Understanding Depth Below Sea Level Using Absolute Value

In this video, we explore how absolute value helps describe depth below sea level by looking at a submarine positioned at -200 meters. We calculate the absolute value of -200 as | -200 | = 200, explaining that the absolute value represents the magnitude of the depth, without considering the direction. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7c, which focuses on understanding absolute value as distance from zero and interpreting it as magnitude in real-world contexts. Perfect for students learning how to apply absolute value to measure depth!
