5 . A Suitable Shell

Get Set

A beach is a place near the sea. It has lots of sand! We should keep beaches clean. Draw a line to show things that you should throw into the dustbin.

Let us read a story about Mili, a hermit crab. Most crabs have their own hard shells that protect them, but hermit crabs do not have their own shells. So, they have to look for empty shells left by snails and use them as their homes.

Let us read how Mili finds a shell for herself.

—Radha Rangarajan

Mili woke up and fell straight into the sand.

She looked up. The sun was shining, like it did every day. But today, Mili felt hotter and lighter. She wondered why.

Think and Tell

Talking Book

How did Mili feel when she lost her shell?

Oh, no! Mili had lost her orange shell that fit her so well!

Mili had no time to lose. She had to find a new shell before it became too hot or a bird gobbled her up!

Mili found a black shell and tried to snuggle into it.

‘Go away!’ an angry voice said. ‘I’m in here, and I need to sleep.’

She left the snail alone and moved along the beach. Let’s Read

shell: a hard cover that animals like crabs use as their home

protect: to keep someone safe from something that can hurt them

wondered: thought about something and wanted to know more about it

gobbled up: ate up very fast

snuggle: to fit comfortably into something

Mili saw a blue shell and ran that way. But it was not a shell. It was a plastic cap, with its bottle hidden in the sand.

‘That won’t fit me!’ Mili mumbled.

Think and Tell

What did Mili find?

Mili saw a yellow shell and ran that way. But it was not a shell. A dry lemon lay there, all the juice gone.

‘How can I live inside a lemon?’ Mili moaned.

Mili saw a white shell and ran back. But it was not a shell. It was an egg with the yellow yolk eaten.

‘This shell will just crumble!’ Mili complained.

Mili saw a purple shell and ran ahead. But it was not a shell. The chocolate had been eaten, the cover thrown away.

‘I thought it was a shiny shell.’ Mili said sadly.

mumbled: spoke very softly and not clearly moaned: made a long, low, sad sound yolk: the yellow part inside an egg crumble: to break into small pieces easily complained: said unhappily

Mili saw a pink shell and stopped. But, it was not a shell. A toe moved, followed by a foot. It was the giant leg of a man asleep on the beach!

‘I think I tickled him!’ Mili laughed.

Mili saw a brown shell and ran up to it. But it was not a shell. The groundnuts had been eaten, and the empty shells thrown around.

‘It will fly away with the wind!’ Mili grumbled.

Mili sees a broken bulb, a wafer packet, and an old button.

But they were not shells.

‘Why are there no shells for me on this beach?’ Mili cried.

Mili saw her friend Toya sliding into a new shell.

‘This new shell fits me better!’ Toya said, leaving behind her old one.

Mili tried the old green shell. It fit her just fine. A happy Mili walked away, hugging her new shell hard!

Think and Tell

Where should you put empty food packets and bottles if you are at a beach? Why?

Did You Know?

Plastic and other waste, in rivers and seas, can make fish and other water animals very sick. Water animals accidentally eat the plastic we throw in the water and this harms them.

grumbled: talked about something in a soft, unhappy voice

Hermit crabs like to live in groups, to feel safe and find food together. Did You Know?

Think and Tell

What do you think Mili should use as her new shell?

Remember!

Doing words tell us what someone or something is doing.

a Mili at Toya every morning.

b Mili her new shell.

c Mili with other animals.

d Mili and her friends in the sea. smiles

Using Describing Words to Compare

Remember!

Describing words tell us more about naming words. They describe the shape, size, or colour of the naming word.

We can use describing words to compare. Look at how we add -er to the end of a describing word to compare Mili and Toya.

For example:

• Mili is smart. Toya is smarter than Mili.

• Toya is fast. Mili is faster than Toya.

Sometimes we repeat the last letter before adding -er.

For example:

• The beach is big. The sea is bigger than the beach.

• Mili is hot in her new shell. She was even hotter when she had no shell.

2. Match the words that compare Mili’s old shell and her new shell. Her old shell is… Her new shell is… hard lighter long brighter light harder bright longer

3. Fill in the blanks with -er form of words.

b A snake is (shorter/longer) than a worm. faster

a A cheetah is (faster/slower) than an elephant.

c A tortoise is (faster/slower) than a cat.

d An elephant is (taller/shorter) than a cheetah.

