Understanding Integers and Absolute Value

The video tutorial introduces the concept of integers, explaining them as positive or negative numbers. It uses a number line to illustrate how numbers to the right are positive and those to the left are negative, emphasizing the concept of opposites. The tutorial then introduces absolute value, describing it as the distance from zero, which is always positive. Through examples, it demonstrates how to determine the absolute value of numbers, encouraging confidence in understanding the concept.
