Aman: Help me? How?

Ned the Needle: What do you carry when it rains, Aman?

Aman: (thinking hard) I carry an umbrella!

whispers: talks very softly injection: a needle that doctors use to give us special medicine

Think and Tell

How do you feel when you have to get an injection?

Ned the Needle: That’s right! It keeps you dry. And what do you wear on your feet when you go out?

Aman: I wear my shoes and socks.

Ned the Needle: Your umbrella and your shoes keep you safe. I keep you safe from germs in the same way!

scary: something that makes you feel scared germs: very tiny living things that can make us sick

Aman: You keep me safe? How do you do that?

Ned the Needle: Germs are like monsters! When they sneak into your body, I fight them!

Aman: Just like a superhero?

Think and Tell

Do you think that injections keep us safe?

Ned the Needle: Yes! So, little Aman, I know you are scared. The needle will prick you, but it will keep you healthy.

Doctor: (gently) Aman!

Ned the Needle: Are you ready?

Aman: (smiles) I am ready!

Aman goes into the doctor’s room. The doctor is holding a needle in her hand. Aman closes his eyes. He thinks about the superhero fighting the germ monsters. He feels a small pinch...

11 . How the Elephant Got Its Trunk

Get Set

A jungle is a place where many animals live. Look at the pictures. Colour the animals that live in a jungle.

Elephants are big animals. They have long noses called trunks. Let us read a story about how elephants got their trunks.

lion cow goat hen horse elephant

Let’s Read

In the deep, green jungle, all the animals live together. They are one big family. They look for food together. They eat together. They take a bath together.

Jumbo is Mumma Elephant’s cute baby. He is friends with all the baby animals.

Talking Book

Every night Jumbo snuggles up to his mother when he goes to sleep. One night, he asks, ‘Mumma, why do elephants have long trunks?’

snuggles up: lies close to someone

trunks: the long noses that elephants have

Mumma Elephant says, ‘It is a long, long story, my dear!’

Jumbo quickly opens his big ears. He asks Mumma to tell him everything.

‘A long, long time ago, elephants had short noses, like all the other animals in the jungle,’ Mumma Elephant begins.

‘Really?’ Jumbo asks with eyes wide open.

Mumma says, ‘ We had to bend down to drink water from ponds and rivers. We could never reach the mangoes and bananas on the trees. We could never spray water on our bodies.’

‘Oh!’ sighs Jumbo.

‘We have huge bodies. We eat a lot. There was not enough grass to feed the elephants.’

Think and Tell

Why were the elephants not able to reach the bananas?

‘We could not climb trees like the monkeys. We did not have long necks like the giraffes.’

‘Our animal friends helped us. The monkeys and giraffes always got us food.’

‘But, we needed more food.’

‘What did we do then, Mumma?’ Jumbo asks.

Think and Tell

Why do the elephants want more food?

‘Our monkey friends were very clever. They gave us an idea.’

‘They tied a rope to each elephant’s nose. They pulled the ropes up into a tree.’

‘The elephants were scared. But, they needed more food.’

‘The monkeys pulled and pulled and pulled!’

‘Pulled and pulled and pulled!’

quickly: fast begins: starts wide: (here) big and open spray: push out a stream of water not enough: too little clever: smart scared: afraid

‘All the animals came to help. Some helped the monkeys. Some helped the elephants. All of us had a great tug-of-war.’

‘Finally, Our noses started to stretch.’

‘Our noses became…LONGER…’

‘…and LONGER…and LONGER!’

‘There was big cheer in the jungle. All the animals jumped with joy.’

tug of war: a pulling game

Did You Know?

Elephants use their trunks to drink, eat and shower!

joy: happiness

‘The elephants opened their eyes to see their long noses.’

‘Your Grandpa was the first one to pick a mango from the top of a tree.’

‘From that day on, elephants have always had long trunks. We can now eat fruit from the tree tops. We can now spray water on our big bodies.’

‘Wow, Mumma! I am so proud of my long trunk.’

