My name is Mary. I live in a little house with my mother, my father and my little brother.

Today is Saturday. It is time to wash our clothes!

My brother Ray is ready to go! We pick up our clothes and walk out of our house. Everyone is washing their clothes! Their arms are covered in bubbles!

We see Grace Aunty. She washes her uniform. She wears it to her clinic every day.

Bimla Aunty hangs up her red blanket. We know that she loves this blanket! Her grandmother made it for her.

Think and Tell

Fatima Aunty dries her scarves in the sun. The colours are so bright!

neighbours: people who live near your house covered: to have all over uniform: special clothes that people wear at school or work

clinic: a place where doctors and nurses work

scarves: long pieces of cloth that people wear around their necks or heads

Look, there is Zakir Chacha! His uniform hangs outside his house. He wears it when he drives his auto.

Geetha Aunty’s sarees sway in the wind. They look like kites dancing in the sky.

Joseph Uncle’s socks hang neatly in a row. They keep his feet warm when he guards us at night.

Think and Tell

Why do you think Joseph Uncle needs warm socks?

Now, it is our turn! Ray and I put our clothes down. We clean our school uniforms first. We shake out the chalk dust. We rub away the paint drops. We sing and we laugh together!

Tomorrow, our clothes will be dirty again. But right now, everything is clean.

Akbar is a king, and Birbal is his clever minister. He finds answers to all the king’s problems. Let us read to find out what problem he solves this time.

Let’s Read

Talking Book

Emperor Akbar cannot find his necklace! It is lost. He is very sad. Who can help him?

‘Birbal!’ he calls. ‘We have a problem!’

Akbar tells Birbal about the lost necklace. Birbal listens carefully. Birbal has a clever plan. He brings a grey donkey to the palace. ‘There is a magical donkey in the next room! He will help us find the thief!’ he says.

Think and Tell

Can the donkey help Birbal find the thief?

clever: very smart minister: a special helper to a king emperor: a very important king palace: a place where king or queen lives thief: someone who takes something that belongs to another person without asking

He tells all the people in the palace, ‘Lift the donkey’s tail and say I didn’t take the necklace. The magical donkey will know if you are telling the truth.’

One by one, each helper walks to the next room. They lift the donkey’s tail.

There are many stories about Akbar and Birbal. They have been told for many years. Did You Know?

After everyone takes a turn, Birbal says, ‘Show me your hands.’ Everyone’s hands are black, but the cook’s hands are clean!

Birbal points to the cook. ‘He is the thief!’

Everyone looks at the cook. ‘Are you sure, Birbal?’ asks Akbar.

Think and Tell

How does the cook feel when Birbal finds out that he is the thief?

magical: to have special powers truth: something that is true takes a turn: gets a chance to do something

Birbal smiles. ‘I put black paint on the donkey’s tail. The thief was scared of the magical donkey. He did not touch it.’

The cook looks down. ‘I am sorry,’ he says.

The emperor is happy. He finds his necklace. He thanks Birbal. The cook promises to be honest. Birbal’s smart trick saves the day!

6 Addition and Subtraction up to 20

Let’s Add

Raju’s and Sanju’s mother bought some fruits.

Hi, Sanju! Mother bought 5 bananas.

Yes Raju! She also bought 8 apples. How many apples and bananas do we have altogether?

Adding Beyond 10

Let us help Raju and Sanju find the total number of fruits. Put all the fruits together.

8 apples 5 bananas 8 + 5 = ?

Counting Forward to Add

Start from the number 8. Count 5 numbers forward. We reach 13.

8 + 5 = 13.

So, Raju and Sanju have 13 fruits altogether.

Example 1: There are 7 monkeys in a tree. 4 more join them. How many monkeys are in the tree in total?

Remember!

We get a bigger number when we count forward to add.

Start from 7. Count 4 numbers forward. We will reach 11.

7 + 4 = 11. So, there are 11 monkeys in the tree.

Making 10 to Add

Raju has 7 umbrellas. Sanju has 6 umbrellas. How many umbrellas do they have altogether?

