Negative Numbers - Tutorial 3
This tutorial looks at sizes of numbers.
| Which is larger? |
You need to know the order of numbers. You need to know whether -3 is bigger than -4 or not.
Lets look at the number line again.
You can see that positive
numbers get larger as the number increases.
Negative numbers actually get smaller as the number increases. So -4 is smaller
than -3.
The table gives some more examples.
| Smaller | Larger |
| -5 -4 | |
| -3 -1 | |
| -1 1 | |
| -1.5 -1 | |
| -3.5 -2.5 | |
