Integer Poetry first Chapter :

Adding Integers - Tanka :

Adding Integers,
most of the times its easy.
when the hard times come,
negative plus positive,
zero pairs comes to help you.

Subtracting Integers - Haiku :

add the opposite,
because there's nothing to it.
you never subtract.

Partitive division - Picture :




Quotive Division - Tanka :

asking the questions,
a quotitive division.
six goes into two,
just group six into two groups.
cant be in quadrant four and two.

Rule for multiplying - Free verse :

When an even amount of negative is being multiplied,
the product is always a positive.
When an odd amount of negative is being multiplied,
the product is always a negative.

second chapter, script :

combining like terms;
bella: hey edward, can you help me with something?
i cant seem to figure out this math i have been working on.

edward: oh, hi. Bella. i haven't talk to you in a while.
im happy to help you with anything. so, whats the combining like terms question?
i learned about those already, so i think i can help you.

bella: well good then. hm, the question is, n+3-5n+12?
i was working on it for a long time last night. i came up with ..
-6n +15. am i right ?

edward: i believe you're wrong bella. let me see, there is two terms only right?

bella: i think so, "n" + 5 is one term 12 +3 is another term?

edward: you're right bella. good you have already combined them together.
now we just have to add the math signs. it should look like ..
n-5n+3+12. do you think you can try answering that one?

bella: ill try. let me see. n-5 = -4n and 3+12 = 15.
if you add then together you should get.. -4n+15.

edward: you're right bella.

bella: thanks edward, that helps a lot. you've been a big help.
you're the best, sadly its getting late, i should get going.

edward: my pleasure, im always here to help.
nice seeing you again, hope you'll come back sometime.

bella: dont worry ill come back soon. see you soon.



distributive property;
bella: hey, edward are you here. i need help on distributive property.

edward: im right here bella. distributive property is what you say.
i think i can help you with that one too.

bella: excellent.

edward: okay, whats the deal with this distributive property?

bella: the question is 2+4(3n+8). i came up with 12n+10, am i right?

edward: i think you're wrong, lets see. we have to get rid of the brackets first.

bella: you have to multiply 4 by each number inside the brackets right?

edward: yes, you're right.

bella: it will look like.. 24x3n and 4x8. 4x3n=12n and 4x8=32. okay, it'll be..
12n+32+2. add the 32+2 first. which will be 34. so, i think its going to be 12n+34. right?

edward: yes, yes. very good bella.

bella: nice, thank you edward. i learned a lot.

edward: you're so welcome. im glad i can help again.

bella: anyways, i have to head home. ill come back soon.

edward: okay then, goodbye bella. take care.

Today in class we talked more about dividing integers. We finished our barn doors and Mr. Harbeck reviewed what we needed to have on our barn doors, to get a full marks. We needed to have at least two examples for each door and we needed to have the rule's. We also talked about yesterday's homework. Yesterday's homework was page 7 numbers 10 - 17 , we checked numbers 13 , 16 and 17 .





Today's homework is page 7 numbers 19 and 23 , and page 8 numbers 1 to 18 .


page 7 ,





page 8 ,






This is some of the homework , and if i did anything wrong feel free to leave a comment . And tommorow we will also have a quiz on what we've been doing so far. I guess this is the time for me to pick the next scribe , the next scribe is KATRINA (:

Today in class we answered the home work from last week and we also worked on our barn doors quadrant four.



Then we had to decide if either it was a partitive division, Quotitive division or neither. Mr.Harbeck told us that if you picked Quotitive you would go to the left side of the room , If you picked partitive you would have to go to the rigth side of the room, then for the people that picked neither was at the back and for the people that didn't know went to the front of the room . Well most of the people were at the back of the room because it was neither . And in the end of the discussion all of us where convinced to go to the back of the room because you cant share a negative numbers and you cant share a negative group. And all you can do is the multiplicative inverse.



