### In the lessons

Maths: things counted — sheets of paper or stickers, often in packs (a pack of 100 sheets): «a sheet of n» is a group size. School: worksheet, answer sheet. Everyday: change the bed sheets. Science: sheets of ice, a sheet of rain.

### Note

Countable: a sheet, sheets; «a sheet of paper» (paper itself is uncountable). «A sheet of n» is a group size; sheets per pupil is a rate. Trap: «a sheet of stickers» is not one sticker. Be careful saying it: sheet has a long «ee».
