slant
When you think about a slant, picture a slide at the playground. Instead of going straight up and down like a ladder, the slide is tilted. This tilt is what we call a slant. It means one end is higher than the other, making it easier to slide down.
Imagine holding a book and tilting it slightly to one side. The book isn’t flat anymore; it has a slant. This makes it easier for any small toy cars to roll down. The slant helps things move from a higher place to a lower place.
Think about a rainbow. It arches across the sky, and its curve could be seen as a slant because it doesn’t go straight across. Instead, it bends and tilts, creating a beautiful arc.
When you draw a hill, you might start at the top and make a line that goes down at an angle. That line is a slant. It’s not straight up or straight across; it’s somewhere in between, making it special and interesting.
