NS.7a - Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
WARM-UP
1) Graph the following integers on a number line. 12, -6, - 2, 0, 4, -10
2) Graph the following integers on a number line. 5,- 3, 0 and -5.
- Write 2 inequalities about the number -2. (For example: - 6<0 and -6 >-10)
- Write 2 inequalities about the number 4.
2) Graph the following integers on a number line. 5,- 3, 0 and -5.

TEAM CHALLENGE
1) Michael Vick and Lindsay Lohan are competing in the long jump. Michael Vick's longest jump is 5 feet, and Lindsay Lohan's longest jump is 7 feet. Plot these jumps on a number line. Write an inequality comparing the jumps, and explain what this means for Michael Vick and Lindsay Lohan.
