Haiku: adding integers
with two integers,
if you are deciding to add
put them together

Tanka:subtracting integers
subtracting, the myth
it is a total mirage
what you must create,
is to add the opposite
it is quite easy

Partitive: haiku
twelve apples, three bags
how many apples in each?
you can use your toes

Qoutative: haiku
twelve grapes,three per bag
how many bags were in there?
it is four of course!

multiplucation rules: free verse
how do you multiply?
i will tell you.
if it is two positives,the product will be positive.
like five times four.
if you multiply a positive by a negative, the product will be negative
if you multiply a negative by a negative, the product will be positive
if you multiply a negative by a positive the product will be negative

Chapter 2 Combining like terms and the Distributive Property
