Well, honey, negative 4 is actually smaller than negative 7. Think of it as owing someone $7 being worse than owing them $4. So, in the world of numbers, negative 7 takes the cake for being the bigger negative. Hope that clears things up for ya!

Well, let's think about this like a happy little tree. Negative numbers work a bit differently than positive numbers. In this case, negative 4 is actually smaller than negative 7 because when you move to the left on a number line, you're getting smaller. Just remember, every number is special in its own way and they all have a place in our mathematical world.

Yes - imagine moving from left to right on a number line, the numbers on the right being larger than the numbers on the left.
