1 What is Long, What is Round?

Guess its Name Children love Uncle Meeku. He plays with them every day. Today he has kept different things in his bag. The game is "Guess its Name".

Guess what I have in my hand. I will tell you what it feels like.

Uncle Meeku puts his hand in the bag. Team A sings a song.
in the
Find out with your eyes shut well, touch it with your hands and tell. Tell us, tell us how it feels. We guess its name and win the game.

Pointed at one end, flat at the other, but round like a pipe. Guess what it is?

Team A says pencil. F Do you also think so? Now you think of a different answer for Uncle Meeku's question. _____________ Now it is the turn of team A to touch and guess. Everybody sings: Tell us, tell us how it feels. We guess its name and win the game. A child from team A puts his hand in the bag. Others in team A have to guess. Can you help them?
Round all around... has no corners... I can roll it in my hand. Guess what it is?

The game 'Guess its Name' helps children observe and describe shapes of different objects. Discuss similarities and differences among their properties, physical features etc., such as edges, corners, faces, smooth or rough surfaces, if it rolls or slides. For example, a matchbox has sharp corners and it cannot roll while a plate is flat and can roll.

Then is the turn of team B to feel and guess. And so the game goes on ... Now you play this game in teams. Put different things in a bag. A cloth is tied on one child's eyes. She puts her hand in the bag. She touches it and says what it feels like. Her team has to guess the name. How Strong is a Postcard? Hold a postcard from one corner. If you keep a book on it, can it hold the book? Now try this. 1. Roll a postcard to make a pipe.

2. Use tape to stick the ends together.

3. Put a book on it. Does it hold it? See how many books it can hold.

Hurry Up! Be Quick! Children are sitting in a circle in the class. They are playing this game, clapping and singing. What is long ........ what is round? ....... Look around ........ look around ......... Reena says
A bat is long, a ball is round. Look around, look around.

All children are singing ....... What is long ........ what is round? ....... Look around ........ look around ......... Meenu says
long, s i e l t t A bo ound. r s i p a ac ound, Look ar und. o look ar

And the game goes on. F

Now you play this game in your class. Take turns to name two things one long and one round. Do not repeat things which others have named.

What Rolls, What Slides? Look at the picture. Some children are rolling and some are sliding things in a park.

There are some things which can roll and some which can slide. There are things which both roll and slide.

Start a discussion in the class on things in the child's environment which roll and slide. Help children to look at their shape and see how some things roll and others slide.

Look at things around you. Write below:

Things which roll Things which slide
Things which both roll and slide

My Tiny Tree 1. Take a sheet of paper like this.

2. Roll the paper to make a pipe.

3. Your paper pipe will look like this now. Use glue or tape to stick it. 4. Using scissors, cut strips at one end of the paper pipe. Make 7 or 8 cuts.

5. Turn down the cut ends. Your tree is ready! Colour it.

The Tallest Tower

Let us see who can make the tallest tower. I will make the tallest one.

First let us make a tower with boxes.

F Collect different things, such as boxes of different kinds, balls, erasers, matchboxes etc. F Make your towers using different things, like only matchboxes, only tins.

Now mix and make with different things, like shoe boxes and tins together, balls and matchboxes together.
Start a discussion in the class about which shapes can be stacked one over another and which cannot be. Encourage children to look for surfaces which are flat or not flat. They can also get an intuitive feeling that shapes with broader bases are more stable and discuss how different things like soaps, tea boxes, tins, etc. are stacked in a shop. Children will enjoy playing games like 'pitthoo' (seven stones) in which they need to make stable stacks of irregular stones as fast as possible, while the other team runs for the ball.

Coin Play Try doing these with your coin. h Hold the coin like this.

Make the coin spin. Does it look like a ball?

h h

Does a coin roll? Does it slide? Try. Can you make a 1-rupee coin stand like this?________

Try doing the same using a 2-rupee coin and a 5-rupee coin.

Counting in Groups
Look and Guess the Number

Can you guess how many cups?

Can you guess how many pairs of shoes?

3 and 3 is 6 cups and 4 cups below. That should be 10 cups.

There are 3 lines with 3 pairs of shoes in each line. That makes 9 pairs of shoes.

The Big Carrot An old man planted a carrot seed.

The carrot grew big and sweet. It grew very very big! He tried to pull out the carrot but it did not come out. He quickly called his wife. The old man pulled the carrot leaves and the old woman pulled him. But they could not pull it out. The old woman called her granddaughter. The old man, the old woman and the granddaughter tried but could not pull the carrot out.

14

The granddaughter called the dog. The old man, his wife, the granddaughter and the dog could not pull the carrot out. Then the dog called the cat. Everyone pulled and the cat held on to the dog's tail. The carrot did not move. The cat called the mouse.

They all pulled hard together and the carrot came out. ZABOOM! They all fell down!

I am the strongest.

They were so excited! So they all went to the kitchen to make gajar ka halwa and ate it up.

15

Look at the picture and write: Y How many are pulling the carrot out? Y Who was the first one to pull it? Y The cat is _______ in the line.

Y Who was the fourth one to pull the carrot? ___________ Y How many were pulling the carrot before the cat came to help them? Y Make a cap on the third one in the line. Y Make a moustache for the sixth one in the line.
Teachers can create practice activities for the use of ordinal numbers. For example, make 6 children stand in a line. Assign them positions as first, second, third etc. with respect to some reference point. Give them interesting tasks to perform, such as 'third child, tickle your partner', 'second child, hold your nose', etc.

Counting in Tens

Chickens and the Clever Fox Tikloo farmer has many chickens in her farm. One day a clever fox saw these naughty chickens playing around.

From that day, she started stealing and eating chickens every day. Tikloo came to know about it. She asked the fox.

