Symbols used in pairs to group things together.
Types of brackets include:
• parentheses or "round brackets" ( )
• "square brackets" or "box brackets" [ ]
• braces or "curly brackets" { }
• "angle brackets" < >
Example: (3 + 2) x (6 − 4) = 5 x 2 = 10
The parentheses group 3 and 2 together, and 6 and 4 together
Note: Angle brackets can be confusing because they look like the "less than" and "greater than" signs.
