How can you represent negative numbers in real life?

457 views

I think the the question is pretty self explanatory.

With positive numbers you can let’s say put 3 balls in a box and there you have it, a representation of the positive number 3.

Same goes with 0, a box with 0 balls represent the amount 0.

But how do you do that with a negative number?

easiest is probably height, for visualization I like to use “heigh above water”.

when I stand on the shore my head is ~ 2m above the water.

when I dive, it’s now “-1m above” the water, or “1m below” the water
