In math, an “absolute value” means the distance on a number line between that number and zero. So, /-3/ and /3/ both have an absolute value of 3. A positive stays positive, but a negative is expressed as a positive.
In life, “absolute values” are guiding principles to the way you live your life. If your son needs to see the doctor, but he doesn’t want to go, you would probably take him to the doctor despite his protests. Health, for most of us, is an absolute value. Absolute values help you make wise decisions.
In commerce, “absolute values” are fairly priced services that improve our lives. They are different from bargains. Getting a massage for $20 is a bargain. But if you walk away from the massage table tense and bruised it wasn’t necessarily a good value. A massage of “absolute value” might cost $60 but you walk away relaxed and without kinks and knots in your muscles. If you rave about the service to your friends, it is probably an “absolute value.”
Mathnasium of Littleton and Absolute Values
At Mathnasium of Littleton we are dedicated to teaching math concepts, including “absolute values.” Teaching your values and how to recognize "absolute values" to your children is an important part of parenting. And kids pick up on what you do, more than what you say.
What “absolute values” do you communicate to your child? If you allocate time and money for extracurricular activities, you show your children you value these activities and communicate to them the desirability of having a well-rounded life. Music lessons and private sports coaching typically costs $.75 per minute, or $45 per hour and more. Private academic tutoring runs upward of $100 per hour for some topics!
Mathnasium of Littleton actually costs less than $.50 per minute, significantly lower than most private music and sports lessons as well as private tutoring. Don’t you value your child’s success in math as much, possibly even more so than extracurricular activities?
At Mathnasium of Littleton, we join several groups and forces in asking parents of girls, Latinos, and African-American children to give extra encouragement to their children in math. Unfortunately, our culture still sends discouraging messages to girls and minorities about pursuing math and science. Click here for more info on that topic.
