Multiply and divide positive and negative whole numbers. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

product: The answer to multiplying.

quotient: The answer to dividing.

factor: A number you multiply, like 3 and 4 in 3 × 4.

jump: One step along the number line. A negative number of jumps means jump the other way.

rate: How much something changes each minute, hour or step, like -3°F per hour.

undone: Division undoes multiplication: if 4 × 3 = 12, then 12 ÷ 3 = 4.

Your child multiplied or divided the sizes and left the minus signs out.

Your child kept a negative answer when both numbers were negative.

Your child added the two numbers instead of multiplying. Try: 4 jumps of 3 is the same jump four times, so it is 4 × 3.
