6th Grade Math Module 3

Front

What is absolute value?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. For example, the absolute value of -20 is 20.

Front

What does a negative integer look like on a number line?

Back

A negative integer is represented to the left of zero on a number line.

Front

How can you identify the y-axis on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line that goes up and down from the origin (0,0).

Front

What does it mean for points to be reflected across the y-axis?

Back

When points are reflected across the y-axis, their x-coordinates change sign while their y-coordinates remain the same.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants based on the signs of the x and y coordinates.

Front

What is the relationship between two points that are reflections across the x-axis?

Back

When points are reflected across the x-axis, their y-coordinates change sign while their x-coordinates remain the same.

Front

What is the definition of a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0,0).

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on a number line?

Back

To find the distance between two points on a number line, subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

Front

What is a positive integer?

Back

A positive integer is a whole number greater than zero, such as 1, 2, 3, etc.