8 . King Munch and Mr Wise

Tick () your favourite sports activities that help you stay fit! Get Set

A king who loved to eat junk food became so unhealthy that he could not even tie his shoelaces. What did he do to solve this problem? Let us read the story to find out.

Talking Book

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a king named King Munch. King Munch loved to eat junk food. He loved burgers, fries and candy more than anything else. He ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. King Munch also hated exercising. Instead, he liked to sit on his throne all day, munching on snacks.

Think and Tell

Should we eat junk food every day? Why?

One day, King Munch noticed he could no longer fit into his favourite chair. His clothes were getting tighter, and he was out of breath even when he laughed. But King Munch did not see the problem. He thought it was all just fine. His ministers and doctors were very worried. They tried to talk to him gently.

‘Your Majesty, maybe you should eat less cake and more fruit and vegetables,’ said one minister.

‘But I love cake!’ said the king, looking surprised.

‘Exercise can be fun! You can play badminton or go for a run,’ said a doctor.

But King Munch just laughed and said, ‘Why do I need to change? I am happy just the way I am!’

junk food: food that is not good for us throne: a special chair on which a king or queen sits munching: eating in small bites while making a sound

Think and Tell

Why did the minister ask the king to eat more vegetables and less cake?

out of breath: needing to breathe deeply after exercise

worried: nervous or scared about something gently: in a kind way

help him put on his walking shoes and started his journey. The walk was tough. King Munch puffed and panted all the way up the mountain. When he finally reached Mr Wise’s house, he was very tired. ‘Welcome, King Munch,’ said Mr Wise with a smile. ‘I can help you, but I cannot leave my house and my books, so you must come here every day.’

King Munch wanted to argue, but he was too tired. So, he nodded and went back to the palace.

Think and Tell

Soon, the king could not even tie his shoes or walk up the palace stairs. One day, his minister heard of a wise man who lived outside of town. ‘Your Majesty,’ said the Minister, ‘I know someone who can help you. His name is Mr Wise, and he lives on the other side of the mountain. But no horse cart can go there, so you must walk to his house.’ King Munch sighed but agreed. He really wanted to be able to tie his shoes again. So, he asked one of his servants to

Why didn’t King Munch argue with Mr Wise?

sighed: let out a long breath agreed: said yes to something journey: a long trip tough: hard and difficult

puffed and panted: breathed quickly and with difficulty argue: give a reason for not agreeing nodded: moved his head up and down to say yes

Every day, King Munch walked up the mountain to visit Mr Wise. At first, it was very hard, but each day it got a little easier. He started to notice something amazing. His clothes were not as tight, and he could breathe better. He even began to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views on his walks. When he reached Mr Wise’s house, they would sit and talk about King Munch’s favourite snacks, laugh and share stories.

One day, after many walks up the mountain, King Munch looked in the mirror and saw that his clothes fit better. He could now tie his shoes, walk up the palace stairs and fit into his throne again. ‘Mr Wise, you have helped me become healthy without me even noticing it!’ King Munch said with a big smile. Mr Wise laughed, ‘Sometimes, the best way to help is to make it fun and simple.’

King Munch returned to his palace with a new habit. He still loved his snacks, but he also enjoyed fruit, vegetables and his daily walks. And so, King Munch lived happily and healthily ever after.

Using Commas to Make Lists

We use a comma (,) between words in a list so that the reader knows we are naming different things. We do not need a comma before and.

For example:

• King Munch eats chocolate, chips, cookies and pizza for breakfast!

Without the commas we may think the king ate chocolate chip cookies and pizza!

Remember!

We use a capital letter to start a sentence. We end a sentence with a full stop and a question with a question mark.

1. Correct this conversation between the King Munch and Mr Wise by adding commas, full stops or question marks.

Mr Wise: What did you have for breakfast today

King Munch: I had brown bread egg melon and a banana

Mr Wise: I had upma poha and dhokla

The Simple Present

The Simple Present is used to state facts.

For example:

• The sun rises in the morning.

We also use the simple present to talk about actions which happen regularly or every day. For example:

Remember!

Doing words tell us what something or someone is doing. For example: The King walks up the mountain.

• The ministers help King Munch. The words rises and help are doing words. If the action is done by he, she or it, we add -s or -es after the doing word—helps, eats, grows.

We add -es to doing words that end in -ch, -o, -s, -sh, -x and -z.

