In the primary lessons: In school maths: area to paint or tile (length × height); length or height of a wall; things hung on each wall; a room with 4 walls. In everyday life: pictures and posters on the wall, a garden wall, a climbing wall. In history: city walls, the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall. Phrases: «on the wall», «wall chart», «off the wall» (strange).
