How to Use Absolute Value to Describe Temperature Changes

In this video, we explore how absolute value helps describe temperature changes by looking at a temperature drop of -15°F overnight. We calculate the absolute value of -15 as | -15 | = 15, explaining that the absolute value represents the magnitude of the temperature change, without considering the direction of the drop. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7c, which focuses on understanding absolute value as the distance from zero and interpreting it as magnitude in real-world situations. Perfect for students learning how to apply absolute value to temperature changes!
