Adulting often requires understanding vocabulary, and how certain words have slightly different meanings when applied in a different context, to understand how health care works, and why the Public Health Services are so important. Here is one of my favorite words that makes a key difference in math, science, health care, and even in English grammar, as the lesson will show!
Week 11/18
Day 42, Week 11 |
Grammar: Context and confusing words |
Area and the Pythagorean Theorem |
Day 42 Exit Ticket |
Discreet quantities |
Being discreet, as in exercising discretion… |
Action Items:
1.) Why might it be important to understand the different nuances of meanings of a word, aka different connotations, under various circumstances, like the word theory, or discrete?
2.) Please explain how it may (or may not) help citizens of a Republic, especially during a global pandemic…
3.) Write a book, story, blog post or tweet that uses those thoughts, and then, please tell us about it! If you write a book, once it is published please consider donating a copy to your local public library.
4.) Feel free to answer the exit ticket questions in the comments, or pose any other questions you may have about the lesson, if you wish.

Another word where context makes a difference is significant. A study can yield statistically significant results that aren’t the least bit significant in terms of scale or importance.