I watch He watches I wash He washes We do She does We mix He mixes They miss He misses The bees buzz It buzzes

One person

More than one person I eat rice. We (Da and I) eat rice. You (one) eat rice. You eat rice.

He/She/It (Da/Ba/The bird) eats rice. They (Da and Ba) eat rice.

2. Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the doing words. Hint

a King Munch on his throne every day.

b Mr Wise on the other side of the mountain.

c King Munch up the mountain every day.

d They always about their favourite snacks.

e King Munch’s clothes him well now.

The Present Continuous

We use the present continuous to talk about actions that are happening right now or at the moment of speaking.

For example:

Understanding Numbers up to 999

Pooja and Rohit went to buy candies with their father.

Pooja: Father, let us buy candies for my birthday.

Father: Okay, 200 candies for your school friends and 25 candies for your park friends.

Pooja: Wow! 225 candies!

Rohit: How did you count that? Please teach me to count beyond 200.

Writing Numbers up to 999

Let us help Rohit count numbers more than 200.

We know how to count and write numbers from 0 to 100.

We can write numbers more than 200 the same way as we write numbers from 1 to 100.

Counting Forward and Backwards

Read the numbers on the grid again. Read them this way:

Counting

FORWARD

Counting BACKWARDS

Hundreds, Tens and Ones

We know that a 3-digit number has hundreds, tens and ones. We can show a 3-digit number using place value blocks.

We also know that 10 ones = 1 tens, and 10 tens = 1 hundreds.

Let us now see how the 225 candies are shown using place value blocks.

So, 225 candies are shown as 2 hundreds blocks, 2 tens blocks and 5 ones blocks.

Think and Tell

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest building in the world. It has 163 floors. Write the number as a number name.

Write the number that has:

a  4 hundreds, 6 tens and 5 ones

c  6 hundreds and 3 ones

b  7 hundreds, 7 tens and 7ones

d  5 hundreds and 5 ones

Show the given numbers using place value blocks. Use for hundreds, for tens and for ones.

Place Value and Expanded Form

We saw that Rohit and Pooja�s father bought 225 candies.

Now, let us write the number using a place value and an expanded form.

Place Value and Face Value

Place value is the value of a digit based on its position in a number. Each digit has a place value, such as ones, tens, hundreds and so on. The face value of a digit is the value of the digit itself.

For example, in 225, there are 2 hundreds, 2 tens and 5 ones. We can write 225 as:

Did You Know?

Aryabhata, an Indian mathematician worked on the place value system.

So, the place value of the hundreds place is 200. The place value of the digit at tens place is 20. The place value of the digit at ones place is 5.

Remember!

The place value of 0 is always 0 no matter what its position in the number is.

Example 2: Write the place value and face value of the coloured digits.

234  4 ones; 4  953 9 hundreds; 9 806 0; 0 662   6 tens; 6

Expanded Form and Number Names

Let us understand the expanded form of numbers up to 999.

Expanded form refers to writing a number as the sum of its place values.  We can write the number name of a given number using its expanded form.

Expanded form of 983:

Standard Form – 983

Expanded Form – 900 + 80 + 3

Number Name – nine hundred eighty-three

Do It Yourself 6B

Write the place value of all the digits in the given numbers. Then, write the numbers in their expanded form.

398

170

Write the number. Write its number name.

Tick () the numbers in which the place value of:

Some temples in India have steps. The Rameshwaram temple has 127 steps. Write the number name and expanded form for the given number.

Comparing and Forming Numbers

Pankaj and Ria like to play with marbles.

Pankaj had 120 marbles and Ria had 69 marbles.

Pankaj: I have more marbles than you.

Ria: No, I think I have more.

Comparing Numbers

Who has more marbles?

Ria has 69 marbles.

Pankaj has 120 marbles.

It is a 2-digit number.

Remember!

It is a 3-digit number.

A number that has more digits is always greater!

So, Pankaj has more marbles than Ria as 120 > 69 (120 is more than 69).

A 3-digit number is always more than a 2-digit number.

Compare 547 and 328

Both are 3-digit numbers. We first compare the digits in the hundreds place of both the numbers.

5 is greater than 3

So, 547 > 328 (547 is greater than 328).

Now, when the number of digits is the same and the digits in the hundreds place are also the same, then, we compare the digits in the tens place to see which is greater or smaller.

For example, compare 437 and 453.

Chapter 6 • Numbers up to 999

Same digit in the hundreds place.

