This SAT Sphere lesson focuses on essential SAT test topics in the Absolute Value section. You'll build a strong understanding of core concepts, learn time-saving test-taking strategies, and apply your knowledge to realistic Digital SAT practice questions.
01
Introduction to Absolute Value
Frames the lesson goals—mastering absolute value for equations, inequalities, and real-world distance problems—and reminds students to recall number-line interpretation, numeric comparison symbols, and one-variable linear equation/inequality solving from earlier Fundamentals slides.
02
Definition and Geometric Meaning
Introduces absolute value as a number’s distance from zero on the number line and connects this idea to prior lessons on comparing integers and plotting points.
03
Core Properties of Absolute Value
Establishes fundamental identities (e.g., |a| ≥ 0, |−a| = |a|, |ab| = |a||b|) and refreshes integer and exponent rules needed to verify them.
04
Evaluating Absolute-Value Expressions
Develops skill in substituting numbers into absolute-value expressions and simplifying step by step, including nested bars and mixed operations.
05
Absolute Value Equations: Case Analysis
Shows how to rewrite |ax + b| = c as two linear equations and solve, building on the isolation strategies mastered in the Solving Linear Equations lesson.
06
Guided Practice: Solving Absolute Value Equations
Step-by-step drills that reinforce the two-case method with increasing complexity, highlighting common SAT pitfalls.
07
Absolute Value Inequalities
Teaches how to translate |ax + b| <, ≤, >, ≥ c into compound linear inequalities, refreshing the graphing and interval-notation skills from the Linear Inequalities lesson.
08
Guided Practice: Absolute Value Inequalities
Scaffolded problems that turn the conversion-and-graphing process into a habit, with instant checks for common mistakes.
09
Real-World Applications of Absolute Value
Applies absolute value to distance, deviation, and tolerance scenarios, building on earlier word-problem translation techniques and reinforcing why magnitude matters on the SAT.
10
Key Takeaways and Targeted Practice
Summarizes the absolute-value toolkit, highlights common SAT traps, and gives a final mini-quiz to lock in the lesson.
