Math Year 1 Standard Lesson 1.4 Absolute Value
The absolute value of x is the distance x is from zero. The absolute value of x is written as ___________ What is Absolute Value?
Distance, and Absolute Value, and Word Problems…oh my! We see absolute value in the following “real world” applications: Submarines/Sea Level Temperature Distance/Height Numbers Travel
Since absolute value is the distance from zero, absolute value will always be positive. Let’s look at a number line! *The absolute value of 6 would be 6 because it is six units from zero. *The absolute value of -6 would be 6 because it is six units from zero. 0 So How is Absolute Value Calculated? -66
