Lesson 1 Key Points
Vocabulary Terms
Integer - any positive or negative whole number including zero.
Real number - any number on the number line.
Negative integer - a whole number less than zero.
Positive integer - a whole number greater than zero.
Absolute value - the distance from zero of a number on a number line, always positive.
Opposites - numbers the same distance from zero but on different sides of zero on the number line.
