Understanding Integers and Inequalities

This video tutorial covers the basics of comparing and ordering integers. It begins with an introduction to integers, explaining that they are whole numbers and their opposites. The lesson then applies this concept to analyze team records, using integers to represent wins and losses. The tutorial demonstrates how to plot integers on a number line and order them from least to greatest. It concludes with an introduction to inequalities, teaching how to compare numbers using greater than and less than symbols.
