### In the lessons

maths: going across a road, bridge or river, sometimes many times; also crossing out items (cross out the even numbers); the multiplication sign × looks like a cross; a cross-section; everyday life and safety: cross the road at a crossing, look both ways; stories: Mum was cross; phrases: «cross out», «cross your fingers»
