Using Number Lines to Represent Absolute Value of Integers
A number line shows absolute value as distance from zero. Both 4 and negative 4 sit four units away, which is why their absolute values are equal and why absolute value is never negative.
Type the problems from this lesson and check each step.
- Draw a number line with 0 in the center, and positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left.
- Choose an integer you want to find the absolute value of.
- Drop a vertical line down from the integer to the number line.
- Find the distance between the integer and zero on the number line.
- Label the absolute value of the integer as the distance you just found, making sure to place the label on the positive side of the number line.
- Repeat the process for additional integers, as needed.
