Multiplying Integers

There are four rules to multiplying integers.

1) positive x positive = positive
eg) (+2) x (+3) = (+12)

2) negative x negative = positive
eg) (-4) x (-3) = (+12)

3) positive x negative = negative
eg) (+5) x (-3) = (-15)

4) negative x positive = negative
eg) (-6) x (+4) = (-24)

using apostrophes in contractions

A CONTRACTION is a word made by joining two words.

Use an apostrophe to show that letters are left out.

EXAMPLES: it's = it is hasn't = has not
There are only three words in the English language that start with d-w. They are dwindle, dwell, dwarf.

spelling

In spelling I learned how to spell geography and democracy.

Poem


My poem is this

My Teacher Ate My Homework

My teach ate my homework,
Which I thought was rather odd.
He sniffed at it and smiled
with an approving sort of nod.

He took a little nibble
it's unusual, but true
then had a somewhat lager bite
and gave a thoughtful chew.

I think he must of liked it,
for he really went to town.
He gobbled it with gusto
and he wolfed the whole thing down.

He licked off all his fingers,
gave a burp and said, "You pass."
I guess that's how they grade you
when your in cooking class.
