Locating and Comparing Integers and Rational Numbers on a Number Line

This video tutorial explains how to use number lines to locate, compare, and order integers and rational numbers. It begins with an introduction to number lines and their purpose, followed by a detailed explanation of positive and negative numbers. The tutorial then covers how to place fractions and decimals on a number line, using examples to illustrate the process. Finally, it demonstrates how to order numbers from least to greatest on a number line. The video concludes with a prompt to subscribe for more educational content.
