Mathematixed: Freedom and Power through Understanding Math

6: Multiplicative Reasoning, Part 2 of 3 (Multiplication with Negative Numbers)


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue exploring multiplication by using what we learned in Episode 5 about the five meanings of multiplication. We consider how each meaning might help us understand how multiplication with negative numbers works, and by doing so, we develop the negative number multiplication "rules" for ourselves.

Timestamps for each "multiplication meaning" that we explore:

7:50 Equal groups

20:25 Scaling

32:50 Area

44:30 Rates

48:55 Combinations

And at 49:49, we touch on how the multiplication "rules" for negative numbers extend to division.

Next episode will delve much further specifically into division as a part of multiplicative reasoning.

Thanks for listening. Here's to freedom and power through understanding math!
