My vocab practice

1.- In math classes we teach the geometric figures and say that according to the number of sides, their names are: the triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, circle, heptagon, among others,

2.- A woman has achieved her dream and after a long period of time has managed to give birth to sextuplets.

3.- In Venezuela, sexagenarians pay half the plane ticket.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. I just bought new hexagon shape tiles to update my bathroom decor.
  2. Having sextuplets means having seven times more headache when they will be teenagers.
  3. There are a few benefits when we become sexagenarians, like discounts and free activities, too bad it comes with age.

It is impressive the ideas you can find here on the platform. I'm a math teacher and I'd like to use a little of your strategy to teach my subject.

Good luck. My advice for all teaching ... Keep it simple, and keep it interesting.

This is awesome! New vocabulary in mind. ^^
