reading thru your post i noticed one difference from british to american english - -
you said "maths" we would say math
i also wanted to ask if you guys say "open your book AT page 17" vs "TO page17"
also another one, do you say "I play IN a team" as opposed to "ON a team"?

i was working in a school here in germany and they all learn british english, and i
was correcting them at first, but then i thought, maybe its just british english . . . then
i felt bad. . . help!
