How to Compare Bank Balances Using Absolute Value and Order

In this video, we explore how to compare bank account balances using absolute value and order. John has -40 dollars in his account, while Mary has -25 dollars. By calculating the absolute values, we find that | -40 | = 40 and | -25 | = 25, showing that John’s debt is larger. Although -25 is greater than -40, the absolute value reveals that John's account is further from zero, meaning he owes more. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7d, helping students understand the difference between absolute value and order in real-world situations.
