B. DISCUSSION:
Discuss with the students on:
How to find absolute value in a number line?

NUMBER LINE

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.

Example1:

The absolute value of 5 is 5 ; distance from 0: 5 units

Example2:

The absolute value of  5 is 5; distance from 0: 5 units

Practice:
+ - + - + - + -
Using the number line below, find the absolute value of   3,   3,    7,    5,   9,   8,   4,   4.   

|+3| = |+7| = |+9| = |+4| =

|-3| = |-5| = |-3| = |-4| =

C. INPUT:

The absolute value of a number is the distance of a number from zero.

Remember distance itself is always positive. The absolute value of a number 𝑛 is
written as |𝑛|.

• If x is a positive integer, then the absolute value of x is x.

In symbol: |𝑥| = x, if x > 0

Example: |7| = 7 since 7 is a positive integer, then the

absolute value of 7 is 7.

• If x is equal to zero, then the absolute value of x is x.

In symbol: |𝑥| = x, if x = 0

Example: |0| = 0 since 0 is equal to 0, then the absolute

value of 0 is 0.
• If x is a negative integer, then the absolute value of x is the opposite of x.
In symbol: |−𝑥| = x, if x < 0
Example: |−10| = 10 since -10 is a negative integer, then its
opposite integer is 10.

In writing the absolute value of a number, just write the numerical part.

The symbol for absolute value is two straight lines ││ surrounding the
number or expression for which you wish to indicate absolute value.
|6| = 6 means the absolute value of 6 is 6.
| 6| = 6 means the absolute value of  6 is 6.
 Illustration:
Represent the following absolute value of a number on a number line.

1. |𝟔|
6 units

Solution: Since 6 is 6 units from zero, the absolute value 6 is 6.

In symbol, |6| = 6.

2. The absolute value of 2 +  7 is 5.distance of sum from 0: 5 units

2. |𝟎| Solution: The absolute value of 0 is 0. In symbol, |0| = 0

3. |−𝟑|

Solution: Since -3 is 3 units from zero, the absolute value of -3 is 3.

In symbol, |−3|= 3

D. DEEPENING:

PRACTICE: Represent the following value of a number on a number line.

1. │4│ =
2. │-3│ =
3. │5│ =
4. │-8│ =
5. │-11│ =
E. SYNTHESIS:

To sum it up, let us complete the statements. Choose your answer from the box
that best completes each of the statements below.

|𝒏 | Absolute value
zero positive Distance

The 1._________________ of a number is the 2. ______________ of a number from

3.______________. Remember distance itself is always 4. ____________. The
absolute value of a number 𝒏 is written as 5._________________.
