### In the lessons

In school, children find information in books, on websites and in tables, and learn to check whether it is true and where it came from. In maths, a problem gives information (the numbers and facts) you need to find the answer; extra information may be there to trick you. In safety, personal information (full name, address, school, passwords) should not be shared with strangers online. Phrases: a piece of information, personal information, information about, for your information, information technology.
