Question
Using the token interpretation, find the values of:
(-4) × (-1)
(-4) × (-1)
✓
Answer
For (-4) × (-1), we need to remove 1 negative from the box 4 times.
Since there are no red tokens in the bag.
We need to place 1 zero pair and remove 1 negative, and we need to do this 4 times.
Taking 1 red token from the zero pairs 4 times.
∴ (-4) × (-1) = 4
