How to play the “Absolute Value (Mixed Op) Game”

1. Choose your Challenge
   Level 1 |x|: Focuses on one single expression. Great for practicing the absolute value logic.
   Level 2 |x| [op] |y|: The op can be +,-,×,÷. You must solve two absolute value sets before combining them.
   Level 3 |x| [op] (y): You will see terms like |-7| ÷ (-3). Remember: the bars change the -7, but the parentheses do not change the -3.
   
   
2. The “Identify” Phase
   Before you look at the numbers, look at the operator symbol. Each one requires a different set of rules once the absolute value bars are gone.
   
   
3. The Absolute Bar Phase
   Rule 1: |x| and |-x| always become positive.
   Rule 2: -|x| always becomes negative.
   Rule 3: Parentheses (x) do not change the sign.
