2. Give the opposite of the following numbers: -6 12.8 - 20 Opposite: Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line but are in opposite directions are opposites.

3. Absolute Value: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero. 3 and -3 are both 3 units from zero and have an absolute value of 3 We write absolute value: 3 Find the absolute value of the following numbers: -8 12 -2.5 the number with no sign.

5. Do the "Check Understanding" p. 25 Example 2 p. p. 26 Examples 3 & 4 Adding Numbers with the Same Sign Same Signs Add & Keep Examples: Adding Numbers with Different Signs Different Signs Subtract Keep sign of "bigger number" (the absolute value of the numbers) then you'll be exact! Examples:
