Absolute Value Functions - Stations Lab

The document provides instructions for completing a lab called the "A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E Value Stations Lab". Students are asked to visit 8 stations labeled A through E, complete various absolute value problems at each station, and get their work signed off by the teacher. The stations include solving absolute value equations and inequalities, analyzing absolute value functions through tables, graphs and transformations, and other algebraic skills working with absolute value expressions and functions.
