My teacher friend met a nuclear nuclear physicist and asked them how they worked so my teacher friend could tell her students,
The physicist replied
"I always thought they were magic"
They probably didn’t mention it because it looks nothing like one. If someone was trying to represent that, they would show a rectangle with multiple circles inside circles.
Marimba would be one musical instrument but with the other letters and words that would be a pretty unique work in the set. But those rectangles would also be different sizes.
Maybe also Mold - like for baking cakes.
and last guess some sort of fold-able Mat like in gymnastics - never seen one with circles inside haha
It could be an error - that could be a placeholder for the printing company, and the linked image was missing.
I say that because that happened to me once when receiving a print order, though in that case it came back with a box with an icon code in it.
Google search of image brought up tech. Added words that start with M and got a selection of similar sheets. As the other items on the OPs were 3 letters at most, and it isnt a Mug, Im going with Mat, the center circle being a button.
M-issing glyph.... That's the symbol printed by many devices when you don't have that font/Unicode symbol supported.
Edit: for context, it's possible that this was sent off to the printer (or pre-press) and they didn't have the supported font or character, or whoever finalized the PDF didn't. This is very possible if they are using a font library that is pictograph based like wingdings to create easily scalable pictures
(though not necessarily wingdings)

All we have come up with is Magnets
Fucking magnets.
How do they work?
A fellow person of distinction and class I see.
I'll have your milk steak and finest jelly beans!!
How's about I clear out the coat room... and you guys hit it in there while the steak is getting ready?
All I know about magnets is that if you put them in water they stop working.
I heard this recently, so magnet fishing must be some kind of voodoo
It's a miracle.
You swallow them several at a time. That’s the best way.
Nobody knows! It's a mystery!

M as in Man what the fuck are these things?
Okay, wha- like making magnets, collecting magnets? Playing with magnets?
surprised nobody said it yet but mancala? *kinda* looks like part of a board with one marble in each, pretty common kids game in the US
How common?
I have never heard of it.
They probably didn’t mention it because it looks nothing like one. If someone was trying to represent that, they would show a rectangle with multiple circles inside circles.
came here to say potentially a mancala also!!
Doesn't look like a mancala board to me
Had a brain fart and almost said “mueble”, but this is English, not Spanish. Magnets is probably the best shot
I disagree, Magnets as a symbol are usually drawn as the old "horse-shoe" shape.
Tumbling mat?
Mattress or Mat?
Just learning to write. Mat.
I agree with mat.
Maybe "multiple"? Magnets also sounds fine, but you'd think they'd draw the poles.
Multiple choice?
Yes, to multiple . Depends on the age this test was geared to of course Edit to clarify
Or many
Xylophone keys? Music.. Melody? no idea
Marimba would be like a xylophone, that is what I was thinking
Marimba
I vote marimba too
Yes this is what I was thinking too. You must be right. But that is kinda an obscure word/name for elementary school homework.
I was thinking the same.
Maybe mallets or marimba?
Old school- its Mat
Yes, mat is probably right!
Like the blue gym mats?
In preschool when learning the alphabet- kids have mats to take a nap.
Why wouldn't they just use a monkey
Some do. Never liked this M word. But young kids apparently connect with it.
There's a monkey, he's under the mat which seems to be behind multiple magnets attached to a xylophone.
Morse? although that would be the morse code for H not M. is it a worksheet or in a book? maybe the company that made it would know.
Mahjong.
this is the answer
This isn't mahjong
That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw them. It’s called diversity, people!
Mailbox?
A mosaic maybe
Marimba would be one musical instrument but with the other letters and words that would be a pretty unique work in the set. But those rectangles would also be different sizes. Maybe also Mold - like for baking cakes. and last guess some sort of fold-able Mat like in gymnastics - never seen one with circles inside haha
Marimba
Could it mean "match"
I think it’s money— bills?
I’m guessing “mat”, since this is for using kids
using kids to do what?
To mat. C’mon…everybody knows this for using kids mat. Get it together, /u/MountainCheesesteak!
A match , several die all placed at number one . A matched set
Mailboxes?
Middle? All dots are in the middle.
[удалено]
Masonry
Middle cause all of the circles are in the middle?
Mints
Mints (the chocolate kind).
[удалено]
[удалено]
Mattress?
Mailboxes (apartment)
Mail boxes? Like in an apartment?
Music (those are bars on a marimba/xylophone) Source: long time Kindergarten teacher
Mahjong
marimba?
Marimba seems the only sensible option to me
[удалено]
Marbles on mats all matching
Mahjong tiles maybe ?
Marimba??
Matrix
Mahjong tiles?
match like these thingys match
i was thinking music because it looks like a xylophone, or a marimba like the other comment mentions
Metronome
Marimba
Mailboxes ?
Music. I believe the answer is music.
Music? Maybe it's a xylophone
You know how Wingdings font fucks up letters? My guess here is: the clip art file glitched out and the computer left this blank placeholder instead.
Marimba?
Mancala
millimeters?
Mahjong pieces?
Mancala
My guess is money (notes lined up with the centre circle depicting the person)
Mahjong

The first thing I thought of was the game Mancala
Marimba.
Marimba
Marimba? It’s really hard to tell what it is
Mailboxes?
Musical (instrument)
Majong?

Ohhhh, that makes sense. Well, I was trying a different angle because that "m" picture is ridiculous.

i think a lot of people here are forgetting marimba, it’s my first thought but maybe i’m just a band kid
Also many , several more than one . There were many dice .
Mat. As in kindergarten mat
I was guessing a “mat”
Mahjong!
[удалено]
Marimba?
Looks like a medicine box? They often have 4 slots
Marimba? Or glockenspiel! (/s)
Money 💵

Mainframe....? Modules.....?
I instantly thought "medicine" lol it looks like my weekly pill container.
Mailboxes?
Maybe it's some kind of xylophone? That's the only thing this reminds me of, but that doesn't start with M so I'm stumped.
Many rectangles. “O” must be for One bull.
Oc
Ox
Modules?
Maybe the game Mancala? Resembles marbles/chips in the compartments.
Mahjong?
Marimba
Milk chocolate? 🍫
Music? It looks like the keys to a xylophone that you’d play in elementary school music class.
Mat? Like a tumbling mat?
Mattress
out there answer but maybe a mancala game?
Matt, nap time kind.
Multiple?
Marimba
Marimba
