Math Grade 6 Quiz Understanding the Absolute Value of Rational Numbers – 6.NS.C.7.C

This standard requires students to understand the concept of absolute value in the context of rational numbers. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. This means that, whether the number is positive or negative, its absolute value is always positive. Absolute values are often used in real-world contexts to describe magnitudes, such as financial debts or physical distances, that are independent of direction.