4 is equal to 4, 4 = 4

Since the digits in the hundreds place are the same, we compare the digits in the tens place.

3 is less than 5. So, 437 < 453.

Now, when the number of digits is the same and the digits in the hundreds and tens places are also the same, then, we compare the digits in the ones place to see which is greater or smaller.

For example, compare 847 and 849.

Same digits in the hundreds and tens places. Compare the digits in the ones place.

When both the numbers are equal, we use the equal to sign � = � . 344 = 344

7 is less than 9. So, 847 < 849.

Remember!

Compare the digits in the tens and ones places ONLY if the digits in the hundreds place of the two numbers are the same!

Example 3: Compare 689 and 681.

Same digits in the hundreds and tens places. Compare the digits in the ones place.

9 is greater than 1. So, 689 > 681.

Ordering Numbers

We learnt how to compare two numbers. Let us now compare more than 2 numbers.

Let us compare 34, 871 and 679.

We know that 2-digit numbers are always smaller than 3-digit numbers. So, 34 is less than both 871 and 679. Now, let us compare 871 and 679.

8 is greater than 6

So, 871 is greater than 679, or we can also say 679 is less than 871. Numbers, when written from the smallest to the largest, are arranged in increasing or ascending order.

The three numbers in this order would be: 34, 679, 871 or 34 < 679 < 871. Numbers, when written from the largest to the smallest, are arranged in decreasing or descending order.

The three numbers in this order would be: 871, 679, 34 or 871 > 679 > 34.

Forming Numbers

We can form numbers by arranging the digits in ascending or descending order. To form the greatest number, arrange the given digits in descending order. To form the smallest number, arrange the given digits in ascending order. We can form 3-digit numbers by arranging any 3 given digits.

Let us form numbers using the digits 2, 8 and 4.

Digits

Digits arranged in ascending order

Example 4: Form the greatest and smallest number using 3, 9 and 5.

Greatest number: Arrange the given digits in descending order to get 953.

Operations on 3-digit Numbers

Rakesh is a fruit seller.

He bought 115 mangoes on Monday.

He bought 123 apples on Tuesday.

To find the total number of fruits, we need to add the number of fruits bought on Monday and Tuesday.

Addition of 3-digit Numbers

Addition without Regrouping

How many fruits are there with Rakesh? There are 115 mangoes and 123 apples.

We know that

Let us add the 2 numbers using place value blocks. = 1 hundreds (H), = 1 tens (T) and = 1 ones (O).

Thus, the sum of 115 and 123 is 238.

Now let us see if we get the same answer by adding vertically.

Step 1

Step 2

Write the numbers vertically. Add the digits in the ones place. 5 + 3 = 8 ones

Step 3

Add the digits in the tens place. 1 + 2 = 3 tens

Step 4

Add the digits in the hundreds place. 1 + 1 = 2 hundreds

We get 2 hundreds, 3 tens and 8 ones.

115 + 123 = 238 fruits

Example 1: Add 143 and 206 by using the place value blocks and writing the numbers vertically.

Use for 1 hundreds (H), for 1 tens (T) and for 1 ones (O).

Place Value Blocks

Addition with Regrouping

The total number of fruits Rakesh has is 238.

Now, Rakesh has bought 177 bananas.

Let us see how many fruits are there now.

Let us add the 2 numbers using place value blocks.

Remember!

When we add, the number of things becomes greater. Chapter 7 • Addition and Subtraction of 3-digit Numbers

tens = 1 hundreds

Now let us see if we get the same answer by adding vertically.

2

Add the ones.

8 ones + 7 ones = 15 ones

10 ones = 1 tens

Write 5 and move 1 tens to the tens place.

Add the tens.

3 tens + 7 tens + 1 tens = 11 tens

10 tens = 1 hundreds

Write 1 and move 1 hundreds to the hundreds place.

3

Add the hundreds.

2 hundreds + 1 hundreds + 1 hundreds = 4 hundreds

Write 4 in the hundreds place.

So, we see that we get the same answer on adding 238 and 177 using place value blocks and vertical addition.

Raghu had 475 fruits on Wednesday. He sold 322 fruits. How many fruits are left with him now?

453 + 212

656 + 322

549 + 144

• Addition and Subtraction of 3-digit Numbers

To find the number of fruits left, we need to subtract 322 from 475.

Subtraction Using Place Value Blocks

Let us see how we can subtract 2 numbers using place value blocks.

