### In the lessons

repeating the same addition, which is the idea of multiplying («4 + 4 + 4 … again and again»); in class «try again», «say it again», «read it again»; in everyday life «see you again», «never again», «here we go again»; in stories something happening again builds a pattern

### Examples
