Absolute value and opposite numbers: 👀 watch the video: 

How to multiply and divide Integer numbers and how to apply the rule of signs:

👉 Paragraph 5.- Adding and subtracting Integer Numbers

To add or subtract you have to remove brackets applying the rule of signs and then operate (considering the signs, of course)  here

Meaningful Questions

 Science grows thanks to good questions even more than due to the answers... 

Frequently, great contributions to Science started with a brainy change of the question focus...

Lets try it in our lessons...

What is a meaningful question? We call Meaningful questions those questions that have interesting aspects of the subject and show that the student has understood the core of the content.

Examples: 

• About powers… Since  a0 = 1 and 0b = 0, what is 00 =?
• About prime numbers… Is it 1 a prime number? Why?
• About HCF and LCM… When the LCM of two or more numbers is equal to one of the numbers? When the HCF is equal to one of the numbers? 

The students can answer the questions or not, the important thing is that they are able to build the question or at less understand why the question is really interesting and can be considered meaningful.

Reformulating meaningful questions. Once the question is found, the student has to be able to rewrite the question using other words or even a complete different formulation but with the same mathematical meaning.

They can reformulate their own questions or their classmates' questions. 

The simpler, the better the question is.
