Find how far apart the two values are on a number line.

  1. A diver is at 7 m (below sea level means negative). She swims to −18 m. How many metres did she move up or down? Write the size of the change.
  2. A diver is at −7 m (below sea level means negative). She swims to 16 m. How many metres did she move up or down? Write the size of the change.
  3. A diver is at 20 m (below sea level means negative). She swims to −2 m. How many metres did she move up or down? Write the size of the change.
  4. A diver is at 5 m (below sea level means negative). She swims to −16 m. How many metres did she move up or down? Write the size of the change.
  5. A diver is at 0 m (below sea level means negative). She swims to 5 m. How many metres did she move up or down? Write the size of the change.
