About this worksheet

What students practice

Students distinguish comparisons of signed values from comparisons of their absolute values.
Students interpret order and distance from zero in track meet results.
Students explain why a greater absolute value does not always mean a greater signed value.

How to use

Use after introducing absolute value and rational number order. Have students identify what zero means on each board before comparing results.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered
