In this performance assessment, students will demonstrate their understanding of calculating distance by taking the absolute value of the difference of two values.
This assessment is best used once students have had instruction and practice calculating distance using subtraction of signed numbers with absolute value.

| Big Ideas | Competencies |
|---|---|
A. Understanding and Applying Number SystemsStudents understand that numbers hold value and can choose the appropriate representations and algorithms to reason quantitatively, abstractly, and efficiently. |
Rational Numbers 1Students can show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference and apply this principle in real-world contexts. |
Below are analytic teacher rubrics. The column on the left shows the dimension that is being measured in the student’s performance. The levels across the top row indicate the performance level in the dimensions. Occasionally all dimensions and performance levels are exemplified by multiple students in a single recording.
