All about signs

Do you know that signs are one of the mode of communication. Mathematics concerns with signs to a great extent. W e use signs in geometry, trigonometry, algebra and so on. Signs are covered in the 5th grade math. Let's get familiar with the basic signs.

The basic signs in math are:

The greater than sign: ">"

The smaller than sign: "<" The equal sign: "=" So basically these are the basic signs of math. Now what these signs suggests. The greater than sign signifies the greater value. E.g. 7 > 6, this suggests 7 is greater than 6.

The smaller than sign signifies a smaller value. E.g. 6 < href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equals_sign">equal sign signifies equality. R.g. 5 = (2+3), this suggests that both the value in the left hand side and right hand side are equal.

Now i guess you are well familiar with math signs and you can do your homework now on signs. Some other day i will try and provide you learning on some other concept. For now, enjoy signs.
