Problem solving on addition will help us to get the idea on how to solve the basic addition
statement problems.
1. Three boys were playing cricket. Two more boys came along and played cricket with them.
How many boys altogether were playing cricket?
2. Harry had 5 stamps. Mother gave him 4 more. How many stamps in all did Harry have?
Number of stamps Harry had = 5
Number of stamps his mother gave him = 4
Therefore, total number of stamps he have = 5 + 4 = 9
3. Rachael had 6 stamps. Father gave her 2 stamps. How many stamps does Rachael have
now?
Number of stamps Rachael had = 6
Number of stamps her father gave her = 4
Therefore, total number of stamps she have now = 6 + 4 = 10
4. In a classroom, there were 2 brown tables, 1 red table and 3 green tables. How many
tables were there altogether?
Number of brown tables = 2
Number of red table = 1
Number of green tables = 3
Therefore, total number of tables in a classroom = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6
5. Jack spent 5 dollars for a pen, 3 dollars for a color box, 2 dollars for a pencil box. How
much did he spend altogether?
Amount of money Jack spent for a pen = $5
Amount of money he spent for a color box = $3
Amount of money he spent for a pencil box = $2
Therefore, total amount of money he spend altogether = $5 + $3 + $2 = 10
6. There were 6 yellow hats, 2 red hats and 6 blue hats. How many hats were there?
Number of yellow hats = 6
Number of red hats = 2
Number of blue hats = 6
Therefore, total number of hats were there = 6 + 2 + 6 = 14
7. Alex had 4 books on cars, 5 on airplanes and 7 on boats. How many books did he have in
all?
Number of books on cars Alex had = 4
Number of books on airplanes = 5
Number of books on boats = 7
Therefore, total number of books he have in all = 4 + 5 + 7 = 16
9. Sarah had 25 cards. She got 7 cards more. How many cards did she have then?
Number of cards Sarah had = 25
Number of cards she got more = 7
Therefore, total number of cards she have then = 25 + 7 = 32
10. A farmer had 45 sheep before he bought 25 more. How many sheep did he have then?
2. Sam had 7 dollars. He spent 4 dollars. How many dollars is he left with?
Total amount of money Sam had = $7
He spent = $4
Therefore, amount of money left with him = $7 - $4 = $3
3. Five boats were tied up. Four of the boats sailed away. How many were left?
Total number of boats tied up = 5
Number of boats sailed away = 4
Therefore, number of boats were left = 5 - 4 = 1
4. Ron had 10 stamps. His father took 2 stamps. How many stamps does Ron have now?
Total number of stamps Ron had = 10
Number of stamps his father took = 2
Therefore, number of stamps he have now = 10 - 2 = 8
5. Diana had 18 toffees. She gave 5 toffees to her friend. How many toffees left with her?
Total number of toffees Diana had = 18
7. Dereks father is 47 years old. His mother is 35 years old. What is the difference of their
ages?
Age of Dereks father = 47 years
Age of his mother = 35 years
Therefore, difference of their ages = 47 - 35 = 12 years
Problem solving on multiplication will help us to get the idea on how to solve the basic
multiplication statement problems.
1. Three groups of ponies are eating. There are 2 ponies in each group. How many ponies are
there in all?
Number of groups of ponies = 3
Number of ponies in each group = 2
Therefore, total number ponies = 3 2 = 6
2. A coloring-pen cost 4 dollars. How many dollars Alex must have paid for 5 coloring-pens?
Cost of a coloring-pen = $4
Number of coloring-pens = 5
Therefore, cost of 5 coloring-pens = $4 5 = $20

Here we will discuss about the four seasons and the duration.
Some months are too hot and some are too cold. The period of hot months is called the hot
or summer season. The period of cold months is called the cold or winter season.
In between the summer season and winter season the sky often remains cloudy and it rains a
lot. This cloudy and rainy season is known as the rainy season.
After the winter season, for about two months it is neither too cold nor too hot. There is good
weather all around. This period of charming weather is called the spring season.
Thus, there are four main seasons.

We will learn the relation between yesterday, today and tomorrow. There are seven days in a
week. We know the name of each day of the week. Sunday is known as the first day of the
week. This day is a universal holiday. Our school is always closed on this day. Next to Sunday
there is Monday. Monday is the first working day.
The sequences of the week-days are as follows:
1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. Tuesday
4. Wednesday
5. Thursday
6. Friday
7. Saturday
The names of the days, their short forms and order are given here:
Sunday

Thus, the relation between yesterday, today and tomorrow; is the day before today is
yesterday and the day after today is tomorrow.
We will discuss about the months and days in a year. There are 12 months in a year.
They are: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October,
November and December.
The names of the months of the year, number of days in each month and their short form are
as follows:

Close your hand into a fist and then count for the knuckles. We will see that all the months
with 31 days are counted on the knuckles. The rest come in between the knuckles.
Always start with January on the knuckle of the forefinger then February on the space
between this knuckle and the next knuckle and so on.
To find the number of days in a year we need to calculate
(7 31) + (4 30) + (1 28)
= 217 + 120 + 28
= 365
There are 365 days in a year. One year in four years has an extra day. A year with 366 days
is called a leap year. Every fourth year is a leap year. The extra day is added to February
which then has 29 days. Some of the leap years are: 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988,
1992, 1996, 2000, etc.
How do we find the next leap year that comes after 2000?
We know, a week has 7 days. Now to find the number of weeks in a year we need to divide
365 by 7.
So, 365 7 = 52 weeks and 1 day
We can learn from the calendar that:
7 days = 1 week
About 52 weeks = 1 year
12 months = 1 year
365 days = 1 year
366 days = 1 leap year
about 4 weeks = 1 month
10 years make one decade
100 years make one century
1000 years make one millennium
Note:
The years from 1900 to 1999 is known as the twentieth century.
The years from 2000 to 2099 is called twenty-first century.
The years 1001 to 2000 equal 1000 years that makes one millennium.
Money consists of rupees and paise; we require money to purchase things. 100 paise make
one rupee. List of paise and rupees in the shape of coins and notes:

Coins of 5 paise, 10 paise, 20 paise and 25 paise have disappeared from our markets. Now,
notes of 1 rupee, 2 rupees and 5 rupees re also fast disappearing.
The amounts will help us to find the sum and difference of rupees and paise.
1. Find the sum of 10 rupees 25 paise and 25 rupees 40 paise.
Solution:
Rs.
Paise
10
25
+ 25
40
35
65
Therefore, the sum of 10 rupees 25 paise and 25 rupees 40 paise = Rs. 35 and 65 paise
Paise
17
10
+ 27
65
44
75
Therefore, the sum of 17 rupees 10 paise and 27 rupees 65 paise = Rs. 44 and 75 paise.
Rs.
Paise
65

Therefore, the difference of 20 rupees 30 paise from 65 rupees 30 paise = Rs. 45.
Note: 1 rupee is written as Re. 1.00, 5 rupees is written as Rs. 5.00 and 5 rupees 60 paise is
written as Rs. 5.60.
Rs.

Therefore, the difference of 35 rupees 16 paise from 47 rupees 28 paise = Rs. 12 and 12
paise.
