Create a large number line on the floor with fractions or decimals. • Start at zero and walk to 5.5 units. Count each unit as you walk. • Now start at zero and walk to -5.5. • What do you notice about the distance you traveled? • Try again with a different number.
“Absolute Value War” • 1. Using small pieces of paper, write one rational number on each paper. Use both positive and negative numbers. Be sure to include fractions and decimals. • 2. Challenge a friend to a game of “War.” • 3. Shuffle the cards, and deal them out equally. • 4. Each person turns a card over. Say the absolute value of your number. • 5. Whoever has the greater absolute value keeps the cards. • The player with the most cards wins.
