DIRECTIONS: Step only on squares whose answer is
positive. Go across or down.
Don’t work it out. Count the minus signs.

Done for you (−5) × (−6) = 30 ✓ → 10 × 5 = 50 ✓. (−13) × 10 = −130 ✗ not that way. Carry on from there.
Write the squares you stepped on.
(−5) × (−6) → 10 × 5 →
- How many of the squares on your route had two minus signs in them?
- Did you have to work out any of the answers to cross the grid? If not, what did you use instead?
- The rule is the same for × and ÷. Write one multiplication and one division that both give a negative answer, and say what they have in common.
