Grouping and Sharing
What are you looking at?
I am counting the wheels of auto- rickshaws and bicycles by adding the number of their wheels. But I missed the cars as they had started moving.
Ok! I will show you a way of finding the total number of wheels. There were 7 cars and each car had 4 wheels, so the total number of wheels is 7 times 4, means 28.
How did you do it Ramya? Can you please explain?
Discuss the importance of traffic rules with children.
Let us Do
Let us see
There are 4 bicycles. Each bicycle has 2 wheels.
Total wheels = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
We are adding 2 for 4 times.
So, 4 times 2 is also 8 or 4 groups of 2 give 8.
You know, times can be written as '×'.
4 × 2 = 8
Now! This is easy. Let me do this for autorickshaws now.
Number of autorickshaws = 2
Each auto has 3 wheels.
Total wheels = 3 + 3 = 6
2 times 3 is 6 or 2 groups of 3 is 6.
2 × 3 = 6
Let us do it for cars.
Number of cars =
Number of wheels in each car =
Total wheels = + + + + + + =
times 4 is7 groups of is
× =
How many fours are you adding? ____ We can write it as 7 fours are 28.
Let us Do
Number of butterflies =
Number of wings in each butterfly =
Total number of wings = + + = 3 groups of is
