Comparing and Ordering Integers

This video tutorial covers the concepts of comparing and ordering integers. It begins with an introduction to integers and key principles such as positive numbers being greater than negative numbers, and the closer a number is to zero, the larger it is. The tutorial provides examples of comparing integers using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. It also explains how to order integers from least to greatest using a number line. The video concludes with real-life examples, such as comparing temperatures and golf scores, to illustrate the practical application of these concepts.
