In this lesson
In this video you'll learn about ordering numbers for GCSE Maths, with worked examples and the mistakes examiners report. By the end you'll be able to order a mixed list of positive integers, negative integers, decimals and fractions, and compare any two of them correctly using =, ＜, ＞, ≤, ≥.
By the end: Order a mixed list of positive integers, negative integers, decimals and fractions, and compare any two of them correctly using =, <, >, <=, >=.

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches ordering positive and negative numbers using inequality symbols. By the end, students should be able to order a mixed list of positive integers, negative integers, decimals and fractions, and compare any two of them correctly using =, ＜, ＞, ≤, ≥. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
