concept

A concept is like a big idea in your mind. Imagine you have a big box where you keep all your favorite toys. Each toy is different, but they all belong in the box because they are your favorites. A concept is like that box, and the toys are the smaller ideas that fit inside it. For example, the concept of ‘animals’ includes many different creatures like dogs, cats, and elephants. They are all different, but they fit inside the big idea of ‘animals’.

Think of a concept as a recipe. If you want to bake a cake, you need to know what a cake is. The recipe tells you what ingredients you need and how to mix them together. The concept of a cake helps you understand that a cake is sweet, baked, and often round. Even if you change some ingredients, like using chocolate or vanilla, it’s still a cake because it fits the concept.

A concept is also like a map. When you look at a map, you see roads, rivers, and cities. The map helps you understand where everything is. Similarly, a concept helps you understand and organize different ideas in your mind, like how a map organizes places.
