Worksheet variations

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, so it is never negative.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Thinking absolute value means "change the sign", so |5| becomes −5.
  • Taking the absolute value of each number inside the bars before doing the operation.
  • Dropping a negative sign that sits outside the bars, as in −|−6| = −6.
