Question

How are natural numbers, whole numbers and integers used in everyday life?

Answer 1

Natural numbers: Counting things! You look around your room and see an electronic device, then another, then another! You just counted to 3 using the natural numbers.

Whole numbers! You try to look for electronic devices and realise that they’re all gone. You have zero electronic devices, and you just used whole numbers.

You go online to find where your electronic devices went, and realise they were taken because you’re in debt to the bank so they took some of your stuff. You’re in negative numbers, and now you’ve used integers.
