The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 initiated a new phase of

developemnt of syllabi and textbooks for all stages of school education. Conscious
effort has been made to discourage rote learning and to diffuse sharp boundaries
between different subject areas. This is well in tune with NPE 1986 and Learning
Without Burden 1993 that recommend child centred system of education. The
textbooks for Classes VI, VII and VIII were released respectively in 2006, 2007 and
2008. Overall the books have been well received by students and teachers.
NCF 2005 notes that treating the prescribed textbooks as the sole basis of
examination is one of the key reasons why other resources and sites of learning are
ignored. It further reiterates that the methods used for teaching and evaluation
will also determine how effective these textbooks prove in making childrens life at
school a happy experience, rather than a source of stress or boredom.
Learning Mathematics is not about remembering solutions or methods but
knowing how to solve problems. We hope that teachers will give their students a lot
of opportunities to create and formulate problems themselves. We believe it would
be a good idea to ask them to formulate as many new problems as they can. This
would help children in developing an understanding of the concepts and principles
of Mathematics. The nature of the problems set up by them becomes varied and
more complex as they become confident with the ideas they are dealing in.
Problem solving strategies give learners opportunities to think rationally,
enabling them to understand and create methods and processes; they become
active participants in the construction of new knowledge rather than being passive
receivers. Learners need to identify and define a problem, select or design possible
solutions and revise or redesign the steps, if required. Thus the role of a teacher gets
modified to that of a guide and facilitator. On being presented a problem, children first
need to decode it. They need to identify the knowledge required for attempting it
and build model for it.
In order to address such issues, the Department of Education in Science and
Mathematics (DESM) has made an attempt to provide this additional learning
matherial at upper Primary Stage. This resource book contains different types of
questions of varying difficulty level. These problems are not meant to serve merely
as question bank for examinations but are primarily meant to improve the quality
of teaching/learning process in schools. It is expected that these problems would
encourage teachers to design quality questions on their own. Students and teachers
should always keep in mind that examination and assessment are meant to test
comprehension, information recall, analytical thinking and problem-solving ability,
creativity and speculative ability.
A team of experts and practicing teachers with an understanding of the subject
worked hard to accomplish this task. The material was thoroughly discussed and
edited.
NCERT will welcome suggestions from students, teachers and parents which
would help us to further imporve the quality of material in subsequent editions.

PREFACE
The Department of Education in Science and Mathematics (DESM), National Council
of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), initiated the development of
Exemplar Problems in science and mathematics for Upper Primary stage after
completing the preparation of textbooks based on National Curriculum Framework
2005.

The main objective of the book on Exemplar Problems in Mathematics is to

provide the teachers and students a large number of quality problems with varying
cognitive levels to facilitate teaching learning of concepts in mathematics that are
presented through the textbook for Class VI. It is envisaged that the problems
included in this volume would help the teachers to design tasks to assess
effectiveness of their teaching and to know about the achievement of their students
besides facilitating preparation of balanced question papers for unit and terminal
tests. The feedback based on the analysis of students responses may help the
teachers in further improving the quality of classroom instructions. In addition,
the problems given in this book are also expected to help the teachers to perceive
the basic characteristics of good quality questions and motivate them to frame
similar questions on their own. Students can benefit themselves by attempting the
exercises given in the book for self assessment and also in mastering the basic
techniques of problem solving. Some of the questions given in the book are expected
to challenge the understanding of the concepts of mathematics of the students and
their ability in applying them to novel situations.
The problems included in this book were developed and refined through a
series of workshops organised by DESM, that involved practising teachers, subject
experts from universities and institutes of higher learning and the members of the
mathematics group of DESM. We gratefully acknowledge their efforts and thank
them for their valuable contribution in our endeavour to provide good quality
instructional material for the school system.

guidance from time to time. Special thanks are also due to Dr. A.K. Wazalwar,
Reader in Mathematics, DESM for coordinating the programme, taking pains in
editing and refinement of problems and for making the manuscript pressworthy.
We look forward for the feedback from students, teachers and parents for the
further improvement of the contents of this book.

Example 17: Floor of a room measures 4.5 metres 3 metres. Find the
minimum number of complete square marble slabs of
equal size required to cover the entire floor.
To find the minimum number of square slabs to cover
the floor, we have to find the greatest size of each such
slab. For this purpose, we have to find the HCF of 450
and 300.
(Since 4.5m = 450cm and 3m = 300cm)
Now HCF of 450 and 300 = 150

So the required size of the slab must be 150cm 150cm.

The collection of numbers 0, +1, 1, +2, 2, +3, 3, ...... is called

integers.
The numbers +1, +2, +3, +4, ..... are referred to as positive integers.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ....... are referred to as negative integers.
The numbers 0, +1, +2, +3, ...... are called non-negative integers.
The integers are represented on the number line as follows :
Fig. 3.1
no
tt
All the positive integers lie to the right of 0 and the negative integers
to the left of 0 on the number line.
All non negative integers are the same as whole numbers and hence
all the opertations on them are done as in the case of whole numbers.
To add two negative integers, we add the corresponding positive
integers and retain the negative sign with the sum.
To add a positive integer and a negative integer, we ignore the signs
and subtract integer with smaller numerical value from the integer
with larger numerical value and take the sign of the larger one.
Two integers whose sum is zero are called additive inverses of each
other. They are also called the negatives of each other.
20052014
UNIT-3
Additive inverse of an integer is obtained by changing the sign of
the integer. For example, the additive inverse of +5 is 5 and the
additive inverse of 3 is +3.
To subtract an integer from a given integer, we add the additive
inverse of the integer to the given integer.
To compare two integers on the number line, we locate their positions
on the number line and the integer lying to the right of the other is
always greater.

