In mathematics, a sheaf is a tool for systematically tracking locally defined data attached to the open sets of a topological space. My knowledge of general topos theory is pretty hazy mainly the few vague things i picked up from caramellos course last year, and the things that are useful for understanding the etale site, so its handy to get an idea of how much the elementary sheaf theory generalises to arbitrary grothendieck toposes.
