This video by Mr. J provides an introductory mini-course on rational numbers and number lines. It covers identifying, graphing, comparing, and ordering rational numbers using number lines. The video explains that rational numbers can be expressed as fractions of integers, with decimal forms that either terminate or repeat. It demonstrates how to identify and graph these numbers on number lines, compare them by their positions, and order them from least to greatest. The video aims to build a solid understanding of rational numbers and their representation on number lines.

What is a rational number?

• A number that is always negative.

• A number that is always positive.
