NCERT Solutions for Class 1 Maths Chapter 08 Fun with Numbers

Question. Simran was putting oranges in boxes. Each box can hold 10 oranges. How many boxes would she need? She packed them in boxes. Do you know how many oranges are there? Write the numbers.
Answer:
Counting the orange packs and loose oranges:
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 3 loose oranges make 23 (Twenty-Three).
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 4 loose oranges make 24 (Twenty-Four).
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 5 loose oranges make 25 (Twenty-Five).
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 6 loose oranges make 26 (Twenty-Six).
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 7 loose oranges make 27 (Twenty-Seven).
In simple words: We count the filled boxes of ten as "tens" and the loose oranges as "ones" to write the two-digit numbers.

Exam Tip: Each fully packed box stands for 10. Counting in tens (10, 20...) helps you find the total faster.

Question. Write 21 to 30.
Answer:
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 8 loose oranges make 28 (Twenty-Eight).
* Two boxes of 10 oranges and 9 loose oranges make 29 (Twenty-Nine).
* Three boxes of 10 oranges with no loose oranges make 30 (Thirty).

Completed Number Grid:
The grid rows are filled sequentially with numbers from 21 to 30:
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
In simple words: We fill in the empty spaces in the table by writing the numbers from 21 to 30 in order.

Exam Tip: Practice writing and reciting the numbers from 21 to 30 to get comfortable with counting in the twenties.

Question. Let us count the number of flowers and the number of neem daatun. Number 31 to 50.

* Four blue garlands of 10 and 9 loose flowers make 39 (Thirty-Nine).
* Four blue garlands of 10 with no loose flowers make 40 (Forty).
In simple words: We count the garlands of ten first, and then add the loose flowers to find the numbers from 31 to 40.

Exam Tip: A full garland has exactly 10 flowers. Counting in tens (10, 20, 30...) makes counting fast and fun.

Question. Number 41 to 50 - Count and write the numbers of neem daatuns.
Answer:
Counting the neem daatun stick bundles (each bundle has 10 sticks):
* Four bundles of 10 and 1 loose stick make 41 (Forty-One).
* Four bundles of 10 and 2 loose sticks make 42 (Forty-Two).
* Four bundles of 10 and 3 loose sticks make 43 (Forty-Three).
* Four bundles of 10 and 4 loose sticks make 44 (Forty-Four).

* Four bundles of 10 and 8 loose sticks make 48 (Forty-Eight).
* Four bundles of 10 and 9 loose sticks make 49 (Forty-Nine).
* Five bundles of 10 with no loose sticks make 50 (Fifty).
In simple words: We count the bundles of ten sticks first, and then add the loose sticks to find the numbers from 41 to 50.

Exam Tip: A tied bundle of sticks always represents 10. Counting in tens helps you check your answers quickly.

Question. Let us Do - A. Pick up any number card from 1 to 50. Can you place the number card with help of the clip on ginladi at the right place? B. Write the number on the number cards placed on the ginladi.
Answer:
Counting the beads on the ginladi (bead string) from left to right:
* A. The cards should be placed at the following bead positions: 2, 13, 22, 31, and 44.
* B. The numbers of the cards attached to the ginladi are: 4, 16, 27, 37, and 47.
In simple words: We count the beads on the string from left to right to find the correct number for each clip.

Exam Tip: Since the beads are grouped in sets of 10 (red and white), you can skip-count by tens to find positions quickly.

Question. Count and write the numbers.
Answer:
Counting the grouped and loose items:
* In the first row, there are 4 garlands of ten and 5 loose flowers, making 45 flowers in total.
* In the second row, there are 4 bundles of ten and 7 loose sticks, making 47 sticks in total.
* In the third row, there are 3 cups of ten and 2 loose pencils, making 32 pencils in total.
In simple words: We find the tens from the groups and the ones from the loose items to write the final two-digit numbers.

Exam Tip: Grouped items (like garlands or cups) are tens. Always write the tens digit first, then the ones digit.

Question. Fill up the tens frames to show the number. One has already been done for you.
29, 41, 30
Answer:
To represent the numbers in the ten-frames:
* For 29: Color 2 full frames (20 boxes) and 9 boxes in the third frame.
* For 41: Color 4 full frames (40 boxes) and 1 box in the fifth frame.
* For 30: Color 3 full frames (30 boxes) completely.
In simple words: We color one square for each count. For example, 30 means we fill three full frames of ten.

Exam Tip: Ten-frames are grouped in tens. 41 means four full tens plus one extra block.

Question. Fill up the missing numbers.
Answer:
Following the milestones on the road, the missing numbers are:
32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46
In simple words: We fill in the empty milestones on the road by counting forward from 32 up to 46.

Exam Tip: Winding roads can be tricky. Always follow the milestones in order and count forward step-by-step.

