Using Absolute Value to Describe Distance Traveled in Reverse

In this video, we explore how absolute value can be used to describe reverse movements by looking at a car that reverses for -50 miles. We calculate the absolute value of -50 as | -50 | = 50, explaining that the absolute value represents the total distance traveled, 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 its interpretation as magnitude in real-world contexts. Perfect for students learning how to apply absolute value to measure movement!
