🧭 Teacher Notes & Supports

I can... I can multiply integers and use the sign rules to determine whether the product is positive or negative.

Success criteria: Students will correctly compute integer products, explain sign rules (same signs → positive, different signs → negative), and apply multiplication to real-world situations.

Differentiation strategies: Provide number-line visuals and pair students for guided practice; allow calculators for students focusing on sign rules only; offer manipulatives (chips or counters) to represent positive/negative groups.

Extension activities: Challenge advanced learners with multi-step problems that combine integer multiplication with adding/subtracting integers or problems involving surface area/volume where dimensions may be negative in context (e.g., elevations, depth).

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Use clear, large fonts, increased spacing, and colored overlays if helpful; read problems aloud and provide written and verbal examples of sign rules; keep language simple and direct.
