About this worksheet

What students practice

Students distinguish the order of signed tracker readings from the order of their absolute values.
Students interpret absolute value as the size of a step-goal gap or heart-rate change.
Students explain why a smaller signed reading can have a greater absolute value.

How to use

Use after introducing absolute value. Have students identify whether each question asks about signed order or distance from zero before answering.

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.

Fitness Tracker: Order or Distance?

Compare signed tracker readings and their distances from zero.

Step Goals: Higher or Farther?

A step gap equals steps recorded minus the daily goal. A negative gap means below the goal; a positive gap means above it. Absolute value gives the distance from the goal.