The home work for today was page 7 , from 10-17 . The next scribe is GIAN !!

Hey 8-16, I'm scribing again. And I'm going to talk about what Mr. H taught us last Friday. First he was asking where would -12 / 4 goes in the "barn doors" (barn doors are the one we have been working on for the past month. but this time we are using the white barn doors). -12/ 4 fits in the 2ND quadrant (negative and positive). Then, he asked us how to write -12/4 in a different way. You could write it by what he calls "gasinta" (means goes in to).

Hey guys! Sorry about the late scribe post. I will fill you guys in on what we did Nov 17 and 19.

Today in class, the first thing we did was review the homework questions we had from yesterday. Then we looked at the Make a rule homework, and we were trying to figure out the pattern of it. We then found the rule.

This is what the paper looked like:The rule is called the Pratt's Integer Law (:
- When you multply an EVEN amount of negative integers the product is always positive.

Today in class we talked about MORE MULTIPLYING INTEGERS. We looked over our multiplying integer quadrants. We went over the rules of multiplying. Like (when i multiply a negative integer and a positive integer the product is negative). Then after we looked over our multiplying quadrants , he told us to do 12 questions in page 5 on the green booklet. He also told us that we had to choose 4 questions that has a (-)(+) , (+)(-) , (-)(-) , (+)(-) , numbers in it then draw pictures. After that he asked us what will be the product when u multiply certain integers together.

For the questions on page 5, i chose number 5, 7, 8, and 11.

5) (6)(-2)=-12

11) -12(3)= -36

That's all we did in class today, i hope u learned something. I'm sorry if there's any mistakes.

Today we learned about square brackets, and how to answer an integer question including them.
Here is an example of a square bracket integer question looks like:






Now how do we answer a question like this? Well, here are some things to remember:
1)Always answer the question in the brackets first
2)There should only be 1 integer in the brackets when you finish a question
3)If there are any subtraction signs to convert, convert them AFTER you answer the question in the brackets.

Here is how this question is answered:















Here is another example of a square bracket integer question:






This seems to look a bit more challenging, doesn't it? Okay well here's how to answer this question:
















Homework:
For homework we had to do part four in the green booklet (answers and work in notebook). Here are one of the questions from part four:













Another thing we had to do for homework was to do all of page 12 and pick any of the 10 questions to change them into standard form in our notebook. Here is an example of what to write in our notebook:









Okay so that's what we did today! If you guys see any errors, just let me know my commenting. I'll fix it (:

The next scribe poster I choose is .. MARC!

Today in Mr. Harbeck's class we got a new seating plan he drew our names by random and we got to sit where ever he showed us.

Now we get to the math for today, we had to do our green booklet that Mr. Harbeck gave us about 1 week ago and we had to do some parts 2 and part 3 on the next page.

We had to do learn Standard form in Integers rule and there are only 3 so here they are:

1) Never Subtract(add the opposite)
2)Regroup and Re-write
3)Have (1 +) and have (1 -)

That means in the end before you get the total you should have 1 group of positive integers and 1 group of negative integers.

Now we have our homework for today we did some of Part 2 and do the odds and Part 3 which is on the next page of the booklet. Now here are 2 questions on part 2 and 2 questions on part 3, here is part 2:

Question 3 on part 2:

8-(-4)+7-(-2)=
this is where the rules kick in to see if you are doing the process right:

So for question 3 Part 2 the answer is 21 now here is another question
Question #5 in part 2 it is:
if you re-write that it should look like this:

I will start by saying that today was a pretty easy math class but there was one main thing that I want to talk about. In class we learned how to do a math Question with out the training wheels. In the green book question two is a perfect example of this. The question is -4-3. To find the answer it helps if you say it like this, negative four and negative three. The second step is to get rid of the and and add a plus. -4+-3 is easy to find out but if you want you can add brackets. (-4)+(-3). The answer is -7.







The homework for today is in the green booklet all of part one and all the even Questions on part two.
