Multiplying Integers

In this video lesson we will learn the two rules for multiplying integers. We will review the Zero Product Property and the Identity Property of Multiplication and talk about how it applies to integers with different signs. Student will be asked to first identify if the product will be positive, negative or zero. We will learn how to evaluate powers with negative bases and how to rewrite a power to repeated factors using exponents. Student practice is embedded in the lesson and exemplar solutions are modeled.