Step 1: Make a group of 10.

Step 2: Count the umbrellas left.

Step 3: Add 10 and the number of umbrellas left.

10 + 3 = 13 Raju Sanju

Think and Tell

Can you add 2 numbers only by using your fingers?

3 umbrellas 10 umbrellas

Remember!

The sum is bigger than the numbers added. For example: 10 + 5 = 15 15 is bigger than 10 and 5.

Example 2: Adi has 8 oranges. Om has 7 apples. How many oranges and apples do they have?

Step 1: Put 10 fruits in one group.

Step 2: Count the fruits left.

Step 3: Add 10 fruits and 5 fruits

10 + 5 = 15

So, they have 15 fruits.

Taking Away

We can cross out things to subtract.

15 pencils. Take away 5 pencils.

10 pencils are left.

Example 5: There are 12 cups in the kitchen. Jack uses 5 cups. How many cups are left unused?

12 cups – 5 cups

12 cups. Cross out 5 cups.

7 cups are left. So, 12 – 5 = 7.

Counting Back to Subtract

We can also subtract by counting backwards on a number line.

Let us subtract 5 from 15.

Start from 15. Count backwards 5 times.

We reach the number 10.

15 – 5 = 10

Remember!

Vertical Subtraction

The number left after subtraction is called the difference.

We can also subtract by writing the numbers one below the other.

Let us subtract 2 from 16.

Step 1: Write the numbers one below the other.

Step 2: Subtract the ones. 6 – 2 = 4

Step 3: Bring down the tens.

Roy and Jenny are looking at the numbers.

Roy! Look, the number 24 comes before 25. Yes Jenny! And the number 26 comes after 25. 24 comes BEFORE 25. 26 comes AFTER 25.

We count forward for bigger numbers. We count backwards for smaller numbers.

Roy: Now I can see 22, 47 and 35. How do I know which is the biggest and the smallest?

Jenny: See the number grid. We see that 22 comes before 47 and 35. So, 22 is the smallest, and 47 is the biggest, as it comes after 22 and 35.

We can order them from smallest to biggest as 22, 35, 47.

We can order them from biggest to smallest as 47, 35, 22.

Comparing Lengths

Rahul and Raj were discussing the size of their pencils.

Raj: I have a longer pencil.

Rahul: No Raj, I have a longer pencil.

Let us put the pencils side by side, and then see.

Raj’s pencil Shorter

Rahul’s pencil Longer

Rahul has a longer pencil than Raj.

Now, Sara also wants to see if her pencil is longer or shorter. Let us compare the 3 pencils.

Raj�s pencil

Rahul�s pencil

Sara�s pencil

Measuring and Comparing Lengths

We can compare the lengths of different things to find which is shorter, longer, shortest or longest.

We can compare heights to find the taller, tallest, shorter or shortest thing.

Error Alert!

Tall Taller Tallest

How can we compare lengths of things which we cannot put side by side?

We can measure lengths of bigger things using smaller things like erasers, pencils and crayons.

Length of table = 3 pencils

Length of window = 4 pencils

So, the window is longer than the table.

Using Body Parts to Measure and Compare Length

We can use our body parts to measure the lengths of things.

Cubit

Handspan Feet Finger Pace

Let us look at more examples of comparing lengths using body parts.

Length of carpet = 8 foot spans

Length of table = 8 handspans

Error Alert!

Can we compare the lengths of the carpet and the table?

No, we should use the same body part to measure each of them.

Let us measure the length of the carpet using handspans.

The length of the carpet is 9 handspans.

So, the carpet is longer than the table.

Example 1: Tick () the longer box.

Comparing Weights

Rahul: Sara, my school bag is heavy!

Sara: But Rahul, my school bag is heavier!

How can Rahul and Sara find out which bag is heavy and which bag is light?

Heavy or Light

Things can be heavy or light. Some are heavy and some are light. We can compare the weight of things using a simple balance. There are two sides of a simple balance. The heavier side will go down.

