### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Jeremiah and Ezekiel use painted eyes as signs of a faithless people who try to charm others instead of trusting God. Interpretation: Tradition reads it as a picture of Israel seeking foreign allies, who would not save her. In the primary lessons: In maths: paint measured in cans or litres; walls, fences or pictures painted per hour; area covered per can. In art class: paints, brushes, mixing colours. In science: mixing red and yellow paint makes orange; paint dries as the water evaporates. In everyday life: «wet paint» signs.

### note

Paint per area or pictures per day give rates. Trap: the number of cans may need rounding up. Paint (the liquid) is usually uncountable: «some paint», but «paints» for a set. Safety: open a window when using strong paint; do not eat paint.
