Comparing and Ordering Integers

Mrs. Soils introduces a lesson on comparing and ordering integers using a number line. The video guides students through filling in notes, practicing examples, and engaging in guided practice. Students learn to graph temperatures, compare records, order numbers, and write inequalities. The lesson concludes with a comparison of cities and a recap of key concepts.
