In the primary lessons: equal piles: things in each stack × stacks; in everyday life: stack the chairs at the end of the day, a stack of pancakes, stack the dishwasher; in maths: stacking cubes to build towers and count them; phrases: «a stack of», «stack up» (pile up, or compare) ### examples - A stack of minds inside minds.
