Evaluate Expressions

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a series of mathematical problems focused on the concept of absolute value. Each of the 12 problems consists of a sequence of integers, each enclosed in absolute value bars, and the task is to evaluate the absolute value of each number. The sequences include both positive and negative integers, and some problems involve multiple absolute value expressions to be evaluated separately. The students are expected to write the absolute value of each integer in the provided spaces.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to determine the absolute value of integers, which is the numerical value of a number disregarding its sign. By working through these problems, students practice recognizing that the absolute value of a number is always non-negative because it represents the distance from zero on the number line. The exercise helps students become familiar with evaluating multiple absolute values within a single problem. This is a foundational skill that students will use in more complex mathematical operations and equations involving absolute values.
