Integers and Absolute Value Pre-Algebra
What Are You Learning? • I CAN find the absolute value of rational numbers. • I CAN use integers to represent various situations. • I CAN compare integers.
Why Do I Need To Know This? • Using rational numbers to represent situations is important because it allows you to use rational numbers to symbolize real world events and situations.
Vocabulary • Rational Numbers are numbers that can be written as fractions, including terminating and repeating decimals, and integers. • Integers are whole numbers and their opposites. • Negative integers are integers less than zero. • Positive integers are integers greater than zero. • Where might you find integers in the real world?
Notes • Zero is neither positive or negative. • Zero does NOT have an opposite.
