Absolute Value Videos - Lesson 9/14

Today in class we began our chapter on Absolute Value!  In both class, Chapter 2 is about Integers and begins the same way.

Here's a recap of today's lessons:

Integers are the positive and negative whole numbers on a number line.
Absolute Value is the distance a number is from zero on a number line.
