Negative numbers are always written with a ' ({-})' sign in front of them and they are counted down from zero to the left on a number line.

    Let's talk about signs. "+" is the positive sign, "−" is the negative sign. When a number has no sign it usually means that it is positive. And we can put () around the numbers to avoid confusion.

    Well, first there is the "common sense" explanation: So, two negatives make a positive, and if that satisfies you, then you don't need to read any more.

    It is all about direction. Remember the Number Line? Well here we have Baby Steven taking his first steps. He takes 2 paces at a time, and does this three times, so he moves 2 steps x 3 = 6 steps forward: Now, Baby Steven can also step backwards (he is a clever little guy). His Dad puts him back at the start and then Steven steps backwards 2 steps,...

    Here is another wayof looking at it. First have a play with this (explanations below): Start with the multiplication table(just up to 4×4 will do): Now see what happens when we head into negatives! Let's go backwardsthrough zero: Look at the "4" column: it goes -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, 4, 8, 12, 16. Getting 4 larger each time. Look over that table agai...

  5. Negative Numbers (−) Positive Numbers (+) "−" is the negative sign. "+" is the positive sign. No Sign Means Positive. If a number has no sign it usually means that it is a positive number. Example: 5 is really +5. Play with it! On the Number Line positive goes to the right and negative to the left. Try the sliders below and see what happens:

  6. Mar 5, 2020 · If one number is positive and the other is negative, the result is negative. When multiplying or dividing several numbers, add up the number of negative signs. If there is an even number, the answer is even.
