Comparing and Ordering Integers

This lesson focuses on comparing and ordering integers using a number line. It explains that values increase as you move right and decrease as you move left on the number line. The lesson provides examples of comparing integers, such as 2 and -4, and ordering multiple integers from least to greatest and greatest to least. It emphasizes the importance of correctly using negative symbols and provides practice exercises to reinforce the concepts.
