Discussion Questions No discussion questions this Module Math Journal (or Blog): Everyone does first 2 (creating tables/charts). Create a chart that show the rules of multiplication and division with negative and positive numbers. (REQUIRED) Create a table of perfect squares and square roots through 142 = 196. Be sure to include 0 and 1 in your table! (REQUIRED) Choose at least one to include in your Math Journal or Blog: Explain the difference between an expression and an equation. Give at least 2 examples of where you might encounter addition and subtraction of negative numbers in the real world. Write and evaluate an expression using at least one negative number for each example. In math, exponents are a shorthand way of writing repeated multiplication. What similar shortcuts have you used in math?
