Ordering Integers

Front

What are negative numbers?

Back

Negative numbers are numbers that are less than zero and are located on the left side of zero on a number line.

How do you compare two integers, such as -5 and -10?

Back

To compare integers, determine which number is further to the left on the number line. Since -5 is to the right of -10, -5 > -10.

Front

Order the following integers from least to greatest: 7, -12, 5, -10, -7, 3.

Back

-12, -10, -7, 3, 5, 7

Front

Order the following integers from least to greatest: -5, 10, -15, -20, 25.

Back

-20, -15, -5, 10, 25

Front

What is the position of zero on a number line?

Front

How do you identify the greatest integer in a set of integers?

Back

The greatest integer is the one that is furthest to the right on the number line.

Front

What is the relationship between negative integers and positive integers?

Back

Negative integers are less than zero, while positive integers are greater than zero.

Front

What is the result of comparing -3 and -7?

Back

-3 > -7 because -3 is closer to zero on the number line.
