What is left?

"What is left?" means finding out what remains after something has been taken away or used up.

Imagine you have a big bowl of candy, let's say 10 pieces, and you eat 3 of them. Now, if someone asks, "What is left?" they want to know how many candies are still in the bowl. So you count the ones that stayed behind: 7.

You can think of it like this:

• You start with something whole, like a group of toys or pieces of cake.
• Then some go away, maybe you give them to a friend or you eat them.
• What is left is what's still there after those things are taken away.

It’s like when you finish your snack and wonder how many cookies are left in the jar. You look inside, count them, and that number is what is left.

Sometimes, "what is left" can be a little trickier, maybe not just numbers, but parts of something bigger, like pieces of a puzzle or slices of a pizza. But it's always about figuring out what’s still there after some has been used up or taken away.
