Core Connections: True or False Questions

A statement is true if it is always true. If any part of a statement is false or if you can think of even one example that makes the statement false, the entire statement is false.

Write True or False. If your answer is False, explain your thinking.

The absolute value of any negative number is greater than zero.

The smallest positive number is greater than the absolute value of any negative number.

On a number line, numbers with the same absolute value are the same distance from zero.

The absolute value of zero must be greater than the absolute value of any negative number.

This would be a frustrating problem to do without a calculator.

But if you write it as a fraction, you can simplify to find an easier problem to solve.
