Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Absolute value is the distance a number is from zero on a number line, so it is never negative. This worksheet helps students read the absolute value bars, evaluate whole-number and integer expressions, and connect the idea to real situations like depth below sea level and temperature.
The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box explains distance from zero with two worked examples and notes that opposite numbers share the same absolute value. Section A has six expressions to evaluate. Section B on page 2 has four word problems about opposites, a diver’s depth, comparing absolute values, and temperature.
Page 3 is a complete answer key with every value and the reasoning for each word problem. The worksheet pairs well with the Adding and Subtracting Integers and Comparing Numbers worksheets.
