A table of each state's record temperature reports data that middle schoolers can place on a number line for analysis. A written explanation of how to use this tool and the concept of absolute value are also included. Nine questions are mixed in for learners to answer by comparing absolute values of several temperature ranges. A terrific three-page worksheet that will help meet more than one of the Common Core math standards for both the sixth and seventh grades.
