Integers in

Real Life
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
Use negative numbers in practical situations.
Represent integers on the number line.
Compare and order integers.
Describe and illustrate the absolute value of a number on the
number line as the distance of the number from 0.

Lunar Temperature
There is no atmosphere on the moon and that is why
astronauts must wear spacesuits to enable them to
breathe.

Is the temperature on the moon HOT or COLD?

At night, the temperature on the moon reaches or

even lower, depending on the location. During the day, it
goes above . Astronauts survive extremes of temperatures
only because they wear spacesuits.

Your Turn!

The value of the land has appreciated

by Php 50 000.
Your Turn!

The budget surplus amounts to Php

10 000 000.
Your Turn!

The shop recorded a loss of Php 8

000.
Your Turn!

A scuba diver explores mineral

deposits at a depth of 70 meters.
Your Turn!

Php 5 000 are withdrawn from a

bank account.
Integers
Numbers that are of the same distance from zero on a number line are
called opposites.

Absolute Value
 

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

zero on the number line. It is denoted by two bars .
