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

If the actual temperature is -6 degrees and the feels-like temperature is -14 degrees, which is colder?

• -6 degrees

• -14 degrees

• Cannot be determined

• Both are the same

Which number is the smallest: 28, 20, -6, -14, or 3?

• -14

• -6

• 20

• 28

Which number is greater: -9 or 8?

• -9

• 8

• Both are equal

• Cannot be determined

Which number is greater: 0 or -1?

• Both are equal

• Cannot be determined

• -1

• 0

Which number is greater: -6 or 6?

• 6

• -6

• Both are equal

• Cannot be determined

Which number is greater: 3 or -3?

• -3

• Cannot be determined

• 3

• Both are equal

Which number is greater: 12 or -21?

• Cannot be determined

• Both are equal

• 12

Which number is greater: -12 or -10?

• Cannot be determined

• Both are equal

• -10
