How to Use Absolute Value to Analyze Stock Market Fluctuations

In this video, we explore how absolute value helps analyze stock market changes by examining a stock market index that decreased by -35 points in one day. We calculate the absolute value of -35 as | -35 | = 35, explaining that absolute value represents the magnitude of the change without considering whether it was a gain or loss. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7c, focusing on understanding absolute value as distance from zero and its use in real-world situations like stock market fluctuations. Perfect for students learning how to apply absolute value to financial data!
