### In the lessons

In everyday life, unplanned stops, trips or costs happen; in safety lessons, planning for the unplanned (a first aid kit, a phone) is wise. In maths word problems, an unplanned cost changes the total: a family must pay for something they did not budget for. Phrases: «an unplanned stop», «unplanned costs», «completely unplanned».
