Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Understand Division Of Rational Numbers. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Use properties to show division of rational numbers (with negative numbers).
The rule for dividing signed numbers is positive / negative = negative and negative / positive = negative and negative / negative = positive.
Use real world context to explain divisions of signed numbers.
Use mathematical reasoning and understanding of multiplication to prove rules for division of signed numbers
(-)a divided by b can be expressed as -a/b because -a/b x b = -a using the relationship between multiplication and division.
When expressing division as fractions the entire term is considered negative.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

If you divide -4/2 out, what would your answer be, and would it be positive or negative? What is the formula for speed? What are the rules of division with positive and negative numbers?

After the Game

How was the formula for speed changed to find the distance? Why is a submarine a good example for using positive and negative numbers? Was the final speed positive or negative during the descent of the submarine? Under what conditions would a division problem have a negative answer, and what about a positive answer?
