In 6th grade, students learn about the signed numbers but interpreting and comparing them in a table can challenging. “Interpret and compare signed numbers in a table practice problems” help students to develop a deep understanding of comparing signed numbers in a table. These practice problems include word problems that present real-life situations. 

 

For example, in a table, the temperature of two cities is given, and then asked the student to compare the difference in temperature between them. After solving these practice problems, students will be able to compare signed numbers and apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios.
