[quote=Anonymous]I have not been in a math-based environment in years. Back in my school days, we memorized a bunch of rules and that was that. As a result, I didn't always understand the reasons for the rules (and was adverse to the more abstract math concepts). I'm faced with having to explain to my child why adding or multiplying negatives (double negatives) results in a positive. And I'm struggling. As a result, DC is having a hard time understanding "why" the rule exists. Can anyone help with a concise or easy explanation? What I've found online is not super helpful. Thanks in advance and apologies if this is the wrong forum.[/quote]