10 Addition and Subtraction up to 100

Let�s Add

Ajju made many laddoos today!

Oh no, he forgot to count.

Adding with 2-digit Numbers

There are 20 laddoos in 2 boxes and 1 is in my hand. How many are these?

To find out how many laddoos Ajju has, we need to add them all.

20 + 1 = 21

Adding a 2-digit and a 1-digit Number

We add by counting forward. Let us add some numbers in this way.

We can also add numbers by adding the tens and ones. 1 box = 1 tens. Follow the steps to add 20 + 1:

Step 1

Add the ones: 0 ones + 1 ones = 1 ones

Step 2

Write the tens: 2 tens

Both ways—counting forward and adding by the tens and ones—will give us the same answer.

Example 1: Add 61 and 3 in both ways—counting forward and adding the tens and ones.

Add by counting forward:

Add by tens and ones: 1 bundle = 10 sticks.

O 6 1 + 3 6 4

Adding Two 2-digit Numbers

Let us add a 2-digit number with another 2-digit number: 25 + 42.

We add by ones and tens. 1 box = 1 tens.

Add the ones: 5 ones + 2 ones = 7 ones

Add the tens: 2 tens + 4 tens = 6 tens

for Tens. O stands for Ones

Think and Tell

Can you add 25 + 42 + 32? Try adding by ones and tens.

Example 2: 1 = 1 tens. Add 35 and 43 by ones and tens.

Did You Know?

Numbers from 0 to 9 are 1-digit numbers. Numbers from 10 to 99 are 2-digit numbers.

Count and add. Do It Yourself

Draw jumps on the number strip to add by counting forward. Write the answer in the blank.

1 bundle = 10 sticks = 1 tens. Add the sticks and match the answers.

Let�s Subtract

Remember Ajju, who made many laddoos! Today, he made 99 laddoos.

He ate 1 while packing the box. How many laddoos are left?

Let us find out!

Subtracting with 2-digit Numbers

To know how many laddoos are left, we subtract. 99 – 1 = 98 laddoos are left.

Subtracting a 1-digit Number from a 2-digit Number

We subtract by counting backwards.

We can also subtract by ones and tens. 1 box = 1 tens.

Follow the steps to subtract 1 from 99:

Step 1

Subtract the ones: 9 ones – 1 ones = 8 ones

Step 2

Write the tens: 9 tens

Example 3: 1 bundle = 1 tens. Subtract 4 from 44 by ones and tens.

Did You Know?

Subtraction is the opposite of addition.

Subtracting a 2-digit Number from a 2-digit Number

Let us subtract a 2-digit number from another 2-digit number: 98 – 48.

We subtract by ones and tens. 1 box = 1 tens.

Follow the steps to subtract 48 from 98:

Step 1

Subtract the ones: 8 ones – 8 ones = 0 ones

Step 2

Subtract the tens: 9 tens – 4 tens = 5 tens

Example 4: 1 bundle = 10 matchsticks. Subtract 50 from 90.

Subtract by ones and tens. 3

Subtract and match with the correct answer. 4

11 Grouping and Sharing

Equal Grouping

Rahul went to his uncle’s fruit garden.

His uncle was putting the same number of mangoes in the baskets.

There are 5 baskets. He puts 2 mangoes in each basket.

Basket 1

Basket 2

Basket 3

Help Rahul find the total number of mangoes.

Repeated Addition

There are 2 mangoes in each basket.

Basket 4

Basket 5

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 mangoes in all.

2 is added again and again 5 times.

Adding the same number again and again is called repeated addition.

Think and Tell

How many mangoes will be in 6 baskets with 3 in each basket?

Example 1: Look at the picture. How many candies are there in all?

There are 6 + 6 = 12 candies.

Making Equal Groups

There were 5 baskets of mangoes. Each basket had 2 mangoes. Let us call each basket a group of mangoes.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

So, there are 5 groups of mangoes.

Group 4

Group 5

There are 2 mangoes in each group. So, we can call this 5 groups of 2 mangoes.