When both sides are balanced, things have the same weight. The weight of the green apple is the same as the weight of the red apple.

Example 2: Circle the heavier animal.

Write T if true or F if false.

a  A brick is heavier than a flower.

b  A pencil is lighter than a big rock.

c  An apple is heavier than an elephant.

Ann puts 2 balls on a simple balance. Which is heavier? Why?

Comparing Weights Using a Simple Balance

Tinku, Minku and Riya were helping their mother to carry boxes. Riya carried the box easily. Rinku had difficulty in carrying it. Tinku was not able to lift the box.

Ball A

Ball B

Why can Riya lift the box so easily? Let us see why.

The weight of Riya’s box was 10 blocks. It was light.

The weight of Rinku’s box was 20 blocks. It was a heavier box than Riya’s box. The weight of Tinku’s box was 30 blocks. It was the heaviest box.

So, we can find the weight of things, using blocks. They are also called unit cubes.

Think and Tell

Are bigger objects always heavier than smaller ones?

Raj was filling a jug and a bottle with water using a mug.

1 jug = 5 mugs

What do you notice? Let us learn about it.

How Much Does It Hold

1 bottle = 3 mugs

Since the mug is smaller than the jug and the bottle, the mug has less capacity.

The capacity of the jug = 5 mugs. The capacity of the bottle = 3 mugs.

Capacity tells us how much water a container can hold.

Some containers hold more. Some containers hold less.

Water Around Us

Uses of Water

Sources of Water Drinking Water

Look at the picture of the water drop. Colour it blue. Get Set

Water is important for us. We cannot live without water. Plants and animals also need water. In this chapter, let us learn more about water.

Uses of Water

It is morning time. Father is reading the newspaper.

Son: Dad, there is no water in the bathroom. How do I wash my hands?

Mother: There is no water in the tap. How do I wash my clothes?

House help: Bhaiya, there is no water in the kitchen, how do I clean the utensils?

Father: Oh! There is no water in the water tank today. It is empty. We need water to do many day-to-day activities. Some uses of water are:

Like us, animals also use water for drinking and bathing. A fish lives its whole life in water. Did You Know?

Buffaloes bathing in water.

utensils: tools used to cook and eat food

No water in the tap.

Bathing Cooking Drinking Washing clothes

Plants also need water to grow. We should water plants regularly.

Did You Know?

A plant called a cactus can live for many days without water.

Do and Learn

A girl watering a plant

Look around your home and school. Find plants and trees that are drying up. Water them.

Sources of Water

We get water when we open the tap at our home. But where does this water come from?

Water comes from different sources. Some water comes from rain that falls from the sky. Some water comes from water bodies like ponds, rivers and lakes. Rainwater fills these water bodies.

Water is also present under the ground. We can get this water by digging wells deep into the ground. We can also get this underground water using handpumps.

We should never waste water. We must save water and use it wisely.

water bodies: places on Earth that are filled with water

Pond

River

Lake

Drinking Water

We need water to stay healthy and strong. Drinking clean water helps us feel good and keeps our bodies fit.

But is tap water safe to drink? Sometimes, tap water is not safe to drink right away. We need to clean it first. We can make water safe by boiling it or using a filter.

We should not drink dirty water. It is not safe. If we drink dirty water, we might get sick. So, it is important to always drink clean and safe water.

Error Alert!

Boiling only helps to kill germs in dirty water. It does not clean the dirt from it.

We should store drinking water in clean vessels. We should always cover the water vessels. We should not put our hands in drinking water. It can make the water dirty.

Do and Learn

A pot for storing water.

A birdbath is for birds to bathe and drink water. Let us make a birdbath.

• Choose a shallow dish or bowl.

• Add a few small rocks for the birds to sit on. Fill the dish with fresh, clean water.

• Place it on the balcony or in the garden.

• Change the water every day to keep it clean.

boil: heating something until it starts to make bubbles filter: a thing that makes water clean by catching dirt and germs vessels: containers to store things like water
