Integer Multiplication and Addition Virtual Manipulatives




I could talk and talk and talk but we all know that lectures aren't that great of a way of learning.

Doing is much better.

So for the 6th graders out there please spend some time doing.  Here is one website that allows you to experience and explore adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers and another multiplying positive and negative numbers.  You should watch the little tutorial in the second link so that the visual model of multiplication makes sense.


I do NOT want you to NOT do these exercises.  Not not.  Whose there?  Math inverse.
