Integers & Absolute Value ED

This document discusses integers and absolute value. It defines negative numbers, integers, and absolute value. Absolute value is defined as the distance a number is from zero on the number line. The document provides examples of writing integers in real life contexts using positive and negative signs. It explains how to graph integers on a number line and evaluate expressions involving absolute value by treating the absolute value signs like parentheses. Students are directed to evaluate sample absolute value expressions in their notebooks.

Integers & Absolute Value

Bellwork

• Identify the Property

3. 6+1=1+6
4. 9+0=9
5. 4(6 + 2) = 4(6) + 4(2)
6. 5∙1=5
7. 3 ∙ (4 ∙ 5) = (3 ∙ 4) ∙ 5
Objective
• Students will graph numbers on a number
line and find absolute value
Vocabulary
• Negative Number – A number less than
zero
• Integers – the set of numbers that
includes zero and all positive and negative
non-decimal, non-fraction numbers.
• Absolute Value – The distance a number is
from zero on the number line.
• Note: Absolute value can never be negative!

When we want to find the absolute value of a number,


We write two vertical lines around the number.
r o ? y f r o m 0 .
i t f r o m z e
a c e s a w a
5 is 5 sp
i s
How far

-8 =8 5 =5
Writing Integers
When is a negative number used in real
life?
Writing Integers
• The words like more, greater, higher,
above, etc… can be represented with a
positive sign (+)
Example
3. 3 inches of rain above normal can be
expressed as +3
4. A profit of $750.00 can be expressed as
+ $750
Graphing on a Number line
• Integers can be graphed on a number line.
To do so…simply locate the number on
the number line and put a dot.

• The dot represents the coordinate of that


number on the number line
Evaluating Expressions
• You can evaluate expressions with
absolute value
• Treat the Absolute Value sticks like
parantheses, and do any operations in
them first.
Example
|5| + | -6|
5 + 6 = 11
Evaluating Expressions
• If the expression has an absolute variable use
the substitution method
1. Write the expression
2. Substitute
3. Do the math
Example
8 + |n| where n = -12
8 + | -12|
8 + 12 = 20
• In your notebook write and evaluate the
following:
2. |14|
3. |-9| + |3|
4. |-8| - | -2|
5. 4|a| + b where a = -5 and b = 3