Step 1

Show the bigger number using place value blocks.

475

Step 2

Remember!

Subtraction means taking something away from a group. We take away the smaller number from the bigger number. The number of things becomes less in subtraction.

Cross out or take away as many blocks as in the smaller number.

475 – 322

Step 3

Count the number of hundreds, tens and ones left. That will give us the answer.

475 – 322 = 153

Vertical Subtraction

Let us see how we can subtract 2 numbers by writing them vertically.

Step 1

Write the numbers vertically as per their place values.

Subtract the ones. 5 ones – 2 ones = 3 ones Write 3 in the ones place.

Step 2

Subtract the tens.

7 tens – 2 tens = 5 tens Write 5 in the tens place.

Step 3

Subtract the hundreds. 4 hundreds – 3 hundreds = 1 hundreds

Write 1 in the hundreds place.

Here, we can see that we get the same answer on subtracting 322 from 475 using place value blocks and vertical subtraction.

There are 153 fruits left with Raghu.

We subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Write the smaller number under the bigger number.

Remember!

When we subtract the same number from itself, we get 0. 9 – 9 = 0

Example 3: Subtract 23 from 138 by writing the numbers vertically and using the place value blocks and vertical subtraction.

Solving Word Problems on Addition and Subtraction

Shreya and her friends went to a library.

Teacher: Could you please help me arrange the books?

Shreya: Yes, ma’am.

There were 135 books on the table. The teacher gave 125 more books. Shreya and her friends arranged 100 books. How many books are left to be arranged?

Identifying the Right Operation

First, there were 135 books. Then, 125 more books were added. So, Shreya needs to add 135 and 125 to find the total number of books.

Remember!

When we have to find the total number, or how many in all, we add.

There are 260 books in all. Shreya and her friends arranged 100 books. So how many are remaining?

We have to subtract 100 from 260.

Remember!

When we have to find how many are left or remaining, we subtract.

So, we get 160 when we subtract 100 from 260. Thus, 160 books are left to arrange.

Example 3: Situation Add or Subtract?

There were 235 apples in a basket. 125 apples were sold. How many apples are left?

Sure Mom!

There were 3 plates. Aditya placed one more plate. There are 4 plates now. He placed 3 cookies on each plate.

4 groups of 3 = 12 4 × 3 = 12 cookies

Let us count the number of cookies to build the table of 4. 4 ones are 4 4 × 1 = 4 4 twos are 8 4 × 2 = 8 4 threes are 12 4 × 3 = 12

Multiplying 2-digit Numbers

Meghna went to a shop to buy some eggs. In the shop, she saw eggs in trays. There were 4 trays, and each tray had 12 eggs in it. She wondered how many eggs would there be in total.

But I don’t know how to find 4 × 12.

Multiplication without Regrouping

To multiply a 2-digit number with a 1-digit number, we can use the column method.

The shopkeeper has 4 trays with 12 eggs in each tray.

We need to multiply 12 by 4.

Let us multiply 12 by 4 using the multiplication table of the smaller number 4.

Step 1

Write the 2-digit number according to its place value in the table. Write the smaller number below it.

Step 2

Multiply the smaller number with the ones of the 2-digit number.

4 × 2 = 8

Write 8 in the ones place.

Step 3

Multiply the smaller number with the tens of the 2-digit number.

4 × 1 = 4

Write 4 in the tens place.

So, 12 × 4 = 48.

Example 4: Multiply 23 × 3.

Did You Know?

Brahmagupta, an Indian Mathematician was the first one to explain the rules of multiplication.

So, 23 × 3 = 69.

Chaach is a curd-based drink. It has a cooling, refreshing effect on the body in summer. Each jug has 3 glasses of chaach. 13 such jugs will have 13 × 3 = glasses of chaach.

Multiplication with Regrouping

Let us learn how to group ones and tens to make multiplication of larger numbers easier.

Regrouping Ones and Tens

Abdul has 93 marbles in each packet. He has 4 such packets. To see how many marbles Abdul has in total, we need to multiply 93 by 4.

Look at the given steps:

Step 1

Write the 2-digit number according to its place value in the table. Write the smaller number below it.

Step 2

Multiply the smaller number with the ones digit of the 2-digit number. 4 × 3 = 12. 12 has 1 tens and 2 ones.

Write 2 in the ones place and carry over the 1 to the tens place.

