Understanding Integer Comparisons

The video tutorial explains how to compare integers using greater than and less than symbols. It emphasizes the use of a number line to visualize integer placement, with positive integers to the right of zero and negative integers to the left. The tutorial provides examples comparing integers, highlighting that larger numbers are always to the right on the number line. It also explains that negative integers are always less than positive integers. Through examples, the video demonstrates how to use inequality symbols to compare integers effectively.

What is the purpose of using a number line when comparing integers?

• To help visualize the position of numbers relative to each other

• To make the process more complicated

• To make the numbers look bigger

• To add more numbers to the comparison
