What is fixed?

Fixed means something doesn’t move or change, it stays the same.

Imagine you have a toy box that’s always in one place on your floor. No matter how many times you play with your toys, you put them back in the box, and the box never moves. That's fixed, like a sleepy friend who doesn’t wake up or move around.

What does "fixed" look like?

  • A chair is fixed in the living room, it stays there unless someone pushes it.
  • Your favorite snack is fixed on the table, you can eat it, but it's still there after you're done.

When something isn’t fixed

If your toy box rolls away when you push it, then it’s not fixed. It moves, just like a puppy that runs around the room instead of staying in one spot.

So, fixed is like having your favorite blanket always on your bed, it's where it belongs and doesn’t go anywhere else.Fixed means something doesn’t move or change, it stays the same.