5 groups of 2 mangoes is 10 mangoes.

Example 2: How many groups of stars are there? How many stars are there in each group?

Group 1

Group 2

There are groups of stars. There are stars in each group. So, there are 2 groups of 4.

Skip Counting

When we are jumping the same number many times, we are skip counting.

Let us skip count the number 2 four times. We will jump on 2, 4, 6 and 8.

4 groups of 2 or 4 jumps of 2 is 8.

Let us skip count the number 3 three times.

We will jump on 3, 6, 9 and so on.

Meena took 3 jumps of 3 steps each.

We can also call this 3 groups of 3.

Remember!

In skip counting, we jump the same number of steps.

3 jumps of 3 = 3 groups of 3 = 9

Writing Multiplication Sentences

Rahul took his friends Meena and Raj to his uncle’s fruit garden to share fruit with them.

They took 3 baskets and put 4 apples in each basket.

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

There are 3 groups of 4.

Example 3: Look at the picture. Fill in the blanks.

6 + 6 + 6 = 18

3 groups of 6 = 18 3 × 6 = 18

Multiplication helps to find the total number of objects in groups.

The first number shows the number of groups. 3 groups of 4: 4 × 3 3 × 4

3

Draw these things and find the total number of things. Then, write the total.

b  2 groups of 6 balloons a  4 groups of 3 apples

b  2 jumps of 3 steps

Equal Sharing

Rahul brought 12 guavas from his uncle’s fruit garden. He wants to give 2 guavas to each of his friends. How many friends will get guavas?

How Many Groups?

Rahul starts putting the 12 guavas in baskets. He puts 2 guavas in each basket till all the guavas have been put in the baskets.

12 grouped by 2s  =  6

Total number of guavas Guavas to each friend Number of friends

Did You Know?

Johann Rahn introduced the symbol of division.

So, we can say that 12 guavas will be shared equally among 6 friends. Equal sharing is also known as division. It is shown by the symbol ÷.

Example 4: There are 15 oranges. Draw circles to share them in such a way that each circle has 3 oranges. How many groups did you make?

Total number of oranges = 15

Oranges in each group = 3

Number of groups = 5

15 grouped by 3s = 5

How

Many

in Each Group?

Rahul has collected 12 coloured stones from the orchard. Rahul wants to share these 12 coloured stones among his 4 friends. How many stones will each one of his friends get? Is sharing good? Why?

Let us share the 12 stones equally among the 4 friends, one by one, till all the stones are distributed.

Each friend gets 3 coloured stones. So, 12 shared equally between 4 gives 3.

Example 5: Share 9 donuts equally among 3 children. How many donuts does each child get?

Distribute 1 donut to each child till all the donuts have been given out.

Each child gets 3 donuts.

Did You Know?

The division sentence for sharing is Total number ÷ Number of groups = Number in each group.

Sorting Things

Soft toys

When we group the same kinds of things together from a group of different things, it is called sorting. We can sort things by colour.

We can sort by size.

We can sort in many other ways! Sorting things helps us to keep our room and home clean. It also helps us to find things easily.

Special Qualities of

Look at the picture. Circle  any two things that are moving in the air. Get Set Air is present all around us. We cannot see or touch air. But we can feel air when it moves. In this chapter, let us learn more about air.

Uses of Air

Rita got a packet of balloons from the market. It was her father’s birthday. She filled the balloons with air. She decorated the home with balloons. Air is used to fill balloons, balls, swimming tubes and tyres.

Air has many other uses. Let us learn about the uses of air.

• We need air to breathe. Plants and animals also breathe air.

• Air helps to dry clothes.

• Air helps the kites to fly. Air helps birds and aeroplanes to fly.

• Air helps to burn things.

• Musical instruments like flutes work with the help of air.

instrument: a thing that plays music

flute: a musical instrument that you play by blowing air across a hole in the side of the instrument

Air in the swimming tube

Air in the ball

Air in the tyre

Do and Learn

Take two handkerchiefs. Spray some water on both. Spread and hold one under the fan. Ask an elder or a friend to spread and hold the other away from the fan in the same room. Which one dried faster?

