Positive numbers

Hello Grade IV students, in this help on math problems session we are going to discuss the positive numbers. Numbers help us to count something. And many types of numbers are used in our daily life, such as real, positive, negative, zero and many more. Without the help of numbers the mathematics is nothing. In mathematics we also use the positive numbers. Let’s define positive numbers; they are the numbers that are greater than the zero.
For example : - 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 65 they all are the positive numbers. Sometimes we include decimal number in the positive numbers but they should be greater than zero. Like 2.6, 56.67.
Positive numbers are also known as the natural numbers. In the whole numbers we do not include the 0. The positive numbers are denoted by the positive ' + ' symbol. This symbol is used when we have to show that we have positive numbers like +2, +45, +4, +87, +23 , if we do not apply this + symbol before the number, then it does not mean that the number is negative. The numbers are by default positive (more details here), if they are not containing any type of symbol.
Positive numbers are the just opposite of the negative numbers (play negative numbers worksheet here). To understand the positive numbers, let’s take an example : - -6 -7 -8 -9 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
In above number row the numbers that are right to the zero are called the positive numbers. And those numbers that are left to the zero are called the negative numbers.
We can perform any operation on the positive numbers like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
