Concept of Comparing Integers

1. Use of Inequality Symbols

  • Inequality symbols are used to indicate the order or comparison between numbers.
  • The symbol < means "is less than," while the other > means "is greater than."

2. Ordering of Whole Numbers

  • When a number a is to the left of another number b On the number line, we write:
    a < b (Read as: a is less than b).
  • When a number a is to the right of another number b, we write:
    a > b (Read as: a is greater than b).

3. Ordering of Integers

  • Integers, like whole numbers, can also be compared using inequality symbols.
  • The number line is a helpful tool for comparing and ordering integers.

4. Direction and Value on a Number Line

  • As we move from left to right, the value of the numbers increases.
  • As we move from right to left, the value of the numbers decreases.