Wind

We know that we can feel air when it is moving.

Wind: Moving air is called wind. Wind can blow gently or strongly.

Breeze: Wind that blows gently is called a breeze. It feels nice and cool. A breeze can make leaves and flowers move.

Storm: Wind that blows very strongly is called a storm. A storm can make trees sway and fall. It is safe to stay indoors during a storm.

Do and Learn

Make a Paper Fan

Mother and daughter walking on a windy day.

The hot air that blows in the summer season is called ‘loo’. Did You Know?

Things needed: an origami sheet and tape or a stapler.

Step 1: Place the paper on the table. Fold the bottom side up a little bit.

Step 2: Flip the paper over and fold it again to the same size.

Step 3: Repeat till the sheet is folded.

Step 4: Pinch one side of the folded sheet and staple/tape it.

Step 5: Spread open the folds from the other end. Your fan is ready!

Note: Do this activity with the help of your elders.

sway: to move or swing gently back and forth

Special Qualities of Air

Air has many special qualities. Let us learn about them.

Air Occupies Space

Discuss!

What will happen if there is no air around us? Talk about it with your partner and share in the class.

Air takes up space inside things. It always tries to fill the space. Air takes up space in rooms and buildings. Air also occupies space in empty things like bottles, boxes and bags.

Air in an empty box Air in empty bottles Air in empty bag

Did You Know?

There is no space or thing which is empty. Anything that looks empty is always filled with air.

Air Has Weight

Take a cloth hanger and two balloons. Tie an empty balloon on one end of the hanger. Take another balloon and fill it with air. Tie this balloon on the other end of the hanger. Which side goes down? Why?

The hanger end tied with the air-filled balloon goes down. This is because the balloon filled with air is heavier than the empty balloon.

The balloon is heavier because the air in the balloon has weight. The balloon filled with air goes down.

heavier: weighs more than something else

Wonders of Bharat

The Pushkar International Balloon Festival, held in the town of Pushkar in Rajasthan is one of the most famous hot air balloon festivals. Lots of people from all over the world come here to enjoy the festival.

Weather

Weather changes from day to day. Some days are hot. Some days are cold. Some days are cool and windy. Weather is how the air and sky feel and look outside. Weather affects what we wear, eat and do. Let us read about the different types of weather.

A Hot Day

On a hot day, the weather is sunny. The sun shines brightly.

We wear cotton clothes to keep ourselves cool. We drink water and juices to stay cool. We also like to eat ice cream on a hot day.

A Cold Day

On a cold day, the weather is cold. We wear woollen clothes to cover ourselves.

We also use quilts and blankets to stay warm. We like to drink hot drinks like tea, coffee or hot milk.

Watch the weather every day for a week. Write the weather in your notebook. Write H for hot, C for cold, Cl for cloudy, W for windy and R for rainy.

Seasons

Have you seen the same weather for many days?

When the weather remains similar for a few months, it is called season. There are three main seasons in India. They are summer season, winter season and rainy season. Let us learn about these seasons.

Summer Season

The summer season is the hot season. The sun shines brightly. We feel hot and thirsty.

It is a season when you can go swimming and have fun!

We like to eat foods that keep us cool. We eat ice cream, and fruits like mangoes and watermelon.

Swimming in the summer.

We sweat a lot in summer, so we must drink lots of water in this season. We wear cotton clothes in summer. We use a fan, cooler or air conditioner to stay cool.

sweat: drops of salty water that flow through our skin

Winter Season

The winter season is the cold season. We wear woollen clothes like coats, woollen caps and gloves to keep ourselves warm. We use blankets or quilts. We also use heaters. We have food that keeps us warm. We like to drink hot milk and hot soup. In some places, there is snowfall in winter.

Monsoon Season

The rainy season is also called the monsoon. Monsoon is the season when it rains a lot. Everything gets wet, plants look fresh and green.

