Numbers on a number line

Mathematics · Number Representation & Place Value · conceptual

Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from zero on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude in real-world contexts; distinguish absolute value comparisons from ordering statements

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Define absolute value as distance from zero on a number line
  • Calculate the absolute value of positive and negative rational numbers
  • Distinguish between comparing absolute values and comparing signed numbers in real-world contexts

Check your understanding

Can Numbers on a number line tell you that the absolute value of −7 is 7 — because it's 7 steps from zero on a number line regardless of direction — and use this idea to compare distances?
