 Rules
• When multiplyingintegers there
are two rules:
1. When multiplying integers that have
the SAME sign, the answer is
POSITIVE.
• Positive x positive = positive
• Negative x negative = positive
+7 x +12 = +84
-6 x –5 = +30
 Rules continued…
• Rule 2:
– When multiplying integers whose
signs are DIFFERENT, the answer
will always be NEGATIVE.
•Positive x negative = negative
•Negative x positive = negative
+8 x –4 = -32
-5 x +7 = -35
 Let’s Sing a Song!
Multiplying Integers Song
(sing to “Dead Bones” tune)
Verse 1 
A negative times a negative is a, (um) positive 
A negative times a positive is a, (um) negative
A negative times a negative is a, (um) positive
These are the rules for signs.
Verse 2 
If you have the same signs, you get a positive, 
But if they’re different, you get a negative,
If you have the same signs, you get a positive,
Yes, these are the rules for signs. 
 Let’s Practice!
What sign would the answer have in
front of the integer???

-5 x -7 = ???
POSITIVE!!!
 How about…

-6 x 9 = ???
What sign will be in front of the answer??
NEGATIVE!!!
 Try this one!
What sign will be in front of the
answer???

-81 ÷ +9 = ???
NEGATIVE!!!
Let’s solve some
problems!

-8 x –9 =
+72
+4 x +12 =
+48
-8 x –11 =
+88
 Remember…
• When multiplying INTEGERS…

Same signs = a positive

Different signs = a negative

 GENERALIZATIONS:
• HOW TO MULTIPLY INTEGERS?
• WHAT DO WE GET WHEN WE
MULTIPLY TWO NEGATIVE
INTEGERS?
