Compare, order, and locate signed integers and rational numbers on a number line.
Order several signed numbers
Problem
Order these numbers from least to greatest: \(-3.5\), \(1\), \(-2\), \(0\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Least to greatest means reading a number line from left to right. Group the values first: negatives lie left of zero, zero separates the signs, and positives lie to the right. Within the negative group, the value with the larger distance from zero is farther left, so handle that reversal before writing the full sequence.