8 • Multiplication Tables 3, 4 and 6

Step 3

Multiply the smaller number with the tens of the 2-digit number.

9 × 4 = 36. We carried over 1 tens.

36 + 1 = 37

Write 3 in the hundreds place and 7 in the tens place.

So, 93 × 4 = 372.

Example 5: Multiply 63 by 8.

So, 63 × 8 = 504

Makar Sankranti is celebrated with kite flying to mark the end of winters. There are 13 types of kites available at stalls A and B.

If stall A sells 2 kites of each type, the total number sold is = 13 × 2 = 26 kites.

If stall B sells 6 kites of each type, the total number sold is = 13 × = kites.

Write True or False. By multiplying 41 by 6, we will get 7 ones. Explain your answer by showing multiplication.

Story Problems on Multiplication

Let us explore some story problems on multiplication.

Meghna went to another shop and saw 6 trays, with 30 eggs in each tray. How many eggs were there in total?

What do we know?

Total trays = 6

Eggs in each tray = 30

What do we want to know?

We need to find the total number of eggs. How do we find the answer?

Total number of eggs = Total trays × Eggs in each tray

Solve to find the answer.

= 30 × 6 = 180 eggs

So, there are 180 eggs in all.

There are 98 packets and 5 candies in each packet. How many candies are there in total?

9 Introduction to Division

Understanding Division

Sam has 6 chocolates.

Sam wants to share the chocolates with his friend, Ravi. Both of them should have the same number of chocolates.

How many chocolates will Sam share with Ravi?

Division as Equal Sharing

Let us divide the 6 chocolates equally between Sam and Ravi. First, each boy takes 1 chocolate.

We strike out 2.

4 chocolates are left with Sam. Then, again they take 1 more chocolate each.

We strike out 2 more chocolates.

Now, 2 chocolates are left with Sam.

Then, they take 1 more chocolate each.

We strike out 2 chocolates.

We get 2 groups of 3 chocolates.

No more chocolates are left with Sam.

Example 1: Share 4 laddoos between Meena and Tina.

Strike out 2 laddoos. Meena and Tina get 1 laddoo each.

Strike out 2 remaining laddoos. Meena and Tina get 2 laddoos each.

Example 2: There are 10 apples. Circle to show 2 apples in each basket.

Remember!

In division, an equal number of objects is kept in each group.

There are 2 apples in each basket. There are 5 groups of 2 apples.

Circle the set of pictures that show equal sharing. One has been done for you.

b c Draw and share the objects equally.

a Share 9 carrots among 3 rabbits.

Each rabbit will get carrots.

b  Share 8 biscuits between 2 friends. Each friend will get biscuits.

How many items will each child get?

a 8 bananas shared equally among 4 children.

b 12 cupcakes shared equally among 4 children.

Division as Repeated Subtraction

There are 20 mangoes. Draw pictures to divide the mangoes among 5 children. How many mangoes did each child get?

Next day, 8 chocolates were divided between Sam and Ravi. They got 4 chocolates each.

Let us understand this using subtraction.

There were 8 chocolates. Sam Ravi

One chocolate was taken by each.

8 – 2 = 6. 6 chocolates are left.

One more chocolate was taken by each.

6 – 2 = 4. 4 chocolates are left

One more chocolate was taken by each.

4 – 2 = 2. 2 chocolates are left.

Again, one more chocolate was taken by each.

2 – 2 = 0. No chocolates are left.

We see that 2 is subtracted from 8 four times. This means 8 divided by 2 is equal to 4. So, division is also known as repeated subtraction.

Let us see this using a number strip.

=

The answer is 4 because we are subtracting 2 four times until we get 0.

Division Fact

Dividing 8 in equal groups of 2 can be written as 8 ÷ 2 = 4. This is the division fact. ‘÷’ is the symbol used to show division.

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Remember!

We keep subtracting from the total until the answer is 0.

8 divided into groups of 2 will give 4 equal groups.

Total number of things.

Number of things in each group.

Number of groups.

Example 3: Divide 12 pencils among a group of students such that each student gets 3 pencils. Use repeated subtraction to find the number of students.

3 is subtracted from 12 four times.

12 ÷ 3 = 4 is the division fact, so 4 students get 3 pencils each.

Example 4: Show the division fact 12 ÷ 4 using a number strip. We start going back from 12 by 4 steps.

The answer is 3 because we are subtracting 4 three times until we get 0.

