Jagannath Sweet Shop
Bappa, Our
Atya likes
laddoos. Let’s
buy some.
Sure!
1, 2, 3, 4,...
oh I am getting
confused in
counting them!
Wait Dhara!
Let the shopkeeper
arrange them in a
box.
How would we count the laddoos in this box?
3 + 3 + 3 = ......
or, three times three equals 9
or, 3 × 3 = ......
There are ...... laddoos in this box.
Please give me
2 boxes of laddoos.
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = ...... .
Or, 6 times 3 equals 18.
Or, 6 × 3 = 18
There are 18 laddoos.
After Atya and children
come, we will be 9 people in
the house. When we distribute
18 laddoos equally to all,
how many will each of us get?
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
them gets ............ 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 katlis on the plates. How many will each get?
Compare your work with Dhara’s work.
20 equally shared by 5 is 4 each.
20 ÷ 5 = 4
Let us Do
1. Distribute all the kaju katlis equally among 4 people.

Let us Think
1. Each cycle needs 2 wheels. How many cycles can be fitted with 12 wheels?
12 equally divided by 2 is ........ .
Let us Think Let Us Think
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 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = .......
or ........ × 4 = ........ jalebis.
Bappa, we have
bought 24 jalebis.
At home we are
9 members. Can we
have 4 jalebis each?
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 get four each?
Plants in the garden
Dhara and Gopal see a flower bed
on their way home.
Dhara: The number of plants is
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 do you think is correct?
Different ways of grouping.
Dhara
8 × 6
Dhara
6 × 8
Can you complete this equal grouping
and write it as multiplication?
Can you find more equal groups of
different sizes? Draw them and write as
multiplication.
Visit to a Farm
The next day the children take their Appa and cousins to the farm.
They see a lot of chickens there. Let us count chickens in the farm
Skip Jumping Game
In the evening, the family goes to the playing field.
Atya draws a curvy number track on the ground with a stick. She asks Dhara to write numbers starting from 0.
Let’s play
a game.
Now, I need a
jumper. Who
wants to jump?
I will
jump
Number 3
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 9.
Dhara is SKIP JUMPING BY 3.
Let us Do
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?
4. Continue skip jumping by 6 by drawing the jumps on the number track.
5. Can this skip jumping be used to form times-6 table? Write times-6 table in your notebook.
6. Is there repeated addition happening? Make times-4 table using repeated addition in the picture given below.
7.
Gopal is doing skip jumping of ............. steps.
After 27 he will jump on ............., ..............
8. What times table can you construct from Gopal’s jumps? Make it in your notebook.
9. Dhara also skip jumps. Gopal notes down the jumps but he misses the first few numbers.
32, 40, 48, 56
By what numbers was Dhara skip jumping? 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 in the smallest
number of jumps wins.
What skip jumping number will you choose? ..........
Play this game with your friends by putting the flower on different
numbers on the track. See who is able to reach in the minimum
number of jumps.
Are there numbers that can be reached only through skip jumping
by 1? Find 3 such numbers.
Fun Way of Writing Tables
Mithu figures out another way of writing multiplication tables by drawing sticks! Do you see repeated addition in this?
Mithu had some sticks.
He arranged them like this:
He counted the red dots
showing the intersection of
sticks.
Let’s try making a 5 times table with sticks.
1 times 5 = 5
2 times 5 = 10
3 times 5 = 15
Complete the times-5 table using sticks
Make times-6 to times-10 tables using the sticks method
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 an
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 relation between
them. Can you see it?
Is there a relation between the two circled numbers and the boxed
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
1. Draw pictures for each of the following problems in your notebook. Use counting, number line jumps or any other method to solve the problems.
a. There are 5 jars with 4 cookies in each jar. How many cookies
are there?
b. An idli vessel contains 6 idli plates. In each plate we can make
4 idlis. How many idlis can be cooked in one go?
c. 30 cookies are to be distributed among 5 children equally.
How many cookies will each child get?
d. Roro starts from 0 and takes 6 jumps to reach 18. All his
jumps are of the same size. What is the size of Roro’s jump?
e. Toto does not take jumps of the same size and still reaches
18 in 6 jumps. How did Toto jump?
f. Suma saves ` 8 every day. After how many days will she have
` 56?

c. 6 × 7
d. 45 ÷ 5
Bappa, I am making a
cardboard rath. I need
to make spokes for 20
wheels of the rath. Each
wheel needs 5 spokes
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 need
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
Describe the patterns you see here
30 × 5 = ..........
(Hint: You can find this by counting the spokes in 30 wheels.)
First 10 wheels will have ........ spokes
Next 10 wheels will have ........ spokes
Next 10 wheels will have ........ spokes
Total = ........ spokes
30 × 5 = ........ spokes
Complete the following
40 × 5 = ..........
70 × 5 = ..........
50 × 5 = ..........
80 × 5 = ..........
60 × 5 = ..........
90 × 5 = ..........
100 × 5 = ..........
Dhara collected 45 spokes. How many wheels can she make?
With 10 spokes, I can make 2 wheels, 45 - 10 = 35. With another 10 spokes, I can make 2 more wheels, 35 - 10 = 25
Does Dhara have enough spokes to make 10 wheels?
How many wheels can you make with 60 spokes?

Sea Shells
Dhruv lives near the sea. He thought of making a necklace for each of
his three friends. He looked for sea-shells the whole day. He collected
112 sea-shells by the evening. Now, he has many different coloured
and shiny shells.
I will make
a necklace of 28 shells.
Will these shells be enough
to make necklaces for my
three friends?
He took 28 shells for one necklace.
112 – 28 = 84
Now he was left with 84 shells. Again he took 28 more shells for the
second necklace.
