  1. Integers and Absolute Value

  2. Review Integers are whole numbers and their opposites, including 0. Negative Direction Positive Direction -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Origin

  3. Review Opposites are two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line.

  4. Absolute Value 4 spaces 2 spaces 2. How far is -2 from 0? 1. How far is 4 from 0? 3. How far is 6 from 0? 6 spaces 6 spaces 4. How far is -6 from 0? Negative Direction Positive Direction -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Origin

  5. Definition What is Absolute Value? Absolute value is the distance a number is from zero.

  6. The absolute value of 3 is 3 because it is 3 units from zero.

  7. The absolute value of -5 is 5 because it is 5 units from zero.

  8. The graph shows the position of a diver relative to sea level. How far is the diver from sea level?

  9. The symbol |x| is used to denote absolute value. To evaluate the absolute value, ask yourself how far is the number from zero? What general statements can you make about absolute value?

  10. Absolute Value • Distance cannot be negative, so the absolute value cannot be negative. • Opposite numbers will have the same absolute value.

  11. True, False or Unsure |5| is greater than |-7|. (Be ready to justify your thinking!)

  12. True, False or Unsure |x|must always be positive. (Be ready to justify your thinking!)

  13. True, False or Unsure The absolute value of a number is always greater than or equal to that number. (Be ready to justify your thinking!)
