To explain what something means. I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers. Our objective is ______. 6.NS.7c– 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.

I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers. Prior Knowledge You already know the opposite is a position on the other side of something. On a number line, the opposite of a number is the same distance from zero, but on the other side of the zero. Zero is it’s own opposite because it is neither negative nor positive. Example: ___ is the opposite of ____ because ______.

I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers.
