7th grade integer operations
Quick answer
In 7th grade (ages 12–13), students add, subtract, multiply and divide positive and negative numbers, including fractions and decimals. This playlist starts with Math Antics' "Negative Numbers", then works through each operation with Math with Mr. J and Khan Academy. Put a sign rule on repeat with an A–B loop until it sticks.

What should a 7th grader be able to do after this unit?
They should add and subtract integers on a number line, explain why subtracting a negative is the same as adding, apply the sign rules for multiplying and dividing, and use these rules with fractions, decimals and simple word problems.
Why loop a short part of an integer lesson?
The tricky moments are brief, such as why a negative times a negative is positive. Loop just that explanation with A–B, slow it to 0.75×, and let it replay. Stop after N loops ends the session so practice stays short.
Frequently asked questions
Which video explains why a negative times a negative is positive?
Khan Academy's "Why a negative times a negative is a positive" walks through the reasoning, and Math Antics' "Integer Multiplication & Division" shows the sign rules with simple examples. Watching both back to back can help.
Do all schools teach this in 7th grade?
No. Grade levels vary by country and school. In the US, negative numbers are introduced in 6th grade and operations with them are covered in 7th grade (ages 12–13). Elsewhere the timing can be different.
