Absolute Value as Distance from Zero: Sample FAST Questions

Students learn that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, which is why absolute value is never negative.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

The FAST tests this with multiple choice items interpreting absolute value in context and equation editor items where students enter the absolute value of a given rational number.
