Definition of Sign
A sign can be a symbol used in place of words. These signs are usually given names.
For example, the "kangaroos crossing" sign in the picture shows that kangaroos are likely to cross the road.
For example, the equals sign is "=".
When we refer to a sign in mathematics, without giving it a name, we usually mean either "plus" or "minus" (positive or negative.)
For example, −5 has a negative sign.
