Comparing and Ordering Integers on a Number Line

This video tutorial explains how to compare and order integers using both horizontal and vertical number lines. It covers the basics of comparing positive and negative integers, ordering them from least to greatest, and using symbols like less than and greater than for advanced comparisons. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, helping students understand the relative positions of integers on number lines.
