Yes, there are lots of symbols in maths, or math as we say in the U.S.
There are the basic ones, such as =, +, -, x, /
Respectively, these are "equal", "plus", "minus", "times/multiply", "divide".
There are also statements of ordering, such as < and >, which mean "less than" and "greater than", respectively.
There are far too many symbols to list here so perhaps you should narrow the scope of your question. At what level would you like to learn symbols? There are lots of Greek letters used in math too, to represent taking a large sum or product, to being used as names for functions. There are also symbols to indicate implications, conclusions, generalizations, other operations (such as integration and differentiation), and the list goes on!

What are symbols for in math?
A number by itself is meaningless. Symbols and labels add meaning in math. Symbols in math are used to represent different operations, and/or add descriptions. There are many different symbols each which have their own purpose. Some symbols have different purposes in different types of math.

How do you do math expressions?
Well in math an expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context. Symbols can designate numbers (constance), variables, operations, functions, and other mathematical symbols, as well as punctuation, symbols of grouping, and other syntactic symbols. The use of expressions can range from the simple: 3 + 5 it is as easy as 1 2 3 but as you get older your math expressions will get harder.
