Math Gnomes

"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe." Galileo

Math Gnomes (characters for introducing basic math concepts)

Addition (green) -Phlegmatic Prince Plus
Plus keeps what he finds. He has quite a heap.
He adds the new to the old and yells "They're mine to keep!"

Subtraction (blue) -Melancholic Princess Minus
Minus has a loving heart, but his pockets are always bare.
What he doesn't lose, he is always willing to share.

Multiplication (yellow) -Sanguine Prince Times
Times is quick and able. He gathers with great speed,
Handfuls at a time he gets...his bounty multiplies indeed!

Division (red) -Choleric Princess Divide
Our friend Divide takes greatest care
to ensure everyone has an equal share.

Equals (purple)
Good King Equals is always fair.
He sees the same everywhere!
