Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers Study Guide
A study guide for 6th graders reviewing how to multiply and divide positive and negative fractions and decimals, with sign rules, a sign-check section, and real-world word problems. It builds fluency with rational number operations and applying those skills to context, and works well as a review before an assessment.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a review session before the unit test, pairing students to work through Part 1 sign-rule checks first, then Part 2 real-world situations.
- Discussion question: Why does multiplying two negative numbers give a positive result, and how can a real-world situation like losing debt help explain it?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them write out the sign rule in their own words and mark the sign of each expression before computing the value.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own real-world situation that matches an expression like -12.6 ÷ (-3) and explain what the quotient means in context.
- Estimated time: about 40 to 45 minutes for the full guide, including discussion.
