Heads and Tails

Both the sides of one rupee coin are shown. The side on which there is the National emblem is the heads and the side with number one is tails.

Have you seen the two sides of a rupee coin?

Which side has 1? Heads/Tails

Sameena and Sadiq are playing. The board has numbers from 1 to 99. Each player has a button.

They toss a coin. If it is 'Heads', the button moves 10 steps. So, if Sameena is on 6, she moves to 16. If she gets 'Tails', she moves only one step.

A board is divided into small squares, numbers are written in the boxes from one to ninety nine. Before one , start is written and after ninety nine, home is written. Two girls are sitting near the board with a one rupee coin.

Now you also play this game. The one who reaches home first, wins the game. Is there a short cut for 10 steps?

How Fast Can You Add?

A conversation between Velu, a girl and Akka, a boy about the additions sums given in the text below. The conversation is also given below.

Velu, what are you doing?

7 + 5 + 3 =?

Akka, please help me add.

Oh... you can add these without writing!

Start from 7 and count 5 more to make 12. Then add 3 more. You get 15.

7 + 5 + 3

or 12 + 3 = 15

I can also add 7 and 3 first to get 10 and then add 5.

Then

7 + 5 + 3

or 10 + 5 = 15

Do These

5 + 5 + 7 = ......

6 + 5 +4 = ......

9 + 4 + 1 = ......

7 + 3 + 8 = ......

8 + 3 +2 = ......

Let children do these sums by adding mentally. If some are not yet able to do so, encourage them to use the snake or the hundred chart. They can also be helped to find different combinations in order to add fast.

Killer Lizard

Some numbers are written in circles arranged in rows on a grill. In the first row, five is written in the fist circle, nine in the second circle and zero in the third circle. In the second row, three is written in the first circle, eight is written in the second circle, one is written in the third circle. In the third row, six in written in the first circle, lizard is in the second circle and two is written in the third circle.

The lizard can move only along the lines.

Starting from the blue hole in the picture, the lizard goes to three holes to eat 18 insects.

What path can the lizard take to eat 12 insects?

....... + ....... + ....... = 12

What path can the lizard take to eat 20 insects?

What path does the lizard take for 12 insects?

....... + ....... + ....... + ....... = 12
