Comparing and Ordering Integers

The video tutorial covers comparing and ordering integers using a number line, understanding inequality symbols, and the concept of absolute value. It provides strategies for visualizing integer order and comparing integers using symbols, with practical examples to reinforce learning.

What is the main focus of the lesson in the 1.2 notes?

• Adding and subtracting integers

• Comparing and ordering integers

• Multiplying and dividing integers

• Solving equations with integers

• -9

• -2

Which symbol represents 'less than'?

• >

• =

• <

• ≥

What is a helpful hint to remember the 'greater than' symbol?