Hey, do you eat my chickens?

No dear, I am your friend, how can I eat your chickens?

Tikloo thought of counting her chickens every morning and evening. But the chickens kept moving around here and there. She said I will put 10 chickens in one basket and count them. And if I find any of them missing ........ I will give the fox a tight slap.
24

In the morning, she counted her chickens. D How many baskets of 10 chickens are there? D How many chickens are there in all? 50 + 4 = ________

In the evening, she counted the chickens again. D There are _______ baskets of 10 chickens. D There are _____ + 3 = _____ chickens in all. D 54 ____ = _____ chickens have been eaten by the fox.

25

How Many are These? Bhanu collects sticks from the jungle. He sells them in the market.

He uses10 sticks to make 1 bundle. 3 bundles have ________ sticks.

D Now, how many sticks in all are these? __________ sticks in all. 4 bundles would have _______________ sticks.
Before doing these exercises, ask children to represent numbers by making bundles of 10 with the help of materials such as sticks or beads. Help them link these concrete objects to written symbols and oral names of the numbers.

26

There is a wedding in Malti's house. She is making flower garlands. She uses 10 flowers to make 1 garland.

8 flowers

So there are _______ flowers in all.

How many flowers are these? ________ flowers in all. D How many garlands of 10 flowers each can you make using 21 flowers? Draw them in the space below.

Leela, can you see all these pencils? How many are these? If you make a good guess, all these will be yours!

Let us help Leela. D How many packets of 10 pencils are there? _______ D How many pencils are outside the packets? _______ D So, altogether there are _______ pencils.
28

Kanak likes collecting different kinds of bindis. D How many packets does she have? _____________ D So how many bindis in all? _____________

Each packet has 3 + 4 + 3 bindis. Now you draw 10 bindis in a different way.

Discuss the strategy used by children for guessing. Encourage them to count in 10s. Also make children notice that 10 bindis can be arranged in different patterns. You may ask children to try different arrangements using 10 bindis which are visually easy to count.

29

Patterns

Binni and Ginni were going home. On the way, they saw some people making the pavement. The tiles used were of different colours and designs. This is what they saw.

On reaching home they saw their mother's sari hanging on a rope. It also had a nice design with different colours.

30

In the evening, they were playing in a park. They saw iron grills on the boundary wall.

Looking at the grills, Binni said these same grills make a different pattern in our windows at home.

We see many such patterns around us on tiles, clothes, durries. Bholu mother. has eaten a part of the shawl of Binni's

Look at the picture and help Binni in matching which piece is of the same pattern.

Read and Draw Tamanna and her mother are sitting on chairs. Tamanna is reading a story book. Her mother is reading a newspaper. Tamanna and her mother are sitting on the opposite sides of a table. Draw the missing things in the picture.

Children may use different perspectives to draw. For instance, some will try to show the table from the top but might show all its legs too, while some might make only two legs. Leave it to them to draw the shapes as they visualise them. Teachers could use different drawings to discuss about shapes and also how they look different from different sides.

41

More Fun with Tracing D Collect some things, such as a potato, a bottle cap, a matchbox cover, a sharpener, an eraser, a spoon, a bus ticket, a coin, a straw. You can also bring other things. D Trace each of these. Ask your friends to guess.

42

D Look at the shape of each trace you have made. See if it looks like any of the shapes given here. Write the name of the thing below the shape.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Help children look at the differences and similarities in the shapes which have come up after tracing. What is similar in the shapes for instance, between a box and an eraser? These have been placed in the same column. Encourage children to name as many shapes as they can. We need to help the usage of words such as circle, square, rectangle, etc., so that these become a part of the child's vocabulary.

How Fast Can You Add?

Velu, what are you doing?

7+5+3=?

Akka, please help me add.

Oh... you can add these without writing!

Start from 7 and count 5 more to make 12. Then add 3 more. You get 15.

I can also add 7 and 3 first to get 10. And then add 5.
Then 7 + 5 +3 or 10 + 5 = 15

7+5+3 or 12 + 3 = 15

Do These
9 5 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 7 4 = = 7 8 + + + 4 3 3 + + + 1 8 2 = = =

Let children do these sums by adding mentally. If some are not yet able to do so, encourage them to use the snake or the hundred chart. They can also be helped to find different combinations in order to add fast.

Lines and Lines

Whose Line is It? Today, there is a cricket match in Fatima's school. Fatima, Jasbir and Raima have each brought their own stump from home. They keep these in a corner of the room. Fatima keeps her stump in standing position. Jasbir keeps his stump in slanting position. Raima keeps her stump in sleeping position.
Raima Fatima

Jasbir

To show others how they have kept their stumps, they draw lines in a notebook. Fatima draws a standing line. Jasbir draws a slanting line. Raima draws a sleeping line. Match the picture of each child with the correct line.

84

Here are some standing lines, slanting lines and sleeping lines. Now draw some more such lines.
I can draw lines with the side of my pencil box.

I can draw lines with a scale.

I will try to draw lines with only my hand.

Ekta's lines are not straight. These are curved. Draw more curved lines by joining the dots.

In this chapter, the standard algorithms for addition and subtraction have been explained using some examples. However, it should be emphasised that learning only algorithms does not help to develop children`s conceptual understanding of the operations. For this, it is important to give them many word problems and encourage them to find out alternative ways to solve them.

0 37 1 38 39 5 28 36 2 4 14 49 4 8 42

Cross out the number you get by adding 27 and 12!

27 + 10 = 37 and plus 2 is 39.

Parents can help children in playing this game. Call out simple addition sums like 18 + 4. Gradually proceed to more challenging additions. Also give children turns to speak out numbers while parents do the crossing out. Similar games can be used for subtraction as well.
