Boolean algebra is a type of mathematics which uses only two numbers: 1 (which is called "true") and 0 (which is called "false"). It is used to calculate how two things are related. For example, if you have two numbers, 4 and 5, you can use boolean algebra to figure out if one number is bigger than the other or if they are equal. Boolean algebra is like regular algebra, but instead of numbers and symbols like +, -, and =, we use only 1s and 0s.
