Remember:
- Positive numbers are greater than 0 and negative numbers are less than 0.
- Opposites are the same distance from 0, and the opposite of 0 is 0.
- On a number line, the number farther to the right is always greater.
- Absolute value is the distance from 0, so it is never negative.
- A negative number with a greater absolute value is the lesser number.
