Absolute Value | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Integers and Other Rational Numbers on Number Line Diagrams (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis animated Math Shorts video explains absolute value, as demonstrated on the number line and through a real-life example. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and then play a game in which they move a penny along a number line in positive and negative directions. As they play, they use absolute value to track the total distance that the penny moves. To get the most from the lesson, students should be comfortable determining distance between positive and negative numbers on a number line.

Converting Rational Numbers | Grades 6-8 Converting Rational Numbers to Decimals With Division (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video, learn how to use division and place value to convert fractions to decimals. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video to help them learn how to convert a fraction to a decimal using division. Then, they turn their attention to placing rational numbers on a number line. Practicing the placement of these numbers reinforces students’ number sense. It also gives them practice converting among the different representations of a single rational number.

Opposite Quantities and Zero Pairs | Thinkport | Grades 6-8 Opposite Signs of Numbers on Sides of the Number Line(Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesExplore numerical opposites by considering the trajectory of a hot air balloon as it rises and falls in this video from MPT. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and then play a game in which they move a button along a number line in positive and negative directions. They find the total amount that the button travels in each direction in order to end up where it started. To get the most from the lesson, students should have some experience finding the distance between positive and negative integers on a number line.

Food Miles: Absolute Values to the Rescue | Grades 6-8 Understanding Absolute Value (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesExplore the concept of absolute value in terms of distances traveled. This video focuses on a real world application of absolute value and visualizes the problem by graphing points on coordinate plane. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.
