Comparing Integers

You can compare signs (Negative numbers are always smaller than positive numbers) Example: -4 < 5

You can compare numbers using a numberline, numbers that are graphed furthest to the right are greater.

Numbers can be ordered from least to greatest (smallest to biggest) Example: {-5,0, 1, 2,4}

They can also be ordered from greatest to least (biggest to smallest) Example: {10, 9, 4, 0, -1, -5}

The distance between a number and zero Example: l-6l= 6 and l6l=6

opposites are numbers that are the same distance from zero in opposite directions. Example: 3 and -3 are opposites, they both have a distance of 3 from zero.
