Understanding Integers

The video tutorial introduces the concept of integers, explaining their definition and representation on a number line. It covers positive and negative integers, their opposites, and how to correctly read and write them. The tutorial also demonstrates how to compare and order integers using a number line, emphasizing the importance of direction in determining value.

What is the opposite of a positive integer?

• Zero

• Another positive integer

• A fraction

• A negative integer

What is the value of zero in relation to positive and negative integers?

• Equal to all integers

• Neither positive nor negative

• Less than negative integers

• Greater than positive integers

Where are positive integers located on a number line?

• Above zero

• To the right of zero

• To the left of zero

• Below zero

What happens to the value of integers as you move to the right on a number line?

• The value decreases

• The value increases

• The value stays the same

• The value becomes negative

How should negative integers be correctly read?

• Negative

• Minus

• Subtract

• Less

Which term is incorrect when referring to negative integers?

• Subtract

• Less

• Minus

• Negative

Which of the following is greater: -3 or -6?

• -6

• Cannot be determined

• -3

• They are equal

If -5 is to the left of 3 on a number line, what can be said about -5?

• -5 is equal to 3

• -5 is not comparable to 3

• -5 is less than 3

• -5 is greater than 3

What is the correct order from smallest to largest: -5, 0, 3, -3, 1?

• 0, -5, 1, 3, -3

• 3, 1, 0, -3, -5

• -5, -3, 0, 1, 3

• -3, -5, 0, 1, 3

In ordering integers, which direction on the number line represents increasing values?

• Down

• Up

• Right

• Left
