Comparing Integers with Inequalities

The video tutorial explains how to compare integers using a number line. It demonstrates that larger numbers are always to the right and smaller numbers to the left. The tutorial provides examples comparing positive integers, negative and positive integers, and two negative integers. It emphasizes the use of the greater than and less than symbols, likening them to an alligator mouth that opens towards the larger number. The video also highlights reading comparisons in both directions.

What symbols are used to compare integers?

• Plus, minus, and equal

• Greater than, less than, and equal

• Multiply, divide, and equal

• Add, subtract, and equal

Where is the larger number located on a number line?

• On the left

• Above the line

• In the middle

• On the right

If positive 5 is to the right of positive 3 on a number line, what can we conclude?

• Positive 5 is less than positive 3

• Positive 5 is equal to positive 3

• Positive 5 is greater than positive 3

• Positive 5 is not comparable to positive 3
