Table of mathematical symbols
A table of mathematical symbols is like a menu at a restaurant. Just like a menu has pictures and names of different dishes, a table of mathematical symbols has pictures and names of different symbols we use in math.
For example, if you want to add two numbers together, you use the plus sign (+) which is a symbol on the table. If you want to subtract one number from another, you use the minus sign (-).
Other symbols on the table include multiplication sign (×), division sign (÷), equals sign (=), greater than sign (>), less than sign (<), and many others.
These symbols help us write mathematical equations and formulas, just like how the menu helps us order the food we want to eat. Once we know how to use these symbols, we can solve math problems and make sense of the world around us in new ways.
