A. Introduction What I Need to Know
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Describe the absolute value of a number on a number line.
2. Illustrate the distance of the number from 0.
3. Simplify absolute value
4. Appreciate the concepts learned under absolute value.
5. Determine the concepts in adding and subtracting integers.

TASK 1:
Illustrate the following using the number line and identify the number.
1. 5 units to the right of zero
2. 5 units to the left of 0
3. 7 units to the right of 0
4. 7 units to the left of 0
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero
the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative.
TASK 2:
On a separate sheet of paper, illustrate a sea with the follow-ing: a crab 5ft. below sea level, a cliff 3 ft. above the sea level, and a flying bird
4 ft. above sea level. Use a vertical number line to help you out in the illustration.
After making the drawing, study it carefully and answer the questions below.
1. What Number might be a good representation for the sea level?
2. How do represent the distance below and above the sea level?
3. How far is the cliff from the sea level?
4. How far is the bird from the sea level?
5. How far is the crab from the sea level?
6. What is the distance between the cliff and the crab?
7. What is the distance between the bird and the crab?

TASK 4:
Simplify the following:
1. │+15│
2. │-65│
3. │+5│+ │-5│
4. │-23│- │+8│
5. │12│+│-14│
What is it?
Keep in Mind
The absolute value of a number, │n │, is the distance of the given number on the number line from zero. The absolute value of a
number disregards the direction from where it lies wit respect to zero. When we talk of distance, it is always positive. The absolute value of
two, written as│2│, represents its distance from 0 on the number line.
Illustrative Example 1. Represent │6│on the number line.
6 is 6 units from 0.
Thus, the absolute value of 6 is 6, that is, │6│= 6
2.
Kate gets into the elevator on the third floor of a shopping mall. She goes up 6 floors to reach the food court. After an hour, she went down 2
floors to buy books. At which floor is she now?