Question. Farha said that she has packed more than fifty amazing things in her matchbox. Her friends wondered what these things could be. They had a big surprise when she opened her box. Can you collect some items and see how many a matchbox can hold?
Answer:
This is a fun craft and sorting game! You can collect very small objects from your house or school to see how many can fit inside a tiny matchbox:
* Try collecting matchsticks, tiny buttons, mustard seeds, or small beads.
* Count how many of these tiny items you can fit inside. You will be surprised at how many fit!
In simple words: Find tiny things like seeds or beads and see how many you can fit inside a small box.

Exam Tip: The smaller the items (like tiny seeds), the more of them you can fit inside the box!

Question. Numbers from 51 - 99 - Ankita is pasting mirrors on her house. Help her to find out how many mirrors she has used in the design.
Answer: Ankita has used exactly 68 small circular mirrors in her beautiful house design.
In simple words: When we count all the little shiny mirrors on her house wall, we find sixty-eight mirrors.

Exam Tip: Count the mirrors in rows of 10 (since there are 6 rows of 10 and 8 loose mirrors) to get 68 quickly.

Question. Count and write the numbers from 51 to 60. Count and write the numbers from 61 to 80. Count and write the numbers from 81 to 100.
Answer:
Here is how we represent these numbers using bundles of 10 sticks (Tens) and loose sticks (Ones):
* 51 to 60:
- 51: 5 bundles of 10, 1 loose stick.
- 52: 5 bundles of 10, 2 loose sticks.
- 53: 5 bundles of 10, 3 loose sticks.
- 54: 5 bundles of 10, 4 loose sticks.
- 55: 5 bundles of 10, 5 loose sticks.
- 56: 5 bundles of 10, 6 loose sticks.
- 57: 5 bundles of 10, 7 loose sticks.
- 58: 5 bundles of 10, 8 loose sticks.
- 59: 5 bundles of 10, 9 loose sticks.
- 60: 6 bundles of 10, 0 loose sticks.
* 61 to 70: 61 to 69 have 6 bundles of 10 and loose sticks from 1 to 9. 70 has 7 bundles of 10.
* 71 to 80: 71 to 79 have 7 bundles of 10 and loose sticks from 1 to 9. 80 has 8 bundles of 10.
* 81 to 90: 81 to 89 have 8 bundles of 10 and loose sticks from 1 to 9. 90 has 9 bundles of 10.
* 91 to 100: 91 to 99 have 9 bundles of 10 and loose sticks from 1 to 9. 100 has 10 bundles of 10.
In simple words: Every group of 10 sticks makes a bundle. By counting the bundles and the extra single sticks, we can write any number up to 100.

Exam Tip: One Hundred (100) is made of exactly 10 bundles of ten sticks (10 tens = 100).

Question. Tie a ginladi from one end to the other. Choose a random number (1 to 99) card. Attach the number cards at the appropriate place on the ginladi with a clip. Play with your friends using other cards also.
Answer:
When playing the bead string (ginladi) game with numbers up to 100:
* The card 24 is placed near the beginning (after 2 tens and 4 beads).
* The card 50 is placed exactly in the middle of the string (after 5 tens of beads).
* The card 75 is placed after 7 tens and 5 beads.
* The card 100 is placed at the very end of the string (after 10 tens).
In simple words: We clip the cards on the string based on tens and ones. For example, 50 is clipped right in the middle.

Exam Tip: Since every group of 10 beads changes color (red and white), you can jump-count by 10s to find larger numbers like 50 or 75 very easily.

Question. Count and write the numbers.
Answer:
Counting the groups of tens and single ones:
* In the first row, there are 4 bundles of ten and 7 loose sticks, which makes 47 sticks.
* In the second row, there are 8 stacks of ten and 3 loose blocks, which makes 83 blocks.
* In the third row, there are 6 ten-frames of ten and 6 loose blocks, which makes 66 blocks.
In simple words: We count the groups of tens first, then add the single ones to write the complete numbers.

Exam Tip: Count the tens first to write the left digit, then count the ones to write the right digit.

Question. Make a slide and ladder game by filling the missing numbers.
Answer:
The grid of the board game goes from 1 to 100. We fill in the missing blocks by counting sequentially:
* 1 to 10 (bottom row, left to right)
* 11 to 20 (second row, right to left: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
* 21 to 30 (third row, left to right: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
* 31 to 40 (fourth row, right to left: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
* 41 to 50 (fifth row, left to right: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
* 51 to 60 (sixth row, right to left: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
* 61 to 70 (seventh row, left to right: 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70)
* 71 to 80 (eighth row, right to left: 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80)
* 81 to 90 (ninth row, left to right: 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90)
* 91 to 100 (top row, right to left: 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100)
In simple words: We fill in all the blank boxes on the snakes and ladders board by counting from 1 all the way up to 100.

Exam Tip: Always check the direction of the arrows or row numbers, as the counting flips direction in every row.
