### In the lessons

equal groups («the same number in each» = multiply or divide); the same number used again («adding the same number again and again» = multiplying); «A has the same as B» means A's count equals B's; in maths shapes that are the same size and shape (congruent); in everyday life «same here», «all the same», «at the same time»; in casual talk «same!», «same old», «same difference»; in rough talk «same to you»; in the exam voice «identical», «equivalent», «an identical quantity»

### Note

«the same number in each» points to equal groups: multiply or divide. «A has the same as B» or «an identical quantity» means A's count equals B's: if B has 9, A has 9 too, and together they have 18. Usually «the same»: «the same colour», not «same colour». Say «the same as», not «the same like». «Same!» alone means «me too», not a count. Opposite: different.

## In Jewish tradition

equal groups («the same number in each» = multiply or divide); the same number used again («adding the same number again and again» = multiplying); «A has the same as B» means A's count equals B's; in maths shapes that are the same size and shape (congruent); in everyday life «same here», «all the same», «at the same time»; in casual talk «same!», «same old», «same difference»; in rough talk «same to you»; in the exam voice «identical», «equivalent», «an identical quantity»
