Lesson 1-4 Integers and Absolute Value

On Monday the students received their books that they are to keep at home in order to finish assignments and study. They will not need to bring these back until the end of the school year.

Integers are any number that is a reduced non-decimal/fraction number. They can be both positive and negative. I like to refer to them as "pretty numbers" because they are the kind that we like working with most of the time.

Absolute value is the distance a number is away from zero. The absolute value will always be positive.

We covered this in class, but the idea is very simple. Whenever a number or expression is within the absolute value symbols, the outcome will always be positive.

The homework for this section was Page 19, 12 -50 evens, 54, 58, and 63-68 all.
