    Vocabulary: arithmetic and counting

    of these notions are useful in our daily lives, and we can't do without basic knowledge of them.

    The optimists and the people who love maths say that it's a 'universal language'! Therefore if you

    attend a math lesson in a foreign country, you're most likely to understand and be able to participate!
