Comparing and Ordering Integers

This video tutorial covers lesson 1.2 on comparing and ordering integers. It begins with setting up notes in the Cornell style, followed by an introduction to integers, including positive and negative numbers. The lesson uses win-loss records from a soccer league to explain how to compare and order integers on a number line. It also covers changes in stock prices and elevation as examples of integer application. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on inequalities, teaching students how to read and interpret inequality symbols.
