### In the lessons

In maths: a word of the story only, an animal or a team name; numbers about points or games matter. In science: wild pigs can harm crops and be dangerous. In everyday life (USA): college sports fans cheer for the Razorbacks.

### Examples

- The Razorbacks scored 21 points in the first half.
