Integers:
Comparing and
Ordering

• How do we compare and order
rational numbers?

Rational Numbers
Integers
Whole Numbers
(Positive Integers)
Fractions/Decimals
Negative Integers
Rational numbers
•Numbers that can be written as a fraction.
Example: 2 = 2 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2
1
Whole Numbers
• Positive numbers that are not
fractions or decimals.

Integers
• The set of whole numbers and their
opposites.

Negative Integers
• Integers less than zero.

Comparing Integers
• The further a number is to the right
on the number line, the greater it’s
value.
< -1
Ex: -3 ___
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1

-1 is on the right of -3, so it is the greatest.
Comparing Integers
• The farther a number is to the right
on the number line, the greater it’s
value.
> -5

2 is on the right of -5, so it is the greatest.

0 is on the right of -2, so it is the greatest.
Ordering Integers
When ordering integers from least to
greatest follow the order on the
number line from left to right.
Ex: 4, -5, 0, 2
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Ordering Integers
When ordering integers from greatest
to least follow the order on the
number line from right to left.

c. -156 ___
d. Order from least to greatest:

EQ
• How do we find the absolute value of
a number?
Absolute Value
• The distance a number is from zero
on the number line.
Symbols: |2| = the absolute value of 2
Start at 0, count the jumps to 2.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1
0

It takes two jumps from 0 to 2.
|2| = 2

It takes four jumps from 0 to -4.
|-4| = 4

Solving Problems with
Absolute Value
When there is an operation inside the
absolute value symbols; solve the
problem first, then take the absolute
value of the answer.
Ex: |3+4| =|7| =7
Ex: |3|- 2 = 3-2 = 1
Hint: They are kind of like
parentheses – do them first!
Try This:
a. |15| = _____
15
b. |-12| = _____
12
13
c. |-9| + 4 = _____
d. |13 - 5| = _____
