Exploring Integer Word Problems

Mr. Williams teaches seventh-grade math, focusing on solving integer word problems using absolute value. The video includes examples such as borrowing money, diving board distances, temperature differences, and tree height calculations. Students are encouraged to practice with provided problems.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving integer word problems

• Learning about fractions

• Studying historical mathematics

• Understanding geometry

If you borrow $10 and repay $7, how much do you still owe?

• $7

• $17

• $10

• $3

What is the correct interpretation of absolute value in the context of debts and credits?

• Net balance

• Credit score impact

• Total amount owed

• Distance from zero

What does absolute value represent in the context of the diving board example?

• Total vertical distance covered

• Depth of the water

• Speed of the dive

• Height of the diving board

How is the total distance of Kaden's dive calculated?

• Subtracting the deepest point from the highest

• Adding the heights above and below water

• Multiplying the heights

• Dividing the total height by two

In the diving example, if Kaden dives 8 feet below water level after jumping from a 10 feet high board, what is the total distance of his dive?

• 8 feet

• 2 feet

• 18 feet

• 10 feet

What is the temperature difference between Goshen and Antarctica?

• 11 degrees

• 31 degrees

• 10 degrees

• 21 degrees

What does the temperature difference calculation between two places involve?

• Adding the absolute values of temperatures

• Subtracting the lower temperature from the higher

• Calculating the average temperature

• Determining the highest temperature

How do you calculate the total height of a tree including its roots?

• Add the height above and below ground

• Subtract the depth from the height

• Multiply the visible height by two

• Average the depth and height

If a tree's visible height is 18 feet and the roots are 6 feet deep, what is the total height of the tree?

• 6 feet

• 18 feet

• 24 feet

• 12 feet
