The standard
Explain the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from zero on the number line; interpret absolute value as distance for a positive or negative quantity in a relevant situation.
Element 6.NR.3.5 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 6.NR.3: Solve a variety of problems involving whole numbers and their opposites; model rational numbers on a number line to describe problems presented in relevant, mathematical situations.
What students practice
Students find the absolute value of integers, zero, and a few fractions and decimals, read a distance from zero on a vertical number line, and interpret absolute value as how far a quantity is from zero in a situation. A distance is never negative.