Fractions equivalent to a given fraction can be obtained by

multiplying or dividing its numerator and denominator by a nonzero number.
A fraction in which there is no common factor, except 1, in its
numerator and denominator is called a fraction in the simplest or
lowest form.
Fractions with same denominators are called like fractions and if
the denominators are different, then they are called unlike fractions.
Fractions can be compared by converting them into like fractions
and then arranging them in ascending or descending order.
Addition (or subtraction) of like fractions can be done by adding
(or subtracting) their numerators.

Fractions can be converted into decimals by writing them in the

form with denominators 10,100, and so on. Similarly, decimals can
be converted into fractions by removing their decimal points and
writing 10,100, etc in the denominators, depending upon the number
of decimal places in the decimals.
Decimal numbers can be compared using the idea of place value
and then can be arranged in ascending or descending order.
Decimals can be added (or subtracted) by writing them with equal
number of decimal places.
Many daily life problems can be solved by converting different units
of measurements such as money, length, weight, etc. in the decimal

Example 9:
Round off 87.952 to tenths place.
Solution:
For rounding off to tenths place, we look at the

hundredths place. Here the digit is 5.
So, the digit at the tenths place (9) will be increased
by 1 (i.e., it will become 9 + 1)
Hence, rounding off 87.952 to tenths place, we get 88.0

Solution:
Here, we want to fill in the box in 37.28 +

For this, We will have to find 46.8 37.28. We perform
this operation as follows by writing the two numbers
having equal number of decimal places:
no

(Since 46.8 = 46.80)

Example 13: Gorang purchased 2kg 280g apples, 3kg 375g bananas,
225g grapes and 5kg 385g oranges. Find the total weight
of the fruits purchased by Gorang in kg.
Solution:
Weight of apples = 2kg 280g = 2280g (Since 1kg = 1000g)

Weight of bananas = 3kg 375g = 3375g
Weight of grapes = 225g
Weight of oranges = 5kg 385g = 5385g

no
Solution:
Bhavna runs 10 times around a square field of side

rectangular field with length 150m and breadth 60m.
Who covers more distance? By how much?
tt
Example 4:
= 4 side of square field = 4 80m = 320m

Distance covered in 10 rounds = (320 10)m = 3200m
Distance covered by Sushmita in one round
= Perimeter of the rectangular field
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (150 + 60)m = 2 210 = 420m
Distance covered in 8 rounds = 420 8 = 3360m
Hence, Sushmita has covered 160m more than the
distance coverd by Bhavna.

The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth. If
the perimeter of this field is 800m, what is the length of
the field?
Solution:
Perimeter of a rectangle
= 2 (length + breadth)
Length of the rectangular field = 3 breadth
Therefore perimeter of field
= 2 (3 breadth +
breadth)
= 2 ( 4 breadth)
= 8 breadth
The given perimeter
= 800m
Therefore 8 breadth
= 800
Or,
breadth
= 800 8 = 100m
So,
length
= 3 100m = 300m
Example 6:
Cost of fencing around a square field is Rs. 12000. If the

The word variable means something that can vary, i.e., change.
The value of a variable is not fixed. We use a variable to represent a
number and denote it by any letter such as l, m, n, p, x, y, z etc.
A variable allows us to express relation in any practical situation
and to express many common rules and properties of geometry,
algebra etc.
An expression with a variable, constants and the sign of equality
(=) is called an equation.
no
tt
The value of the variable which satisfies the equation is called a

solution of the equation.

RATIO AND
PROPORTION
The comparison of two numbers or quantities by division is known

as the ratio. Symbol : is used to denote ratio.
For a ratio, the two quantities must be in the same unit. If they are
not, they should be expressed in the same unit before the ratio is
taken.
A ratio may be treated as a fraction.
no
tt
Two ratios are equivalent, if the fractions corresponding to them

are equivalent.
Four quantities are said to be in proportion, if the ratio of the first
and the second quantities is equal to the ratio of the third and the
fourth quantities. The symbol :: or = is used to equate the two
ratios.
The order of terms in a proportion is important. For example 3, 8,
24, 64 are in proportion but 3, 8, 64, 24 are not in proportion.
The method in which first we find the value of one unit and then the
value of the required number of units is known as unitary method.

A figure is said to have line symmetry, if by folding the figure along

a line, the left and right parts of it coincide exactly. The line is called
the line (or axis) of symmetry of the figure.
A figure may have no line of symmetry, one line of symmetry, two
lines of symmetry, three lines of symmetry and so on.
Line symmetry is closely related to mirror reflection. The distance of
the image of a point (or object) from the line of symmetry (mirror) is
