Comparing and Ordering Integers Challenge

Mrs. Marcelus and Frog Andachi guide students through comparing and ordering integers using number lines and real-world examples. The lesson covers using inequality symbols, understanding integer signs, and applying these concepts to practical situations like temperature and debt. Students learn to order integers and analyze results from a frog jumping contest, reinforcing their understanding of integer values and their applications.

What is the primary learning objective of this lesson?

• To understand fractions

• To solve algebraic equations

• To compare and order integers

• To learn new vocabulary
