NCERT Solutions for Class 1 Maths Chapter 06 Vegetable Farm

Question A. 7 tomatoes and 5 tomatoes altogether make 12 tomatoes. 7 + 5 = ____
Answer: 7 + 5 = 12
In simple words: When we put seven tomatoes and five tomatoes together, we count twelve tomatoes in total.

Exam Tip: You can start counting from the bigger number (7) and count forward using the smaller number (5) to get 12 faster.

Question B. 9 carrots in one basket and 4 carrots in another basket. 9 + 4 = ____
Answer: 9 + 4 = 13
In simple words: Nine carrots plus four more carrots make thirteen carrots altogether.

Exam Tip: Try to form a group of 10 first: take 1 from the 4 to make 10, then add the remaining 3 to get 13.

Question C. 8 radishes in one basket and 8 radishes in another basket. 8 + 8 = ____
Answer: 8 + 8 = 16
In simple words: Eight radishes in one basket and eight in the other basket make sixteen radishes.

Exam Tip: Adding doubles (like 8 + 8) is a helpful pattern to memorize for quick addition.

Question. Show how you can add these numbers on ginladi. 13 + 4 = , 14 + 5 = , 6 + 8 = , 5 + 7 =
Answer:
Using the bead string (ginladi) to count:
* 13 + 4 = 17
* 14 + 5 = 19
* 6 + 8 = 14
* 5 + 7 = 12
In simple words: We find the starting number of beads on the string and count forward by the next number of beads to get the final sum.

Exam Tip: The red and white groupings of 10 beads on a ginladi help you count larger numbers very quickly.

Question. Hop and find the sum.

Answer: The completed addition equations from the number line are shown in the table above.
In simple words: We find the missing values or total sums by counting forward or looking for the starting point on the 1-20 number line.

Exam Tip: For equations like [ ] + 3 = 13, you can start at 13 on the number line and jump backwards 3 steps to find the starting number.

Question. Add in your own way. A. Sapna has 12 coloured pencils and Gauri has 6 coloured pencils. How many pencils do they have in all? Sapna counted 12 and 6 more and got 18. 12 + 6 = 18. Gauri did it as 12 + 6, 10 + 2 + 6, 10 + 8 = 18. Can you do it differently? Try and discuss with your teacher. B. Aman has 8 laddoos and Charanjeet brought 6 laddoos. How many laddoos are there in all? C. Sheena has 12 bangles, she got 6 more from her sister. How many bangles does she have now?
Answer:
* A. Sapna and Gauri's pencils: We can add differently by splitting 12 as 9 + 3, so: 12 + 6 = 9 + 3 + 6 = 9 + 9 = 18. They have 18 pencils in total.
* B. Aman and Charanjeet's laddoos: 8 + 6 = 14 laddoos in all.
* C. Sheena's bangles: 12 + 6 = 18 bangles now.
In simple words: We add the quantities together. For example, 12 bangles and 6 more make 18, and 8 sweet laddoos plus 6 make 14.

Exam Tip: Breaking numbers into tens and ones (like 12 into 10 + 2) is a very easy way to add larger numbers in your head.

Question. What would you like to bring for the picnic? Discuss with your friend. Draw the things you would like to take to the picnic and write the total number of eatables in the space provided.
Answer: This is a fun creative drawing and counting activity. You can draw your favorite picnic treats (like apples, juice boxes, cookies, or sandwiches) in your notebook. For example, if you pack 3 sandwiches, 4 sweet apples, and 2 juice bottles, your total number of eatables would be: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 eatables.
In simple words: Draw all the yummy food you want to take on a picnic, and add up the counts of each item.

Exam Tip: Group your drawings clearly so you can easily count each item and find the total sum.

Question. Subtraction - Subtract with some more numbers. 15 - 9 = 6. A. 16 - 4 = ____ , B. 12 - 5 = ____ , C. 14 - 7 = ____ , D. 16 - 6 = ____ , E. 15 - 5 = ____ , F. 15 - 0 = ____ , G. 17 - 9 = ____ , H. 13 - 3 = ____
Answer:
The subtraction results are:
* A. 16 - 4 = 12
* B. 12 - 5 = 7
* C. 14 - 7 = 7
* D. 16 - 6 = 10
* E. 15 - 5 = 10
* F. 15 - 0 = 15
* G. 17 - 9 = 8
* H. 13 - 3 = 10
In simple words: We take away the smaller number from the larger number. Subtracting 0 leaves the number exactly the same!

Exam Tip: When subtracting numbers that end in the same digit (like 16 - 6 or 15 - 5), the answer will always be exactly 10.

Question. Add, Subtract and Match - Find the different ways by which you can reach to the same place.

Answer: The matched addition and subtraction equations that result in the same numbers are shown in the table above.
In simple words: We solve the addition and subtraction sums and match the equations that have the same answer.

Exam Tip: Double-check both sides (addition and subtraction) separately before drawing lines to match them.

Question. Problem Stories - Write your answers in the boxes. A. A potter had 9 diyas. He sold 5 diyas. Then he made 7 more diyas. How many diyas does he have now? B. 6 children sit in the bus at the first stop. At the second stop, 8 more children board the bus. 7 children get down at the third bus stop. How many children are there in the bus at the third stop? C. There are 18 seats in a bus. If 9 children are already sitting in it, how many more children can sit inside the bus? D. Kuljeet got 14 toffees in her box. She shared few toffees with her friends. She was left with 6 toffees. How many toffees did she share with her friends? E. Raman got 12 bananas and ate a few of them. He is left with 5 bananas. How many bananas did he eat?
Answer:
* A. Potter's Diyas: He sold 5, so 9 - 5 = 4 left. Then he made 7 more: 4 + 7 = 11. He has 11 diyas now.
* B. Children on Bus: 6 started on the bus, 8 more joined: 6 + 8 = 14. Then 7 children got off: 14 - 7 = 7. There are 7 children on the bus now.
* C. Seats in Bus: 18 total seats - 9 children sitting = 9 empty seats. 9 more children can sit.
* D. Kuljeet's Toffees: 14 total - 6 left = 8 shared. She shared 8 toffees with her friends.
* E. Raman's Bananas: 12 total - 5 left = 7 eaten. He ate 7 bananas.
In simple words: We solve these stories by adding when things are added or made, and subtracting when things are sold, eaten, or left behind.

Exam Tip: For multi-step questions (like A and B), solve the first step first, write down the result, and then use that result to solve the second step.
