Absolute Value and Opposite Integers Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve each part step by step.

Part A: Write the opposite value of each integer.

The “opposite” of a number means you flip its sign.
- If it’s negative, make it positive.
- If it’s positive, make it negative.

1) Opposite of –11 → +11
2) Opposite of –9 → +9
3) Opposite of 72 → –72
4) Opposite of 33 → –33
5) Opposite of –45 → +45
6) Opposite of –26 → +26
7) Opposite of 68 → –68
8) Opposite of 97 → –97

✔ All correct.

Part B: Write the absolute value of each integer.

Absolute value means “how far from zero?” — always positive (or zero).
Ignore the sign — just take the size of the number.

1) |–71| → 71
2) |–65| → 65
3) |–8| → 8
4) |–44| → 44
5) |23| → 23
6) |–57| → 57
7) |96| → 96
8) |3| → 3

✔ All correct.

Part C: Compare using >, <, or =

We need to evaluate both sides and compare.

1) Opposite of |–12| ___ Opposite of 12
→ |–12| = 12 → opposite of 12 = –12
→ opposite of 12 = –12
So: –12 ___ –12 → =

2) Absolute value of –6 ___ Opposite of |–10|
→ |–6| = 6
→ |–10| = 10 → opposite of 10 = –10
So: 6 ___ –10 → > (because 6 is greater than –10)

3) Absolute value of 51 ___ Absolute value of –87
→ |51| = 51
→ |–87| = 87
So: 51 ___ 87 → <

4) Opposite of –92 ___ Absolute value of 39
→ opposite of –92 = 92
→ |39| = 39
So: 92 ___ 39 → >

✔ All comparisons checked.
