Possible Misconceptions & Common Errors to Avoid
- Students may use the magnitude of the number to compare and not consider the sign.
**For example, students may write -21 > -5 because 21 > 5
- Students may incorrectly locate integers on a number line, placing negative numbers to the right of zero instead of to the left of zero.
