​Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.

​Learning Target

​I can understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line.

I can interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.

​Essential Question

​How can we use absolute value to find horizontal and vertical distances on the number line, coordinate plane or in the real world?

​When determining if a number is an integer,

make sure it is in it's simplest form.

​If a number is written as a decimal like 25.00, it is equivalent to 25. That is a whole number

​If an improper fraction can be simplified to a whole number, then it is representing an integer. Example: -15/3 is simplified as -5

Unit 6: Integers

​Opposite Numbers

​*Opposite numbers are numbers that are in the same positions but on opposite sides of zero.

​*Example: The opposite of -4.5 is 4.5

​*Zero is its own opposite.

​*The opposite of the opposite of a number is equal to the original number.

​*Example: The opposite of the opposite of 10 is 10.

​*Parentheses don't change the value of a number.

​Absolute Value

​The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line.

​*Absolute value is ALWAYS a positive number.

​*Examples:

​|-12| = 12 |32| = 32
