    1) The document defines absolute value as the distance between a number and zero on the number line. Absolute value is denoted by two vertical lines around the number. 2) It gives examples of finding the absolute value of different numbers such as |5| = 5 and |-5| = 5. 3) The number line can be used to represent absolute value, with |x| = 2 representing all numbers whose distance from zero is 2.

    Lesson 1

    Absolute Value of a Number


    MELC: Represents the absolute value of a number on a number line as the distance of a
    number from 0. (M7NS-Ic-1)

    Objectives:
    1. Define Absolute Value.
    2. Find the absolute value of a number.
    3. Represent the absolute value of a number on a number line as the
    distance of a number from 0.

    Directions: Study the picture carefully, then answer the questions that follow.
    Chen and Klay both came from their friend’s house. From there, Chen walked in the right
    direction, while Klay walked in the left direction.

    1. Starting at 0, how many steps did Chen take to where she stands? Also, how many
    steps did Klay take to where he is now in the picture?
    ____________________________________________________________
    2. What can you say about the direction that Chen and Klay are heading?
    a. the same b. opposite c. parallel d. intersecting
    3. Who walked the farther distance from their friend’s house - Chen or Klay?

    1. Chen has 9 steps starting at 0, as does Klay, 9 steps.
    2. Chen and Klay walked in opposite directions.
    3. Chen and Klay had the same number of steps, therefore, they walked with
    the same distance.

    Concept of the Absolute Value

    The absolute value of a number x, denoted by │x│, read as “the absolute value of x”, is the
    distance between the number x from 0 on the number line. Since we are referring to distance, the
    absolute value of a number can never be negative. However, if a negative sign is outside, it is not
    affected by the absolute value symbol.

    The symbol for absolute value is two straight lines surrounding the number or expression
    for which you wish to indicate absolute value, │ │.

    1) The absolute value of 5 is 5, (|5| = 5).


    2) The absolute value of –5 is 5, (|−5| = 5).

    The number line is not just a way to show distance from zero, it is also a good way to graph
    absolute value.

     |x| = 2. To show x on the number line, you need to show every number whose absolute
    value is 2.

    Other Examples:

    |6| = 6 (read as “the absolute value of 6 is 6”)

    |−10| = 10 (read as “the absolute value of –10 is 10”)

    −|−8 |= −8 (read as “the negative of absolute value of –8 is –8”)

    −|x|= −x (read as “the negative of the absolute value of x is –x”)

    Now, let us find the absolute value of a number observing the indicated
    operations.
    1) |8 + 12| = |20| = 20 2) |16 – 9| = |7| = 7 3)−|14 – 6| = −|8 | = −8
