The Real Life Applications of Negative Numbers
Many students question why learning about negative numbers is important, citing the reasoning that negative numbers of objects simply cannot exist.
Their argument is that it is not possible to have a -1 apple, which would be correct, however, this does not mean that there are no possible uses for negative numbers in real life. Here are a few examples of when negative numbers will be useful.
Negative Numbers in Everyday Life
The temperature unit Celsius places zero at the point where water freezes.
Anything below 0 degrees celsius (32ºF) is represented by a negative number, to differentiate between temperatures above freezing point and below freezing point. While watching news broadcasts, oftentimes temperatures are stated as negative numbers which means that it is going to be cold outside. Similarly, we also see negative temperatures on food packaging which tell us to store these food items at a freezing temperature in order to preserve them.
Importance of Learning Negative Numbers
Negative numbers are frequently used on bank statements.
When the bank account holder has spent less money than they have in their account, the final balance at the end of the statement will be displayed as a positive number. However, when someone spends more money than they have, this number will be displayed as a negative number. Understanding how negative numbers work is important in order to work out how much you owe the bank, so it is important to prepare students well for this situation by using negative numbers worksheets throughout their education.
