  2. Hold old are they????? • Look at the image of the celebrity and estimate their age.

  12. Reflection Questions • If Jim guesses Will Smith was 50 and Sue guesses he is 42, who is closer to his actual age of 46? Who would win? • Who thinks that Jim and Sue are tied? Answer yes or no and explain your answer. • Absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on an number line. How is this like guessing someone’s age?

  13. Reflection Question Responses • Jim’s guess is 4 years over his actual age. Sue’s guess is 4 years under his actual age. Neither person wins. • It is a tie. Both people guessed 4 years from Will Smith’s actual age. Even though Jim’s guess is over, he is still 4 years from Will’s actual age. Sue’s guess is under but not a negative number. It is also 4 years from Will’s actual age. • Guessing someone’s age is very similar to a number’s absolute value. A guess can be either over or under the person’s actual age but is still a positive number (the distance from the person’s actual age). Just like absolute values are always a positive number (counting the distance from zero on a number line).
