text: i need help on a essay! topic: if u could be any math symbol, what would you be? if i were a mathematical symbol, i would be the addition symbol. addition is the arithmetic operation for finding the sum or total of two or more numbers.  i would want to be that addition symbol  because it is usually easy to solve, it remind me of elementary school , it is helpful in daily life ,and because i am a positive person.  addition is easy to solve. unlike subtraction, you don’t have to borrow numbers. all you do is add the two or more numbers together. another reason i choose the addition sign is because i am a positive person. it reminds of all the positive things in life.  there are some negatives in being positive. for instance, when the addition sign is multiplied by a negative number the positive symbol becomes negative.  it also reminds me of elementary school. in kindergarten we used little colorful plastic bears to learn to add.  ( this is all i have..ti need to be 5 paragraphs) why would one want to be an addition symbol? since you did already a good job, let me try to help you out, if you like this.   my recommendation is thinking outside the box, if this is appreciated in your school. you may want to think of what the addition symbol stands for in other areas! think of architecture, children's play, mythology, religion etc. if you get going, you could write an entire book on this little symbol!  examples: the addition symbol as such is very balanced: the horizontal line is equal to the vertical line. in symbolism the horizontal line stands for the earth and the vertical line for heaven. the addition symbol unites heaven and earth. i like to be balanced and feel oneness.   this symbol also stands for the four directions in native american symbolism, it indicates the four directions of the wind, and the wind is fee. i like to be free. it also stands for the four corners of the world, which means, it expands worldwide, is not limited, and i like this.  when tilted 45 degrees, it becomes the solar cross, indicating the points of sunrise and sunset (solstices) in the year and stands for the sun. it is nice to be like the sun: warming and enlightening the earth and allowing life to grow.  you may want to find your own additional reasons why you want to be an addition symbol.  keep up the good works and have fun!  cordially, india.magica
