Understanding Debt Comparisons Using Absolute Value

In this video, we explore how to compare debts using absolute value. If you owe -50 dollars and your friend owes -30 dollars, who has a greater debt? By calculating the absolute values of both debts, we show that | -50 | = 50 and | -30 | = 30, meaning the debt of -50 dollars is greater, even though -50 is less than -30 in numerical order. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7d, focusing on distinguishing between comparing absolute values and statements about order. Perfect for students learning how to compare debts using absolute value!
