This would not be a question in grade 1 but I'm thinking ahead to grades 2 - 6. They will have enough to think about as they learn English words.
The use of the word table from names_z_ has the same meaning it would in a math class so I would use it as an "app". I Would consider todayno as a J app. It has no meaning in English to confuse it with. I could get my result with simple J and it would probably not be appropriate until grade 6. It does not use other than basic J nouns, verbs and adverbs. I don't think there are any conjunctions but I could be wrong. However, I have the feeling that some of the mathematicians or programmers in the community will be able to do it far more elegantly than I have. I am making up rules as I go, and if necessary they may need to be changed.
