What to Focus On

  • Counting numbers are only one part of mathematics.
  • Zero represents nothing and is an important number.
  • Digits 0 to 9 can write any number in the Indian number system.
  • Floor 0 is the ground floor and reference point.
  • Floors above 0 are positive numbers.
  • Floors below 0 are negative numbers.
  • Positive numbers have a + sign and are greater than 0.
  • Negative numbers have a - sign and are less than 0.
  • Zero is neither positive nor negative.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Zero is a positive number because it is not negative.

The sign of a number tells its size, so -4 is greater than -3 because 4 is smaller than 3 when the sign is ignored.

A negative number means 'bad' or 'less important', so it should always be treated as zero or ignored.
