Before mathematicians formalized negative numbers, this kid was out here creating a mirror-based number system! The genius solution: flip the digits upside down and declare them "less than 0." That face at the bottom is every mathematician who spent centuries developing formal negative number theory only to be outshined by a 4th grader with a notebook. Pure childhood mathematical intuition at its finest—discovering that numbers could exist on the other side of zero by literally turning them upside down. The symmetry is actually weirdly elegant... if only calculus homework could be solved with a mirror!
