Integers

Integers are positive and negative numbers. If you have these five integers, -32, -52, +6, -12, +3 and you need to order them from least to greatest, you would start with the negative numbers.  -52 is farthest from zero, so it is the smallest.  -32 is the second smallest and -12 is the third smallest.  Then you need to order the positive numbers, and +3 is smaller than +6 so you order them -52, -32, -12, +3, +6.