The sky is filled with dark clouds. At times, we see a rainbow after rainfall.

We use an umbrella, and wear a raincoat when it rains. They save us from getting wet in the rain.

We use different vehicles to go to different places. We take cars and buses to go to some places like markets and school. For faraway places, we use a train or an aeroplane.

Moving from one place to another is called travelling. We can travel in three ways. Let us know about them.

Travelling on Land

Sheena and her mother are going in a car. The car is moving on the road! Many other cars and vehicles are also moving on the road. These vehicles help us go from one place to another. This is called travelling on land.

Remember!

When crossing the road, look left and right to make sure no vehicles are coming. This helps you stay safe!

We use many vehicles to travel on the land. Look at the pictures below.

When we need to visit places far away, like another city or village, we can take a train to get there. A train moves on a railway track.

Think and Tell

How do you go to school?

vehicle: a thing that we use to move from one place to another faraway: at a long distance

Vehicles on the road.

Bicycle

Scooter

Car

Bus

Autorickshaw

When going to nearby places, we should walk or use a bicycle. This helps keep the environment clean.

Do and Learn

Make a transport book of your own. Collect pictures of different vehicles from old newspapers and magazines. Paste them in a scrapbook. Write the name of each vehicle.

Pause and Answer

Write True or False.

1. Cars move on railway tracks.

2. When we go from one place to another, it is called travelling.

3. An autorickshaw can carry more people than a bus.

Travelling in Water

Meena’s uncle lives on the other side of the river. This summer, Meena will cross the river with her parents to reach her uncle’s village. She will use a boat to cross the river.

Sometimes, we travel on water to go from one place to another by crossing rivers, lakes and seas. We use boats to travel in rivers and lakes. We use ships to travel in seas.

Did You Know?

There are some vehicles that can move underwater. These are called submarines.

nearby: not far

Ship

Boat

Fill in the blanks.

1. We use boats and to travel in water.

2. Ships are used to cross .

3. A is used to travel in rivers and lakes.

Travelling by Air

Have you seen kites and birds flying in the sky? What other things do you see flying in the sky?

Aeroplanes fly high in the air. We can travel to faraway places by an aeroplane. It takes us to other countries or to a distant city. Helicopters also fly in the sky. They are smaller than aeroplanes. We can travel very fast by aeroplane.

Discuss!

Would you like to sit in an aeroplane or a helicopter with your friends? Why or why not?

Some people think that aeroplanes cannot move on land. But aeroplanes can also move on land like other land vehicles.

We should check and service our vehicles regularly so they do not release too much smoke into the air. Too much smoke is bad for our health.

The Palace on Wheels is a special train that looks like a royal palace. It takes people on a fun trip to see beautiful places in India.

PROJECT 3

Air Powered Cars

Objective: To build a simple air-powered car. Things Needed: Plastic bottles, straws, balloons, scissors, pencils, tape or glue.

Step 1: Prepare the bottle

With the help of an elder, make a small hole in the side of a plastic bottle. Insert a straw through the hole. Tape the straw to the bottle.

Step 2: Add the balloon

Tape the neck of the balloon over the end of the straw tightly.

Step 3: Make the wheels

Take four bottle caps. Make a small hole in each of them. Insert a pencil through the hole in the cap. Use tape to fix it. These will be the wheels of your car.

Step 4: Attach the wheels to the car

Using tape or glue, attach these wheels to the sides of the bottle. Make sure they can spin freely.

Step 5: Blow air

Make a small hole in the cap of the bottle. Push the free end of the straw through this hole. Blow through the straw to fill the balloon with air. After the balloon is filled with air, put your finger on the end of the straw so that the air does not escape.

Step 6: Test your car

Place the car on a flat surface and remove your finger from the straw. As air escapes through the open end of the straw, it will make the car move.

Project Output: You have learnt to build a model of a car which can move by blowing air into it. Present it to your class.

Final Outcome: This fun project will help you understand how air can be used to create movement.
