Understanding Debt Using Absolute Value in Real Life Scenarios

In this video, we explore how absolute value helps us understand the size of debt in a real-world scenario by looking at a bank account balance of -75 dollars. We calculate the absolute value of -75 as | -75 | = 75, explaining that the absolute value represents the size of the debt, without considering the negative sign. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7c, which focuses on understanding absolute value as the distance from zero and its interpretation as magnitude in real-life situations. Perfect for students learning how to apply absolute value to everyday financial concepts!
