1. Integers & Absolute Value

2. Integers & Absolute Value
Objectives:
To be able to identify, compare, and order positive and negative integers.
To be able to determine the absolute value of numbers and expressions.
Why learn this: To use positive and negative numbers to measure temperature, height (as in above and below sea level), money, and more. We use absolute value to determine the distance from a point, without regard to the direction we are moving from that point.

3. Integers & Absolute Value
Vocabulary:
Integer - all positive whole numbers, their opposites, and zero
Opposites - two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line, but in opposite directions. Ex. 2, -2
Number Line -
Absolute Value - a number’s distance from zero on the number line (always a positive value).

4. WHERE DO WE SEE INTEGERS IN OUR DAILY LIVES
Money!
Temperature!
Elevations (height or depth of places in the world)
Years
Time
Recipes/Cooking
Integers are EVERYWHERE!

5. Integers less than zero Integers greater than zero
are negative integers are positive integers
negatives are zero is neither positives CAN
written with negative nor be written
a (-) sign positive with a (+) sign

6. 5 positives Integers greater than zero
are written are positive integers
with + sign 2
1 zero is neither
0 negative nor
positive -2
negatives
written with Integers less than zero
-5 a - sign are negative integers

7. Writing Integers in Real-Life Situations
Write an integer to describe each situation
Example 1: an increase of 6 inches
+ 6
Example 2: owe your parents $15
- 15
Example 3: a loss of 7 pounds
- 7
Example 4: earned 5 dollars interest
+ 5
Example 5: a temperature of 9 degrees below zero
- 9

8. Graphing integers on a Number Line
Graph each integer on the number line
Example 1: Graph - 4 on the number line
Example 2: Graph - 8 on the number line
Example 3: Graph + 10 on the number line
Example 4: Graph + 2 on the number line

9. Graphing integers on a Number Line
Graph each integer on the number line
Example 1: Graph - 4 on the number line
Example 2: Graph - 8 on the number line
Example 3: Graph + 10 on the number line
Example 4: Graph + 2 on the number line

10. Extension The number shows the amounts of money Erica,
Jerry, Bob, and Ray
have in their wallets or
owe one of their parents.
Who has the most money?
Who has the least money?
Who owes four dollars? 10
Ray 8 6 4
Erica 2
- 2
Jerry
- 4
- 6
- 8
Bob
-10

11. Quick Practice Write the opposite of each number. 2 b) 4 c) -3 d) -11
2 b) 4 c) -3 d) -11
a) -2 b) -4 c) 3 d) 11

12. Graphing integers on a Number Line
When graphing integers on a number line, make sure to:
Use at least 3 numbers
Use one number that is less then the number (to the left) and one number that is greater (to the right)
Put a dot to indicate which integer you are graphing
Example: Graph -3 on a number line:

13. Comparing Integers

14. Comparing Integers
Replace the □ with <, >, or = to make the sentence true.
Example 1: - 9 □ 8
- 9 < 8
Example 2: 83 □ 84
83 < 84
Example 3: 5 □ - 5
5 > - 5
Example 4: - 6 □ - 4
- 6 < - 4
Example 5: - 7 □ - 7
- 7 = - 7

15. Ordering Integers
Order each set of integers from least to greatest.
Example 1: - 162, - 10, - 81, 59 →
- 162, - 81, - 10, 59
Example 2: 9, - 8, 4, - 9 →
- 9, - 8, 4, 9
Example 3: 2, 6, - 2, 0 →
- 2, 0, 2, 6
Example 4: 7, 5, - 1, - 5 →
- 5, - 1, 5, 7

16. Quick Practice Which number in the pair is farther away from zero.
a) 4, -5 b) 2, 5 c) -1, -3 d) -12, 11
a) -5 b) 5 c) -3 d) -12

17. Integers & Absolute Value
What is absolute value?
The distance of some number from zero on the number line
Absolute Value is ALWAYS positive!
What does absolute value look like?
7 units units

18. Integers & Absolute Value
What is absolute value?
The distance of some number from zero on the number line (ALWAYS Positive)
What does absolute value look like?
the absolute
value of 7 | 7 | = 7
value of – 7 | – 7 | = 7

19. Integers & Absolute Value
Evaluate the expression.
Example 1: | 3 | 3
Example 2: | - 68 | 68
Example 3: | 6 | + | - 9 |
= 15
Example 4: | - 8 | - | - 9 |
8 – 9
= -1

20. Quick Practice Find each absolute value. l-21l b)l14l c) l-1l d)l21l
a) 21 b)14 c) 1 d)21

21. Integers & Absolute Value
Extension
Evaluate 6 + | n | if n = - 16.
6 + | n | = 6 + | - 16 | =
= 22

22. 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?

23. 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 |
Which prescription is greater?
-3!

24. Absolute Value in real life!
