Lmao not gonna lie, this would be a very intuitive way of teaching a kid negative values.

How is multiplying akin to rotating?

Fun fact: exponents and multiplication DO work like rotation ... in the complex domain (numbers with their imaginary component). It's not a pure rotation unless it's scalar, but it's neat.

I know I explained that the worst ever, but 3blue1brown on YT talks about it and many other advanced math concepts in a lovely intuitive way.
