Solving Absolute Value Inequalities visually and algebraicly

Solving absolute value inequalities often is very misunderstood by our students.  I know several textbooks lay out four different scenarios in a table that students often try to memorize and then misuse or misapply.  Here is a simple technique that relies on logic and visualization to solve them (but be prepared, there is a quiz at the end!) This is my own creation for a technique that I use in my classroom using endpoints and regions.  The video was produced using Smart Notebook software capture in Camtasia Studio.
