My nephew tried to say this by asking what 1+1 was and insisting that it was 11 because 1 and 1 is 11. I had a whole explanation that + doesn’t mean to put two numbers side by side, it means to add values.

@Straylight Reminds me of when my daughter had 6 pennies and I had a quarter. She said she had more "monies" than me. 🤣

@Straylight when they get older they will learn that 1 and 1 = 11 and 11=3….lol

@Jlhzfromep When my niece was like four or five, I tried explaining negative numbers and it made her cry.
