"How to explain absolute values to even A 3 YEAR OLD"
3 year old: whats a negative

[wkndaIF]

if i were a 3 year old i wouldve shat my pants and started crying 2 seconds in

[Tugg_on_a_segway]

As a 3-year-old this video helped me get a better grasp of mathematics and it's fundamentals for a little bit

[dorgurlx_alt]

WAIT OMG THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

[cyani]

As a 3 year old, I consider this absolutely helpful

[mm-qjyy]

thank you so much for your effort in making math more intuitive! bless your soul ❤

[powkaboomslash]

just say “it doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative, the absolute value is always positive unless there’s a negative sign OUTSIDE the two lines”

Explained this to my 3 year old brother, found him tying himself to a rope

Absolute value - the distance the number is from zero. 5 steps to the left from zero and 5 steps to the right are still 5 steps away. Left/right or positive/negative dont matter. Also, maybe we let the 3 year old learn what negative number are. Why do so many of her videos make things MORE complicated? The ones that don't are just regurgitation of other creators' work

[DivyanshGupta-rrku]

Just take the square of the number and the the square root.

[cdenure]

Not always positive as zero isn’t positive. But, yeah, that’s a cute demonstration!

[Irferno]

Wondered what absolute values was. But it just turned out to be modulus

Thanks, finally I could teach my son that |4-3i|=5, and thanks to you, he finally understood

[evieheigis]

I think it’s better to explain it by saying it’s the numbers distance from zero. Using metaphors like this can be confusing at times, but nevertheless, cool explanation

[luckytrinh]

As a 1 year old asian I already knew this

[gerrardkeane]

Is it just me or it's easier if you take off the signs (-, +)

[iNotcid]

That 3 yr old better be in harvard if it understands this

Can you teach us algebraic topology please 🙏 I will fail 2nd semester because I don’t understand functors and how they relate via homology

[chickendrawsdogs]

I sure could use some absolute values in my life right now...always coming out positive and stuff.

The + sign is extrinsic and is default on the mumerical value, So goes the convention. A negative push is a pull and a nagative pull is a push. Both semanticians and mathematicians would agree that 1 is a common component to -1 and +1. My opinion is that negative numbers came along with algebra. There are no negative apples or negative meters, nor even negative currencies, but you can have debts or assets . Zero in the middle. Also I have semantic problems equating /value/ with /operator/, so maybe the way it works with negative numbers as operators woluld require their own mathematical explanation.
