Understanding Ordering of Integers

The video tutorial explains how to order integers, both positive and negative, using a number line. It introduces the concept of inequality signs with a 'greedy crocodile' analogy to help remember which number is greater or lesser. The tutorial covers comparing positive numbers, negative numbers, and a mix of both, demonstrating how to arrange them in ascending and descending order. It emphasizes the use of inequality signs to represent these comparisons mathematically.

Which number is greater: positive 2 or positive 9?

• Positive 2

• Positive 9

• They are equal

• Cannot be determined

What does the 'greedy crocodile' represent in mathematics?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Inequality symbols

• Multiplication

Which number is greater: negative 5 or negative 8?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• Negative 8

• Negative 5

What is the correct inequality symbol for negative 8 compared to negative 5?

• Negative 8 > Negative 5

• Negative 8 = Negative 5

• Negative 8 ≥ Negative 5

• Negative 8 < Negative 5

Which number is greater: positive 3 or negative 4?

• Cannot be determined

• Positive 3

• Negative 4

• They are equal

What is the correct inequality symbol for negative 4 compared to positive 3?

• Negative 4 < Positive 3

• Negative 4 > Positive 3

• Negative 4 = Positive 3

• Negative 4 ≥ Positive 3

When arranging numbers in ascending order, which number comes first?

• Positive 3

• Zero

• Negative 10

• Positive 9

In descending order, which number is the most positive?

• Positive 38

• Positive 92

• Negative 28

• Negative 100

What is the correct order of these numbers in ascending order: -5, 3, -2, 7?

• -5, -2, 3, 7

• 3, -2, -5, 7

• 7, 3, -2, -5

• -2, -5, 3, 7

Which of the following is true about positive and negative numbers?

• All negative numbers are greater than zero

• All positive numbers are greater than zero

• All positive numbers are less than zero

• All negative numbers are equal to zero
