Q1.

How many people came for the community lunch? __________

Answer

Jaspreet and Gulnaz struck off one number for each person who came.

The first charts are struck off right up to 1000.
On the next chart the striking stops at 1032.

Last number struck off = 1032
So 1032 people came for the community lunch.

Note about the book: the four time slots on pages 40 and 41 add up to 52 + 145 + 325 + 508 = 1030, which is 2 less than the 1032 shown on the charts. The book’s two pictures do not quite agree. Read the answer off the charts, as the question asks.

Why it happens: striking off one number per person is called one-to-one counting. The last number struck off is the total.

Q2.

Fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers. (The queue of people, with 1000th person, 1002 and 1001 already written.)

Answer

The queue outside the langar. Three labels are filled in; six are empty.

Look at the three labels that are given. 1002 stands to the left of 1001, and 1001 stands to the left of the 1000th person.

So the numbers get smaller as we move to the right, towards the gate.

1005, 1004, 1003, 1002, 1001, 1000th, 999, 998, 997

The whole queue numbered.

Why it happens: the person nearest the gate was served first, so they have the smaller number. Everyone standing behind them came later.
