Comparing and Ordering Integers Absolute Value

The document discusses comparing and ordering integers. It defines integers as whole numbers, their opposites, and zero. Only numbers without fractions or decimals are integers. When comparing integers, positive integers are greater than negative integers. On a number line, the number farther to the left is always greater than the number to the right. Absolute value represents the distance an integer is from zero, regardless of its positive or negative value.
