Exploring Integers and Absolute Value Concepts

The lesson covers integers and absolute value, emphasizing the concept of distance from zero. Students practice finding absolute values and comparing integers using symbols like less than, greater than, and equal to. The lesson also includes exercises on ordering integers from least to greatest. Homework is assigned from section 1.1, reinforcing the concepts discussed.
