Prayer

In a group of students, 30 played chess,

19 played volleyball, 25 played
basketball, 14 played both volleyball and
chess, 8 played both basketball and
volleyball, 15 played both basketball and
chess and 5 played both three events.
How many played chess only, basketball
only and volleyball only? How many
students are there in all?

 Unlocking difficulties
• Real Numbers – are any of the numbers from the preceding subsets.
They can be found on the real number line. The union of rational numbers
and irrational numbers is the set of real.
• Rational Numbers – are numbers that can be expressed as a quotient of
two integers. The integer a is the numerator while the integer b, which
cannot be 0 is the denominator. This set includes fractions and some
decimal numbers.
• Irrational Numbers – are numbers that cannot be expressed as a
Quotient of two integers. Every irrational number may be represented by a
decimal that neither repeats nor terminates.
 Unlocking difficulties
• Natural/Counting Numbers – are the numbers we use in counting
things, that is {1, 2, 3, 4, . . . }. The three dots, called ellipses, indicate
that the pattern continues indefinitely.

• Whole Numbers – are numbers consisting of the set of natural or

counting numbers and zero.

• Integers – are the result of the union of the set of whole numbers and
the negative of counting numbers.

 ABSOLUTE VALUE

The absolute value of a number

is the distance of a number
from zero. Remember distance
itself is always positive. The
absolute value of a number n
is written as |𝑛|.
If x is a positive integer, then
the absolute value of x is x.
In symbol: |𝑥|= x, if x >0

Example:
|7| = 7 since 7 is a
positive integer, then the
absolute value of 7 is 7.
If x is equal to zero, then the
absolute value of x is x.
In symbol: |𝑥|= x, if x =0

Example:
|0| = 0 since 0 is
equal to 0, then the absolute
value of 0 is 0.
If x is a negative integer, then
the absolute value of x is the
opposite of x.
In symbol: |−𝑥|= x, if x <0

Example:
|−10| = 10 since -10
is a negative integer, then its
opposite integer is 10.
In writing the absolute value of
a number, just write the
numerical part.

The absolute value of 5 is 5, in

symbol |5| = 5

The absolute value of -5 is 5, in

symbol |−5| = 5
 NUMBER LINE

Number Line –is best described as

a straight line which is extended
in both directions as illustrated
by arrowheads.
 NUMBER LINE
A number line consists of three
elements:
a. set of positive numbers, and is
located to the right of zero.
b. set of negative numbers, and is
located to the left of zero; and
c. Zero.
 Let’s Illustrate!
Represent the following absolute value of a
number on a number line.
1. |𝟔|
Solution:

Since 6 is 6 units from zero, the

absolute value 6 is 6. In symbol, |6| =
6.
Let’s Illustrate!

2. |𝟎|
Solution:

The absolute value of 0 is 0. In

symbol, |0| = 0
Let’s Illustrate!

3. |−𝟑|
Solution:

Since -3 is 3 units from zero, the

absolute value of -3 is 3. In symbol, |
−3|= 3
 Let’s Try
A. Represent the following value
of a number on a number line.
1. |7|=
2. |10|=
3. |12|=
4. |−6|=
5. |−8|=
 Let’s Try
B. Give the absolute value of the following
number lines.
 To sum it up, let us complete the statements. Choose your answer from the box that
best completes each of the statements below.

The 1._________________ of a number is the 2.

______________ of a number from 3.______________.
Remember distance itself is always 4. ____________. The
absolute value of a number n is written as
𝟓._________________.
Here is another activity where you
can apply what you learned about
representing absolute value of a
number on a number line.
A.Write the absolute value that
represents the situation.

Example: A gain of 45 million

|45|=45
1. A loss of 5 lb.
2. 350 ft. below sea level
3. An elevation of 1 050 ft.
4. Php 2, 000 deposit in the
bank
5. A profit of Php 50.00
Solve the following problem involving
absolute value.

1. Jacob’s credit score is 490. What is

the absolute value of 490?

2. Thomas is 245 feet below sea level.

What is the absolute value of the number
of feet he is above sea level?
 Let’s Recall

The absolute value of a number

is the distance of a number
from zero. Remember distance
itself is always positive. The
absolute value of a number n
is written as |𝑛|.
Let’s Recall
Speaking
mathematically,
│5│= 5 is read as
“the absolute value
of 5 is 5.”
│-5│=5 is read as
“the absolute value
of negative 5 is 5.”
Let’s Answer:

A. Give an integer which is the simplest value for the

expression.
1. │24│= _____
2. -│36│= _____
3. │-8 │= _____
4. -│-6│= _____
5. - │10│ = ____
B. Write the absolute value that represents the
situation.

1. A gain of 5 lb.
2. 5 ft. above sea level
3. An depression of 1 50 ft.
4. Php 1, 000 withdrawn in the bank
5. A loss of Php 50.00
 ASSIGNMENT
