absolute value - whitleyae.weebly.com · example: 6 + 1 = 5 + 2 both sides equal the same amount!...

How they Work: Print the flashcard PDF file. Flashcards should be cut horizontally so that there is only one term and its’ coresponding definition on a strip. Then, flashcards can be folded vertically so that the term is on one side and the definition on the other. !!!!!!!Absolute Value !

Absolute Value: !The distance a number is from zero

on a number line. It is always a positive number. !

Example: |-3 x 6| = 18

even though -3 x 6 = −18 absolute value is asking how

far from zero the answer is |−18| = 18

!!Binomial !!!!!!!
