Integers on the Number Line

50 min Grade 6 Math Lab: The Physics of Algebra

Learning Objectives

  • Understand positive and negative integers
  • Compare and order integers
  • Apply to real-world contexts

Key Concepts

Integer

Whole numbers and their opposites (…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …)

Absolute Value

Distance from zero on the number line

Theory

**Integers** include all positive and negative whole numbers, plus zero. **Ordering:** Numbers increase from left to right on the number line. - -5 < -2 < 0 < 3 < 7 **Absolute Value:** |n| is always non-negative. - |-4| = 4, |7| = 7, |0| = 0

Examples

Order: 3, -7, 0, -2, 5

Solution: -7, -2, 0, 3, 5