Write True or False.

a  15 objects in 3 equal groups, with 5 objects in each group.

b  12 objects in 4 equal groups, with 2 objects in each group.

c  20 in 4 equal groups can be written as 4 ÷ 20.

Division and Multiplication Facts

Let us see how multiplication and division are related.

Case 1: 8 chocolates are divided between Sam and Ravi. They have 4 chocolates each.

We have 2 groups of 4.

Division fact: 8 ÷ 2 = 4

How do we get this using multiplication?

Say the table of 2 until we get 8.

2 × 4 = 8. (Multiplication fact)

So, 8 ÷ 2 = 4.

Case 2: 8 chocolates are divided among 4 children. They get 2 chocolates each. We have 4 groups of 2.

Division fact: 8 ÷ 4 = 2

Say the table of 4 until we get 8.

4 × 2 = 8. (Multiplication fact)

So, 8 ÷ 4 =2.

Weather and Seasons

Weather Seasons

What kind of a day does each picture show? Write it in the boxes. Get Set

We see different kinds of weather every day. On some days, the sun may shine brightly and the very next day it may rain. Have you ever thought about how the weather changes? How is weather different from seasons? Let us learn about weather and seasons in this chapter.

Weather

Weather is how it feels at a particular time and place. It can be hot, cold, rainy, cloudy or windy. It can change from day to day and even from hour to hour.

We choose our clothes and the things we want to do, depending on the weather. For example, we like to wear light cotton clothes and play outside on sunny days. We wear warm clothes and drink hot milk or tea on colder days. We use a raincoat or umbrella to keep ourselves dry on rainy days.

Seasons

When the weather remains similar for a few months, it is called a season. Each season has its own kind of weather. We have five seasons: summer, rainy (monsoon), autumn, winter and spring. Let us learn about each season.

Summer Season

Summer is the hottest season of the year. The days are long, and the sun shines brightly. We feel hot and thirsty. We wear light cotton clothes to stay cool. We also like to eat fruits and ice-creams. We use a fan, cooler or air conditioner to stay cool. Activities like swimming is popular in this season. We must drink lots of water in this season.

Rainy Season

The rainy season brings a lot of rain. The sky is often covered with dark clouds. We need umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry in the rain. Plants and trees grow well because they get a lot of water. They also look very fresh and green! We see puddles on the roads. When it rains, we see the lightning in the sky and hear the thunder.

Think and Tell

Do you like the rainy season? Why or why not?

Autumn Season

Autumn comes after the rainy season. The weather is not too cold or too hot. Most trees shed their leaves. The leaves of some trees change colour to orange, yellow or red before they fall. The days get shorter in autumn, so it gets dark earlier in the evening.

Do and Learn

Collect differently-coloured leaves and paste them on a sheet of paper to make a beautiful autumn collage.

Winter Season

Winter is the coldest season of the year. The days are short, and the nights are long. We wear warm clothes like woollen sweaters, jackets, caps and gloves to keep warm. We like to drink soup, tea, coffee and hot milk.

We also use blankets or quilts and heaters to keep our bodies warm. A girl wearing woollens and drinking coffee to stay warm.

Spring Season

Spring season comes after winter. It is a season when the weather starts to get warmer, and flowers begin to bloom. It is a great time to go outside and play in the sunshine, fly kites and have picnics.

Wonders of Bharat

Varahamihira was an ancient Indian astronomer and mathematician. He taught people how to guess the weather by studying the sky and the clouds.

A. D.

Air

Have you ever blown a balloon or felt the air on your face? That is air in action! Air is all around us. We cannot see it, but we can feel it. When we breathe, we can feel air going in and out of our nose. Air is a mixture of many gases. Without air, we would not be able to breathe, plants would not grow and birds would not fly. Fast moving air is called wind.

Remember!

A boy blowing air into a balloon.

Breeze: Wind that blows gently is called a breeze. It feels nice and cool. Storm: A wind that blows strongly is called a storm.

Uses of Air

Air is useful in many ways.

• Breathing: We breathe in and breathe out air.

We breathe in air.

• Flying: Birds and aeroplanes fly in the air. People fly kites in the air.

Aeroplane flies in the air.

• Filling up: Air fills up balls, balloons and tyres.

Fans keep us cool.

• Cooling: Fans and air conditioners move air to cool us down on hot days.

mixture: a mix of many things

Air helps dry clothes.

