Comparing and Ordering Integers Challenge

This video tutorial for 6th-grade students covers the concepts of comparing and ordering integers. It begins with an introduction to integer comparison, using a sea level problem to illustrate the importance of direction and sign in determining altitude. The lesson then shifts to comparing actual and feels-like temperatures, demonstrating how to use a number line for comparison. The tutorial continues with ordering integers from least to greatest and provides several examples to reinforce the concepts. Students are encouraged to practice comparing integers using a number line.

What was the main concept introduced using the sea level problem?

• Comparing temperatures

• Comparing absolute values

• Comparing altitudes

• Comparing distances

When comparing altitudes, why do the signs of the numbers matter?

• Because they indicate the distance

• Because they indicate the time

• Because they indicate the speed

• Because they indicate the direction
