$ \fbox{Can you help Dhara find this out?} $

Imagine yourself to be Dhara. Distribute 18 laddoos equally among nine of your friends.

Let’s see how Dhara has done it.

When 18 laddoos are shared equally among nine people, each of They get ………… laddoos.

18 equally shared by 9 is 2 each.

Or, 18 ÷ 9 = 2 laddoos

Try it Out!

Look at the figure carefully. Estimate the number of kaju katlis

Count and write the number of kaju katlis.

Total number of kaju katlis = ……..


Distribute all kaju katlis equally among 5 people. You can do it by drawing kaju katlet on the plates. How many will each get? Compare your work with Dhara’s work

$ \begin{array}{lll} & 2 & 0 \ \text{-}& & 5 \\ \hline \quad \\ \hline \end{array} $

12 equally divided by 2 is …….. .

12 ÷ 2 = ……..

2. Look at the picture carefully. Count the number of jalebis.

There are …….. jalebis.

How did you count? Discuss with your friends.

Counting in groups, we see there are six groups of four jalebis each,

or …….. × 4 = …….. jalebis.

Are there enough jalebis for everyone in Dhara’s family to have four each? Share your thoughts in the class.

How many jalebis should Dhara buy so that everyone can have one get four each?

Plants in the garden

Dhara and Gopal see a flower bed on their way home.

Dhara: The number of plants is not specified.

6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = …..

8 times 6 =

= 8 × 6 =

Gopal: No, it is 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

= 6 × 8

Who is correct?

Skip Jumping Game

In the evening, the family goes to the playing field.

Atya draws a curvy number track on the ground with chalk stick. She asks Dhara to write numbers starting from 0

Starting from 0, Dhara jumps to 3. From 3 she goes to 6. From 6 she goes to 9. Now continue to see how Dhara jumps after nine.

$ \hspace{15 mm} \mathbf{\text{Dhara is SKIP JUMPING BY 3}} $

$ \mathbf{\text{Number of jumps}} \hspace{5 mm}$ $ \mathbf{\text{Number reached}}$

1 jump $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow 3$

2 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow 3+3=6=2 \times 3$

3 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow 3+3+3=9=3 \times 3$

4 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$

5 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$

6 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$

7 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$ $\qquad$

8 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$ $\qquad$

9 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$ $\qquad$

10 jumps $\hspace{20 mm}\rightarrow$ $\qquad$

Let us Do it

1. Guess and write the next number she will jump onto.

……………………………………………………………………………………..

2. Is there a pattern in these numbers: 3, 6, 9, …?

3. How many steps forward is Dhara jumping each time?

  1. Continue Skip Jumping by 6 by drawing the jumps on the line number tracks.
  1. Can this skip jumping be used to form a times-6 table? Write times-6 table in your notebook.

  2. Is there repeated addition happening? Make a times-4 table using repeated addition as shown in the picture below.

7.

Gopal is doing skip jumping of …………. steps.

After 27 he will jump on …………., …………..

  1. What times table can you construct from Gopal’s jumps? Make a table Write it in your notebook.

Dhara also skips jumps. Gopal notes down the jumps but he misses the first few numbers.

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \` \hline \end{array} $ $ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \` \hline \end{array} $ $ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \` \hline \end{array} $ 32 , 40, 48, 56

By what numbers was Dhara skip counting? Construct the times table of this number in your notebook.

Let us Play.

Atya places a flower on 12.

Skip jump with equal steps to reach the flower.

No direct jumping to the flower is allowed.

The one who reaches the flower first number of jumps wins.

What skip counting number will you choose? ……

Play this game with your friends by placing the flower on different numbers on the track. See who is able to reach the minimum number of jumps.

Are there numbers that can be reached only through skip jumping by 1? Find 3 such numbers.

Fun Ways of Writing Tables

Mithu discovers an alternative method for representing multiplication tables drawing sticks! Do you see repeated addition in this?

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \text{Mithu had some sticks.} \\ \text{He arranged them like this:} \\ \text{He counted the red dots} \\ \text{illustrating the intersection of} \ \text{sticks.} \\ \hline \end{array} $

Let’s try making a 5 times table with sticks

1 times 5 = 5

2 times 5 = 10

3 times 5 = 15

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline 1 \times 5=5 \\ 2 \times 5=10 \\ 3 \times 5=15 \\ 4 \times 5= \\ 5 \times 5= \\ 6 \times 5= \\ 7 \times 5= \\ 8 \times 5= \\ 9 \times 5= \\ \hline \end{array} $

Complete the times-5 table using sticks

Make times-6 to times-10 tables using the sticks method as shown above.

Multiplication Tables


Seeing Patterns in Multiplication Tables

Look at the times-5 table. What patterns do you see?

Guess what will be the last digits of 11 × 5 and 12 × 5.

Give 3 examples of numbers that when taken 5 times gives a number answer ending with

(i) 0 ……. ……. …….

(ii) 5 ……. ……. …….

Without finding the answer, can you tell the last digits of 18 × 5? 23 × 5, 32 × 5, 50 × 5.

Look at the times tables of 2, 3, 5. They have a relationship between them. Can you see it?

Is there a relation between the two circled numbers and the boxe number? Does this happen for the next rows also?

Can you find other examples of two tables adding up to a third table?

Let us Do it

Draw pictures for each of the following problems in your notebook. notebook. Use counting, number line jumps, or any other A method to solve the problems.

Help Bhim! Bhim will need …….. spokes.

Think and share with your friends how you found the answer. Let us see how Bhim did it.

10 wheels will be needed:

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

= 10 × 5 = …….. spokes.

Another 10 wheels will need …….. × …….. = …….. spokes.

So, the total number of spokes needed is …….. + …….. = …….. spokes.

Try these

30 × 5 = ……….

(Hint: You can find this by counting the spokes in 30 wheels.)

First 10 wheels will have 24 spokes

Next 10 wheels will have 24 spokes

Next 10 wheels will have 24 spokes

Total = …….. spokes

30 × 5 = …….. spokes

Finish the sentence.

40 × 5 = ………. $\quad$ 70 × 5 = ………. $\quad$ 100 × 5 = ……….

50 × 5 = ………. $\quad$ 80 × 5 = ……….
