Absolute Value and Integers
Integers less than zero Integers greater than zeroare negative integers are positive integers
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
negatives are zero is neither positives CAN written with negative nor be written a (-) sign positive with a (+) sign
Integers & Absolute Value
Writing Integers to describe each
Real-Life Situation
Example 1: an increase of 6 inches
Example 2: scored 10 fewer points
Example 3: a loss of 7 pounds
Example 4: earned 5 dollars interest
Example 5: a temperature of 9 degreesbelow zero
Integers & Absolute Value
Writing Integers to describe each
Real-Life Situation
Example 1: an increase of 6 inches → + 6
Example 2: scored 10 fewer points → - 10
Example 3: a loss of 7 pounds → - 7
Example 4: earned 5 dollars interest → + 5
Example 5: a temp of 9 degrees below zero → - 9
Integers & Absolute Value
What is absolute value?Definition: The distance of a number away from zero
on the number line
What does absolute value look like?
the absolute
value of 7 | 7 | = 7
the absolute
value of – 7 | – 7 | = 7
Integers & Absolute Value
What does absolute value look like on a number line?
7 units 7 units
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Integers & Absolute Value
Evaluate the expression.
Example 1: | 3 |
Example 2: | - 68 |
Example 3: | 6 | + | - 9 |
Example 4: | - 8 | - | - 9 |
Absolute Value Practice
Evaluate 6 + | b | if b = - 16.
6 + | b | = 6 + | - 16 |
= 6 + 16
= 22
Evaluating Absolute Value
Integers & Absolute Value
Absolute Value in real life!An eyeglass prescription is given as a positive or
negative number. A prescription for a person who is farsighted is positive. A prescription for a person who is nearsighted is negative. The greater absolute value, the stronger the prescription. Which prescription is stronger, -3 or 2?
Step 1: Think about the problem. What information was given and what am I trying to figure out?
Integers & Absolute Value
Absolute Value in real life!An eyeglass prescription is given as a positive or
negative number. A prescription for a person who is farsighted (can’t see near) is positive. A prescription for a person who is nearsighted is negative. The greater absolute value, the stronger the prescription. Which prescription is stronger, -3 or 2?
Step 2: Determine the answer
What is the absolute value of each prescription?
| -3 | | 2 |
3 2
Which prescription is greater?
-3!

A seagull is flying at an altitude of 107 feet and a shark is swimming at a depth of 112 feet relative to sea level. Which animal is farther from sea level?
Sea level (0 feet)
107 feet
-112 feet
