Q1.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Buckets, shown as bundles of ten sticks with some loose sticks.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Buckets?
Answer
The bucket donation: bundles of ten sticks and loose sticks.
2 bundles of ten = 2 Tens = 20
5 loose sticks = 5 Ones = 5
20 + 5 = 25
Number = 25
Why it happens: tying sticks in tens lets us count fast — ten, twenty, then five more.
Q2.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Oil: Twelve.
DonationsQuantityNumber
OilTwelve?
Answer
Twelve means 1 Ten and 2 Ones.
10 + 2 = 12
Number = 12
Why it happens: the word gives the number in our language; the digits give the same number in the Indian number system.
Q3.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Salt: 10+10+10+10+10.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Salt10+10+10+10+10?
Answer
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10
That is 5 Tens.
Skip-count: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Number = 50
Why it happens: adding 10 again and again is the same as counting in tens, so 5 tens make 50.
Q4.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Sugar: the number line shows 60, then ?, then 70.
DonationsQuantityNumber
Sugar60?70?
Answer
6070
The number line printed beside the sugar bags. 60 and 70 are given; the middle mark is left blank.

The three marks are equally far apart. So ? is exactly halfway between 60 and 70.

60 → ? → 70
Half of the jump from 60 to 70 is 5.
60 + 5 = 65
Number = 65
607065
The middle mark is 65.
Q5.
The donations are shown in the table below. Write the number in each case. — Glasses: Ten more than three hundred twelve.
DonationsQuantityNumber
GlassesTen more than three hundred twelve?
Answer
Three hundred twelve = 312
Ten more means add 1 Ten.
312 + 10 = 322
Number = 322
HundredsTensOnesNumber
322322
Why it happens: adding ten changes only the Tens digit. The 1 in the Tens place of 312 becomes 2, and nothing else moves.
Q6.
Write the time and draw the number of people who had food at different time slots using HTO blocks as shown below. — 52 people.

Answer
121234567891011121234567891011
The two clocks printed beside 52 people.

The first clock shows 12 o’clock. The second clock shows half past 12.

Time slot = 12:00 to 12:30
52 = 5 Tens + 2 Ones
52 drawn with HTO blocks: 5 rods of ten and 2 single blocks.
Why it happens: 52 has 5 in the Tens place and 2 in the Ones place, so we draw 5 rods and 2 blocks.
Q7.
Write the time and draw the number of people who had food at different time slots using HTO blocks as shown below. — 145 people.
121234567891011121234567891011145 people
Answer
121234567891011121234567891011
The two clocks printed beside 145 people.

The first clock shows half past 12. The second clock shows 1 o’clock.

Time slot = 12:30 to 1:00
145 = 1 Hundred + 4 Tens + 5 Ones
145 drawn with HTO blocks: 1 flat, 4 rods and 5 single blocks.
Why it happens: the 1 in 145 stands for one hundred, so we draw one whole flat of 100 before the rods.
