Sorting Absolute Values on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to sort four different values, including negative numbers and absolute values, from least to greatest. The instructor encourages viewers to pause and attempt the task independently before demonstrating how to plot the values on a number line. The tutorial covers the concept of absolute value using -27 and shows how to plot and sort negative values like -17, -28, and -22.4. The process concludes with sorting the values from least to greatest using the number line.
