Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers

The video tutorial introduces the topic of ordering and comparing rational numbers. It begins with a learning target focused on comparing fractions, decimals, and percents. The concept of rational numbers is explained as numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. The tutorial then covers the concepts of ascending and descending order, followed by an explanation of the different forms of rational numbers: fractions, decimals, and percents. Finally, a practical example is provided using a number line to demonstrate how to order rational numbers.
