Comparing and Ordering Integers Mastery

The video tutorial explains how to compare and order integers using number lines. It begins with an introduction to number lines, emphasizing the increase of values to the right and decrease to the left. The tutorial provides examples, such as comparing -4 and 2, and explains the use of less than and greater than symbols. It also demonstrates using a vertical number line to compare 3 and -5. Finally, it shows how to order a set of integers from least to greatest using a number line.

What happens to the values on a number line as you move to the right?

• They decrease

• They increase

• They stay the same

• They become negative

Where are negative integers located on a number line?

• Below zero

• To the left of zero

• To the right of zero

• Above zero

Which number is greater: -4 or 2?

• -4

• Cannot be determined

• 2

• They are equal

What does the less than symbol look like?

• >

• =

• <

• ≠

How can you remember the less than symbol?

• It looks like an alligator opening its mouth

• It looks like an equal sign

• It looks like a minus sign

• It looks like a greater than symbol

On a vertical number line, where are positive integers located?

• To the left of zero

• To the right of zero

• Above zero

• Below zero

Which number is greater: 3 or -5?

• They are equal

• Cannot be determined

• -5

• 3

What is the least integer among -8, 3, -5, 0, and -2?

• 0

• -8

• 3

• -5

What is the correct order from least to greatest for the integers -8, 3, -5, 0, and -2?

• -2, -5, -8, 0, 3

• -8, -5, -2, 0, 3

• 3, 0, -2, -5, -8

• 0, -2, -5, -8, 3

Why is it important to ensure consistent spacing when drawing a number line?

• To make it look neat

• To accurately compare values

• To use less paper

• To make it colorful
