Nowadays children don't even know what "masset" is.

Then, if you had one, you feel and look important.
When it now cost 5k, how will they know?
How many parents can afford to buy it for their children.

huh

If you are a science student and you attend practical class such. As chemistry, or biology, you don't need anybody to tell you those are scientific laboratory symbols

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
if you are a science student, you will know 90% of what most of those signs meant.

If you used this mathematical tool In secondary and you're still single,u need match making ASA
You people and this your match making thing self. My kids in primary and secondary Schools are still using this thing. It's not as if it has gone into extinction.

Abi my kids too need match making?

By the way If you're in science class, you don't need to be told before knowing almost all those things there
Re: Nobody Told Told Us The Meaning Of These Signs Growing Up. by ahamonyeka(m): 10:26pm On Aug 10, 2025
I know the meaning as a science student in my secondary school days I know .

Honestly, why were we given stencils of these equipment? Will they ever come in handy? Pointless waste of plastic.
Smh. If you weren’t a science student, you’re forgiven

They’re used for quickly drawing pictorial representations for lab experiments in report books

What stopped you from finding the meaning of the symbols yourself?

Most of these symbols are laboratory equipment and glassware e.g. Pipettes, burette, retort stand, beakers, conical flask, round bottom flask, volumetric flask, test tube, graduated cylinder, filter funnel, etc.
Bless your soul.
Re: Nobody Told Told Us The Meaning Of These Signs Growing Up. by CaptainFM1: 10:55pm On Aug 10, 2025
They should have included calabash shape, mortar and pestle and grinding stone shapes there. You won't need to be told what those are for.

You are right but OP is more correct, we were not told, the signs where just there and we kept the plastic like one important treasure even when we hardly knew what those signs were.

Na wa! Did you think they put "masset" in quotes for nothing? They know the correct spelling of maths set but spelt it as "masset" because that's how most Nigerian students pronounced it.

Anyone should be able to decipher that

Did you not study science subjects? From practicals in the laboratories you should have understood them then
