@ = at
# = number

@ is someones username
such as if you searched for katy perry on twitter, you would search for her as @katyperry
and # is for something called a trending topic, someone will post something such as #newyear , and lots of people may tweet about this, and if this topic is tweeted enough by enough people then it is called a 'trending topic'
Hope this helps
