A couple of everyday things are temperatures... ours, here in the U.S. are Farenheit, but it doesn't really matter... anything below 0 degrees F are measured in negative numbers... i.e., -5 degrees F is 5 degrees below 0 (zero). Additionally, how about negative altitudes, such as the Dead Sea being about 1,000 feet below sea level, making it a negative number. Others could be to do with money. I'm short $5 (or pounds, as the case may be) overdrawn at the Bank... certainly a negative number... Good luck!

Main teaching points
Pupils need to know where they will are likely to need to use negative numbers in real life. The most common
examples include temperature, sea level and below, and credit and debt. They will also have met negative scales on
graphs but will only have used them to plot coordinates.
