Absolute Value of a
Lesson Title
Number

Mathematics
 Learning Competency

At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to identify the
absolute value of an integer, and its meaning on the number line.

5
 Learning Targets

At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to do the following:

● Plot integers on the number line.

● Determine the absolute value of integers.
● Order integers from least to greatest and vice versa.
● Solve real-life problems involving absolute value.

6
In math, we often talk about how far things are from
each other.
7
This distance is always a positive number, even if it
goes in different directions.
8
The absolute value of a number helps us understand
this idea of distance, no matter if it is left or right, up
or down.

In this lesson, we will learn what absolute value

means and see how it is used in real life. We will
explore why knowing the absolute value of numbers is
helpful and practice using it through examples and
activities.

Instructions:
3. Locate the number –9 in the number line and put a point by
clicking on the number. Then, determine how far it is from the
point 0.
4. Do the same for the following numbers:
a. 8
b. –4
c. –7
d. 13
e. 0
5. Share your answers with the class.

Warm-Up

Guide Questions:
1. How did you find the distance between the number and zero?
2. What can you say about the distance between the number and
zero?

16
 Learn about It

Absolute Value
This is the distance of a number from zero. It is denoted by the symbol |
a|, where a is any positive or negative number.

Example:
 Let’s Practice

Example
What is the value of |–8|?

18
 Solution to Let’s Practice

Solution:
The integer –8 is eight units away from zero.

Thus, |–8| = 8.

19
 Let’s Practice

Example
Which has a greater value: |–12| or |6|?

20
 Solution to Let’s Practice

Solution:
Even without the use of a number line, we can identify that –12 is twelve
units away from zero and 6 is six units away from zero.

Since 12 > 6, we can say that |–12| > |6|.

21
 Did You Know?

The concept of absolute value was first used in 1806 by Jean-Robert

Argand in the context of complex numbers, though it was not
explicitly defined until later.
 Tips

Remember, the absolute value of a number is always nonnegative.

When comparing absolute values, focus on the magnitude, not the
sign.
 Practical Applications

Finding the absolute value of a number plays an important role in

different fields like geography and economics.

Geography
The concept of absolute value finds practical application in
measuring the shortest distance between two points. Using
absolute value in geographical measurements ensures accuracy
and efficiency in various fields, from urban planning to
environmental conservation.
 Practical Applications

Economics
The absolute value is instrumental in understanding and
calculating price changes, regardless of whether these changes
represent an increase or decrease. This aspect is vital in economic
analysis, especially market trend analysis and financial
forecasting.
 Try This
To be done individually

Compare the two integers using the symbols: >, <, or =.

 Practice Your Skills
To be done individually

Order the values from least to greatest: |–8|, –|12|, 10, |–5|, 9.
 Challenge Yourself
To be done in groups of two to five

Two buses—A and B—left the station at the same time and travelled
at different speeds in opposite directions. After one hour, bus A was
20 kilometers to the left of the bus station and bus B was 24
kilometers to the right of the station. Find the distance between bus
A and bus B.
Key Points

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

number from zero.
