Comparing negative numbers
How to compare negative numbers
When you are comparing with negative numbers, everything swaps around and becomes a little more complicated!
With negative numbers, the more negative the number is, the lower its value.
As you go right along the number line, the values are increasing.
As you go left along the number line, the values are decreasing.
This means that any positive number (or even zero) will always be greater than any negative number.
