1. Comparing and Ordering Integers
Objective:
Learn to compare and order integers.

2. You can use a number line to compare integers.
On a horizontal number line, the farther to the right a number is, the greater it is.
-2 is to the right of -4, so -2 > (-2 is greater than -4)
-5 is to the left of +2, so -5 < (-5 is less than +2)

3. On a vertical number line,
The farther up the number is in the number line, the greater it is. The lower the number on the vertical number line the smaller it is.
-1 is above -4, so -1 > -4
Your Example:
Use <,>, or = to compare each pair of numbers.
-4 _______ _____ 3
-2 _______ 0
