The purpose of this study is to show the importance of task texts for students in grades 5 when solving mathematical problems. It was conducted in a class 5 (where the children are 11 years old). The pupils were assigned two different tests with mathematical problems; one where the problems were described in text and one where the problems were presented with numbers and mathematical signs. Previously done research, done on bilingual children, (Bernardo, 2002) shows that pupils tend to do better on mathematical tests when no text is presented. My research supports that theory even though the correlation is not that strong.

Att leva i flock har flera fördelar, men trots detta är lejon det enda flocklevande kattdjuret. Flocken består av en grupp besläktade honor och deras ungar som domineras av en grupp hanar. Individerna är ofta utspridda i reviret i mindre grupper. I den här studien har jag undersökt om det finns någon optimal gruppstorlek och hur den i sådana fall ser ut, både ur reproduktions- och jaktsynpunkt. I litteraturen jag har läst är det flera olika faktorer som anses vara viktiga och som påverkar antalet gruppmedlemmar, vilka beskrivs och diskuteras här i arbetet. Emigrering är en viktig del för att förhindra inavel och både honor och hanar undviker parningar med nära släktingar. Till skillnad från honorna lämnar alla hanar alltid sin födelseflock då de har fler fördelar av det eftersom deras reproduktionsframgång begränsas av antalet honor de parar sig med.
