Preface
In this 21st–century world, just “knowing” is not enough. Our dynamic and ever-changing world demands “thinking” skills. Learners need to be able to not just consume knowledge but also acquire higher-order thinking skills in various domains—be it in language, mathematics or general awareness—to apply that knowledge. This is the spirit and the recommendation of the NEP (National Education Policy) 2020.
It is in this context that UOLO has designed WISDOM, a 21st–century product for primary grade learners (grades 1 to 5) that includes all curricular areas—English, Mathematics, Environmental Science and General Knowledge. WISDOM strongly aligns with NEP 2020 in terms of its design principles and fulfils all recommendations of the NCF (National Curriculum Framework) 2022–23.
English: This section not only focuses in listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, but also hones the ability to interpret, analyse and communicate confidently. The task-based approach and frequent opportunities for collaborative learning provided in this section encourage learners to express ethical views, interact constructively, solve problems creatively, apply their knowledge in new situations, and take responsibility for their own learning.
Mathematics: This section introduces mathematical concepts through real-life situations and storytelling, connecting them to children’s experiences and transitioning smoothly from the abstract to the concrete. Clear explanations and simple steps are provided for problem-solving. This section supports learners at all learning levels. It includes extensive practice aligned to the levels in Bloom’s Taxonomy—from basic practice questions to thought-provoking and higher order thinking questions.
Environmental Science: This section focuses on conceptual understanding, critical thinking, application, and problem-solving skills, making learning about environmental science highly relevant in the context of the 21st century. Each chapter is filled with vibrant illustrations, relatable examples, interactive activities, hands-on experiments and stimulating exercises. All of these not only promote awareness around environmental sustainability and the SDGs, but also make learning about the world around us a joyous experience.
General Knowledge: This section focuses on enabling the learners to be well-informed individuals so as to navigate through the complexities of the modern existence, make informed decisions, think critically and appreciate the world’s diversity. This section is crafted in keeping with the principles of NEP 2020, emphasizing the need to develop in learners the respect towards fundamental duties and constitutional values, generating awareness on one’s roles and responsibilities in a dynamic world, and fostering a sense of national pride and global citizenship. It offers an informative and enjoyable learning experience, incorporating clear explanations, captivating visuals and abundant questions for interactive classroom engagement.

Heart
The heart pumps blood to all body parts. This blood supplies to other body parts. It also collects carbon dioxide and other different body parts.
Organs are different parts of the body that work together to help us stay healthy and perform all the activities we need to do. Organs are mainly classified into external and internal organs.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if our hearts stopped beating? It’s a bit scary to think about because we need our hearts to stay alive.

4 . Who Is Our Friend?
—Jade Mathieson
Set
Trace the line to help the animal reach its food.
The jungle has different animals. Some are big and some are small. Some have spots and some have stripes. Let us read a story about five animal friends.
Let’s Read
In a jungle far, far away, there are big, green trees. The rivers are clean and blue. The grass is tall and soft. Five best friends live in this jungle—Reno, Coco, Giffy, Zubu and Berry.
Reno is a rhino, strong and grey. There is a big horn on his nose.
Coco is a crocodile. His teeth are sharp.
Giffy is a giraffe. His neck is long, very long. There are brown spots on his body.
Zubu is a zebra. He has black and white stripes on his body!
Who is Berry? Let us ask Reno, Coco, Giffy and Zubu!
‘Berry is our best friend! She is a bird. She is not like us at all. Berry can fly! She helps us all…’
horn: a hard, pointed thing that grows on the nose of some animals
stripes: lines of different colours on an animal’s body
Talking Book
Reno says, ‘Oh, no! I am covered in fleas! What do I do?’
‘My little friend Berry will eat them all up!’
Coco’s hands are small. ‘I cannot brush my teeth! What do I do?’
‘My little friend Berry will peck them all clean.’
Giffy says ‘I cannot scratch my neck! What do I do?’
‘My little friend Berry can reach just the right spot.’
Think and Tell
How does Berry help Reno?
Did You Know?
Some birds eat flies and insects from the bodies of cows and buffaloes.
fleas: small insects that live on an animal’s body
peck: (here) pick with the beak
scratch: (here) rub a place because of an itch spot: (here) place
Zubu’s eyes cannot see things far away. ‘Is the lion coming close? I do not know! What do I do?’
‘My little friend Berry calls out loudly when a lion is coming.’

Shobha: How can I help you mother?
Mother: You can help me count diyas and sweet boxes.
Shobha: Do both things have the same number?
Comparing Numbers
Forward and Backward Counting
Mother: Shobha, can you arrange the diyas?
Shobha: Yes.
Mother: Put 20 diyas.
Shobha starts counting. 1
This is called forward counting.
Shobha then starts counting from 20 and moves backwards.
This is called backward counting.
Mother: No, count and tell me which one is more. Forward and backward counting helps us in comparing and arranging numbers.
Example 4: What is the missing number? Write if you count forward or backwards.

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.
+ 3
Circle to make a group of 10 to add. Fill in the blanks and write the answer.
Vertical Addition
Make 10 and add. Write the answer.
Jiya has 13 clips. Her father bought 5 more clips. How can we help Jiya find the total number of clips? How many clips do I have now?
Adding 2-digit and 1-digit Numbers
We can write the numbers one below the other and add.
Step 1: Write the numbers as tens and ones.
Step 2: Add the ones. Write below the ones.
Step 3: Bring down the tens.
Step 4: Count the clips to check your answer.
So, Jiya has 18 clips.
Example 3: Add 14 and 5.
So, 14 + 5 = 19.
Story Sums on Addition
Sara has 13 big and 4 tiny seeds to sow. How many seeds does she have in total?
13 + 4 = 17. Sara has 17 seeds.
Example 4: Meena has 15 strawberries. Seema has 1 strawberry. How many strawberries do they have altogether?
15 + 1 = 16. So, they have 16 strawberries altogether.

Sanju has 15 pencils. He gives 5 pencils to Ahan. How many pencils are left with Sanju?
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.
Tens Ones 1 6 – 2 1 4
16 – 2 = 14
Example 6: Subtract 5 from 17. Tens Ones

Examples of a bad touch are:
• If a stranger touches us and we feel uneasy.
• If somebody touches our private parts.
• If someone hurts us while touching. For example, if someone pinches or hugs us tightly, we feel uneasy.
What should we do if we feel a bad touch?
We should say NO!
If someone touches us forcefully, we should shout or run away. If someone touches us in a bad way, we should tell our parents or teachers. Never be afraid to tell them.
