Understanding Negative Values in Context

The video tutorial explores the concept of negative numbers in real-world contexts. It begins with temperature as a common example, where temperatures can be both positive and negative. The tutorial then discusses elevation, using Mount Everest and sea level to illustrate positive and negative distances. It also covers building floors and elevators, explaining how floors below ground are negative. Finally, the video uses golf scoring to demonstrate how being under par is represented by negative numbers, emphasizing that lower scores are better in golf.
