Absolute Difference Word Problems With Integers

Use Integer Operation Rules Reference and Check as a review at the start. Assign Integer Operations, Two Steps before the sheets on parentheses, absolute value and powers, and finish with the running totals and word problem sheets.

Write distances as absolute differences for a submarine and a drone, tides, golf scores and divers. The directions on the page read: Write each distance as an absolute value of a difference, |first value − second value|, with values in the order they are named. Show your work, then write the distance with its unit. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade integers, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

Work inside parentheses first, then powers, then multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right. Integer Operations, Two Steps practices the multiply and divide before add and subtract step.

A minus sign inside the parentheses is squared along with the 4, so (-4) squared is 16. A minus sign outside is not squared, so negative 4 squared is -16. Integer Operations With Powers and Grouping practices this.

Absolute value bars group like parentheses, so find the value inside first and then take its absolute value. Integer Operations With Absolute Value has problems such as |(-9) + 4| x 3.

Try each of plus, minus, times and divide in the circle and use the order of operations to test it. Missing Operation Signs Between Integers has exactly one correct way to fill each equation.
