It's been a while since I was in the third grade.. this is SOO embarrassing.. I never thought I would see the day I didn't understand third grade math, but I'm trying to help a friend's son and we don't understand the question.. It says explain how the #7 can have different values.... If we knew what they wanted, I could explain it to him so he could get the answer.. Anybody know?

I'm a former math teacher. I have no idea either.
There must be additional information or context that you haven't provided. Please provide it.
Is this question #8? If so, the question is about question #7. It may have different solutions.
If not, describe the text before the questions and/or the questions before this one.

Perhaps it is referring to the absolute value of 7 and the existence of negative 7. For example I have seven dollars in my wallet or I have an IOU for seven dollars in my wallet. I too am sort of confused on the context of this question.

As a number, it can show how many things there are (7 apples, 7 Dwarfs). As a numeral, it can identify someone without having any numerical significance (Mickey Mantle).
