ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

mathematics

Math is like a big game of building blocks. It's all about counting, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing different numbers. To get the answer you want, you have to use the math blocks and think carefully about which ones to use and in what order. It can be lots of fun once you get the hang of it, and it can help you understand the world around you better.
