Comparing and Ordering Real Numbers in 8th Grade Math

This video tutorial by Mr. Weaver covers eighth grade module two, lesson five, focusing on comparing and ordering real numbers. It explains how to use rational approximations to compare and order real numbers, including irrational numbers. The lesson includes examples of comparing and ordering numbers using decimal approximations, graphing on a number line, and applying these skills to real-world scenarios like probability. The video emphasizes understanding decimal expansions and the importance of using original numbers for accurate comparisons.
