2. A revision is a change made to improve a piece of writing or a plan: a revision of my story. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/R/revision/#m2)

### In the lessons

a set of review problems from earlier lessons («First, a little revision of what we learned before: Adding within 20»); in revision the problems are mixed, so each one must be read on its own; in writing lessons, revising a draft to make it better

### Examples
