Day 67 - Warmup 6.CE.2 Integer word problems

Front

What is the absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5.

Front

How do you find the temperature difference between two temperatures?

Back

To find the temperature difference, subtract the lower temperature from the higher temperature. For example, the difference between 105°F and -15°F is |105 - (-15)| = 120°F.

Front

What does it mean when a temperature is negative?

Back

A negative temperature indicates that the temperature is below zero degrees, which is the freezing point of water.

Front

If the temperature rises by a certain number of degrees, how do you calculate the new temperature?

Back

To calculate the new temperature after a rise, add the number of degrees to the current temperature. For example, if the temperature is -10°F and it rises by 35°F, the new temperature is -10 + 35 = 25°F.

Front

What is the process to calculate the daily change in temperature over several days?

Back

To calculate the daily change, find the total temperature change and divide it by the number of days. For example, if the temperature drops from 34°F to 7°F over 3 days, the total change is 34 - 7 = 27°F, so the daily change is 27/3 = 9°F.

Front

How do you represent a temperature drop on a number line?

Back

A temperature drop is represented by moving left on the number line. For example, if the temperature is 11°F and it drops by 3°F each hour, you move left 3 units for each hour.

Front

What is the final temperature if it drops 30 degrees from a temperature of 25 degrees?

Back

The final temperature is 25 - 30 = -5 degrees.

Front

How do you solve a multi-step temperature problem?

Back

Break the problem into steps: calculate each change in temperature one at a time, keeping track of the current temperature after each step.

Front

What is the significance of drawing a picture in word problems?

Back

Drawing a picture can help visualize the problem, making it easier to understand and solve, especially in problems involving depth or temperature changes.

Front

What is the formula for finding the difference between two integers?

Back

The formula is |a - b|, where a and b are the two integers. This gives the absolute difference.
