Activity Instructions

Have a student stand on a negative number of their choosing. Ask them what the absolute value is of that number. Then ask them to jump to that number counting their jumps, first counting down to 0 from where they are standing and then when they pass zero count up until they reach the absolute value of the original number. Have two students stand on either side of the one on the mat with their arms straight over head imitating the absolute value symbol lxl while the student on the mat recites what the absolute value of the number they picked is. “The absolute value of [-3] is 3.”
