Comparing Integers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to teach students how to compare integers using inequality symbols. It features pairs of integers, and students must decide which of the two numbers is greater and insert the correct symbol (> or <) between them. The integers provided include both positive and negative values, adding a level of difficulty to the comparison. Students must understand the value of each integer in relation to zero to complete the worksheet successfully.

The worksheet aims to enhance students’ understanding of the numerical order of integers on the number line. By comparing integers and deciding which is larger or smaller, students practice the concept of numerical value and magnitude. This exercise is crucial for developing the ability to reason about numbers and their relative sizes. It also lays the groundwork for more advanced mathematical concepts, such as absolute value and integer operations.
