Comparing Integers with Inequality Symbols

The video tutorial explains how to compare integers using inequality symbols such as less than and greater than. It emphasizes that the inequality symbol points towards the lesser value and opens towards the greater value. The tutorial uses a number line to compare pairs of integers: 8 and -4, -3 and 5, and 0 and -4, demonstrating how to determine which value is lesser or greater.

What symbols are used to compare integers?

• Parentheses and brackets

• Plus and minus

• Less than, greater than, and equals

• Multiply and divide

When comparing values, which direction does the inequality symbol point?

• Towards the lesser value

• Towards the middle value

• Towards the greater value

• Towards the equal value

On a number line, where does the lesser value appear?

• On the right

• In the middle

• On the left

• Above the line

Which of the following is true when comparing 8 and -4?

• 8 is greater than -4

• -4 is equal to 8

• 8 is less than -4

• -4 is less than 8

What can we say about -4 when compared to 8?

• -4 is not comparable to 8

• -4 is equal to 8

• -4 is less than 8

• -4 is greater than 8

Which value is always less, a negative or a positive number?

• They are equal

• It depends on the number

• Negative number

• Positive number

When comparing -3 and 5, which statement is true?

• -3 is greater than 5

• -3 is less than 5

• -3 is equal to 5

• -3 is not comparable to 5

On a number line, where is -3 located in relation to 5?

• Below 5

• To the left of 5

• Above 5

• To the right of 5

When comparing 0 and -4, which statement is true?

• 0 is not comparable to -4

• 0 is greater than -4

• 0 is equal to -4

• 0 is less than -4

On a number line, where is -4 located in relation to 0?

• Above 0

• To the left of 0

• To the right of 0

• Below 0
