🔢 Simple Math Concepts: Let's Count and Play!
Hello, little mathematicians! 💡 Math is everywhere, and it helps us count our toys, cookies, and friends! Today, we will learn how to add, subtract, and compare numbers using fun pictures.
🖼️ Part 1: Learning Addition (+) and Subtraction (-)
We use pictures to make math easy! Click the speaker 🔊 button to hear the names of these important actions.
| Concept | Symbol | Meaning | Example (Visual) | 🔊 Pronunciation |
| Addition | + (Plus) | To put things together or add more. The result is a bigger number. | 2 Apples + 1 Apple = 3 Apples | (Click to listen to "Addition") |
| Subtraction | - (Minus) | To take away things. The result is a smaller number. | 3 Cookies - 1 Cookie = 2 Cookies | (Click to listen to "Subtraction") |
| Equals | = | Means the numbers or items on both sides are the same amount. | 2 + 1 = 3 | (Click to listen to "Equals") |

📏 Part 2: Comparing Numbers
We use special signs to show which group has more or less!
| Concept | Symbol | Meaning | Example (Visual) |
| Greater Than | > | The larger number is on the left. Think of the sign as a hungry crocodile eating the bigger number! | 5 > 3 |
| Less Than | < | The smaller number is on the left. The crocodile mouth still points to the bigger number! | 2 < 4 |
| Equal To | = | The numbers on both sides are the same. | 3 = 3 |
