1. 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.

2. 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 ______.

3. I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers.
Concept
Any integer or fraction
The absolute value of a rational number is its distance from zero on the number line.
Absolute means definite
A value means what something is worth
The absolute value of a rational number is ________________. 1 2 3 4
The absolute value of 4 is 4 because it is four units away from zero on the number line. 4 3 2 1
The absolute value of -4 is 4 because it is four units away from zero on the number line.

4. Concept Explain why I3I is 3.
I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers.
Concept
The absolute value of a rational number is its distance from zero on the number line.
The mathematical symbol for absolute value is two vertical lines on both sides of the rational number. When you see I3I on a math assignment, you are being asked to identify the absolute value of the number 3.
Explain why I3I is 3.
The absolute value of 3 is 3 because ____________________.

5. Concept

10. Relevance
I will use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers.
It is relevant to use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers because in the future you will need to understand that if you have a negative balance, you owe a positive amount of money.
It is also relevant to use a number line to interpret absolute values of positive and negative numbers because if you travel to a negative elevation, you will understand how far below sea level you actually traveled.
