    This document discusses analyzing errors in math skills and determining the appropriate type of error measurement. It asks questions about whether absolute error always requires taking the absolute value, situations where sign of the error value matters, when approximation is appropriate versus needing exact values, and how error size can help decide if approximation is acceptable. The document considers which type of error measurement to use and reflects on measuring error without absolute value and importance of error sign or size.

    Let us reflect
    • Which type of error is the best to use?
    • Absolute error is the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the measured value .
    Could you measure the absolute error without taking the absolute value?
    • Think of situations when it would be better not to use the absolute value to describe an error. When is it
    important to know whether the error has a positive or the negative value?
    • Why do we use approximation instead of exact amount is it always appropriate to use approximation?
    • Is it important to know the exact values or can we always use approximations how can knowing the size of
    an error in the measurement help you decide whether is approximation acceptable?
