About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students distinguish comparisons of signed practice differences from comparisons of their absolute values.
  • Students interpret larger absolute values as greater differences from a practice target.

How to use

Have students read each sign convention before answering. Discuss why a lower signed number can represent a larger difference from a target.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.NS.C.7.d

Tell comparisons of absolute value apart from statements about order, such as a larger debt being a smaller balance.