• Drying: Air helps dry clothes when they are wet.

• Lighting fire: We need air to light a fire.

Did You Know?

Astronauts carry their air in cylinders to breathe in space because there is no air there.

Pause and Answer

Write True or False.

1. We can live without air.

2. Aeroplanes do not need air to fly.

3. Air helps dry our clothes.

Properties of Air

Air has some special properties. Let us understand them with fun activities!

Air Occupies Space

Have you ever seen how a balloon gets bigger and bigger when you blow air into it? A balloon becomes bigger when we blow air into it because air fills the space inside the balloon and gives it a shape. This shows that air occupies space.

Air occupies space.

properties: qualities

Air Has Weight

Have you ever thought why a balloon filled with air is heavier than an empty balloon? Let us know about it with an activity! Air has weight.

Do and Learn

Things needed: Two balloons, string, hanger

Steps:

• Inflate (fill in air) both the balloons so they are the same size.

• Tie each balloon to the ends of the hanger with a string.

• Balance the hanger on a table.

• Gently poke one balloon with a needle. That will burst the balloon and let the air in it out.

• Notice how the side with the balloon that has air in it goes down. This shows that air has weight.

Air Has Water

Have you ever seen water drops outside a cold glass of water? Let us find out more with an activity!

Do and Learn

Things needed: glass, ice cubes, water

Steps:

• Fill a glass with ice cubes and add water.

• Wait for a few minutes and look at the outside of the glass.

• Look at the water drops that form on the outer surface of the glass.

The air that touches the cold outer surface of the glass turns into drops of water (we see on the outside of the glass). This shows that air contains water.

inflate: to fill with air

Air has water.

Air Pollution

Have you seen smoke coming out of vehicles on the road or from the chimneys of a factory? Does it make the air dirty? Yes, and this smoke causes air pollution.

Air pollution happens when the air gets dirty with harmful gases, smoke and dust. This can make it difficult for us to breathe and can harm plants and animals.

We need clean air to stay healthy. Plants clean the air by removing harmful gases. We should grow more plants to get fresh and clean air.

Wonders of Bharat

The International Kite Festival held in Gujarat is one of the most famous kite festivals in India. Visitors come from all over the world to participate in this festival and fly kites with unique shapes.

Tick ( ) the activities that need water.

Water is something we use every day. It is important for all of us. Let us know more about water and why it is so important for us.

A. B.

C. D.

Water and Its Uses

Think about all the things you do in a day. We use water to brush our teeth, wash our hands, or drink when we are thirsty. It is important for all living things.

We use water to cook food. Plants need water to grow. Animals like fish live in water. Plants like lotus grow in water.

Sources of Water

We get water from different sources such as rivers, streams, waterfalls and rain. Let us learn about these sources of water.

When snow melts in the mountains, the water from the melted snow flows down the mountains. Some of the water seeps into the ground while some water that flows down makes waterfalls, streams and rivers.

sources: from where something comes seeps: to flow or leak slowly through small openings

Waterfall

Rainwater helps fill rivers, ponds and streams.

The rainwater that seeps into the ground makes groundwater. We use wells, handpumps and tubewells to get this water. People dig deep holes called wells to reach the underground water. A hand pump helps us pump water from underground.

Seas and oceans also have lots of water. But we cannot use it for drinking, bathing, washing or cooking because it is very, very salty.

Water Pollution

Think about a time when you saw dirty water. How did it make you feel? Would you like to drink it or swim in it?

Water pollution is the addition of harmful things like waste from factories, house waste and trash into the water. It makes the water dirty and unsafe for people, plants and animals.

Cleaning Water

Sakshi did not come to school today. She is unwell because she drank water from outside, which was dirty. We should never drink dirty water. It can make us sick. Always drink clean water as it does not have harmful substances and germs.

Here are some ways to clean water:

Boiling: Heat the water till it bubbles. Heat it like that for 2–5 minutes. This helps to kill the germs present in water.

Using a water filter: A water filter can help remove dirt and germs from the water.

Saving Water

Have you ever faced water-shortage? How can you help save water? Water is precious, and we need to save it. Here are some ways to save water:

Turn off the tap when not in use.

Fix leaks to save water. Collect rainwater and use it for other activities.

The Ganga River is a very important river. Many festivals and important ceremonies happen along the banks of the Ganga. It shows how much people love and respect the river. The Ganga River provides water for farming for a large part of India.
