Comparing Numbers and Absolute Values

The video tutorial introduces the concept of comparing integers, both positive and negative. It provides examples of integer comparisons using symbols like greater than and less than. The tutorial explains the rules for comparing integers, including the use of a number line to determine which numbers are greater or smaller. It also covers the concept of absolute value and how it affects integer comparison. The video aims to help students understand and apply these concepts effectively.
