### In the lessons

Everyday and safety: a secure password, a secure lock, secure the load on a trailer, feel secure at home. Science and tech: secure websites. In maths stories it is mostly a word of the story; sometimes things used to secure (nails, ropes, screws) give a rate: «4 nails to secure each board».
