About this skill
Absolute value is the distance from zero, so it is never negative.
How to teach it
- Draw a number line for every problem at first.
- Use temperature and elevation as real contexts.
- Say 'negative' aloud, not 'minus', for the number itself.
Mistakes to watch for
- Thinking −9 is greater than −3 because 9 is greater than 3.
