1. Integers on a Number Line Grade 6 Standard 1.C.1.a

2. Fun Facts Negative numbers are to the left of 0. Positive numbers are to the right of 0. Remember, to help you when ordering integers from least to greatest use a number line.

3. Ordering Signed Numbers Place these signed numbers in order from least to greatest: -2, 3, -4 Draw a simple number line Graph the points on the number line. When you look at the numbers on the number line from left to right, they will be in order.

4. Ordering Signed Numbers So, the order of the numbers from least to greatest is -4, -2, 3 Remember negative numbers are to the left of zero, and positive numbers are to the right of zero. As you move to the left on a number line the value of the numbers decrease. As you move to the right on a number line the value of the numbers increase.

5. Example Place these numbers in order from least to greatest: 5, -4, and 0. Remember to draw your number line. Negative to the left of zero Positive to the right of zero Graph your points and read them from left to right. The correct order, -4, 0, 5

6. Your Turn Place these integers in order from least to greatest: -1, -4, and 0 Place these integers in order from least to greatest: -5, 6, and 4

7. Answers -4, -1, 0 -5, 4, 6

8. Finding the Number in Between The number - 4 1/2 is between which two integers? Remember the rules and draw the number line. Is -4 1/2 between -3 and -4 or is it between -4 and -5? Where would it be located on the number line? -4 1/2 is between -4 and -5

9. Finding the Number Between Use the number line to answer the following questions. Identify a number between -2 and -3. Identify a number between 1 and 2. Identify a number between -3 and -4.

10. Remember When ordering integers use the number line. Depending on the direction you read the numbers you will have ordered the numbers from least to greatest (left to right) or greatest to least (right to left).
