Dividing Integers and Their Properties

Mrs. Lopez teaches Grade 7 students about the division of integers in Lesson 12. The lesson revisits elementary multiplication and division concepts, introduces fact families, and explains integer rules. It covers how to determine if a quotient is negative or positive based on the signs of the dividend and divisor. The lesson also clarifies that the quotient of two integers is not always an integer, providing examples and rules for dividing integers. The session concludes with a summary of key points and encourages students to remember the rules for multiplication and division.
