Absolute Value Function

A quote that I felt I wanted to share..

I want to be a math teacher like the absolute value function. All students must leave my class feeling positive about maths. Those who enter with a positive attitude remain just that way, and those who join with a negative attitude are able to reverse this feeling and become positive about mathematics. 

This is how I introduce my students to the concept of absolute value function. That is what helps me in my mission of making maths more meaningful, more alive and more positive. Hope it helps you and your students as well.
