Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Absolute Value As Distance From 0. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line.
Absolute value is denoted as |x| where x is the distance from 0 on the number line.
Both |x| and |-x| have the same absolute value because they are opposites and equidistant from 0.
