it's the number in the middle...

Numbers to the right of zero on a number line are positive numbers; to the left are the negative numbers.
You start from the left and end at the right
Because it is easier to read left from right instead of right to left
If the number line has negative numbers to the left of zero and positive numbers to the right then the further you go to the right, the greater the numbers become.
Since the numbers on a number line increase from left to right, it follows that any number to the left of another number is smaller than that other number. Of course, most of the time it is quite obvious which of two numbers is larger, and we don't need to plot them on a number line to find that out.
Align the numbers according their place values. Go from left to right (decreasing place values) until the face values of the numbers are different. Then the number with the larger face value in that place is the larger number.
because in america we read left to right
Instead of reading the numbers from left to right (1234) read them from right to left (4321).
In the context of numbers on a number line, positive five is indeed greater than negative five. This is because numbers increase in value as you move to the right on a number line and decrease as you move to the left. Positive five is to the right of zero, while negative five is to the left of zero, making positive five greater than negative five.
Yes. In general, a negative number with a SMALLER absolute value (the value of the number once you remove the sign) is LARGER. If this looks confusing, look at the numbers on a number line. Zero is somewhere on the number line, positive numbers are to the right of zero (1, 2, 3, 4, ...), negative numbers are to the left of zero (-1, -2, -3, -4, ...). If one number is greater than another, then it is further to the right on the number line.
