Fun with Numbers (Numbers 21 to 99)

1Simran was putting oranges in boxes. Each box can hold 10 oranges. How many boxes would she need? Do you know how many oranges are there?Show solution
Given: Each box holds 10 oranges. Simran packs all the oranges into boxes of 10.

Concept: Grouping by tens helps us count large numbers easily.

Working: When we group oranges in sets of 10 and place them in boxes, each full box = 10 oranges. We count the number of full boxes and any oranges left over.

For example, if there are 2 full boxes and 3 oranges left over:
2 tens+3 ones=23 oranges2 \text{ tens} + 3 \text{ ones} = 23 \text{ oranges}

She would need as many boxes as there are complete groups of 10 oranges, plus any remaining oranges stay outside a full box.

Answer: Count the boxes shown in the picture. Each box = 10 oranges. Add the leftover oranges to find the total. (Students count the picture and write the number.)
2Write numbers 21 to 30.Show solution
Given: We need to write numbers from 21 to 30 in order.

Concept: Numbers 21 to 30 each have 2 tens and ones from 1 to 0.

Working:
21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,3021, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30

In words:
- 2121 — Twenty One
- 2222 — Twenty Two
- 2323 — Twenty Three
- 2424 — Twenty Four
- 2525 — Twenty Five
- 2626 — Twenty Six
- 2727 — Twenty Seven
- 2828 — Twenty Eight
- 2929 — Twenty Nine
- 3030 — Thirty

Answer: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
3Count the number of flowers and the number of neem daatun. Write the numbers.Show solution
Given: Pictures of flowers and neem daatun (twigs) are shown.

Concept: Count each group carefully one by one.

Working: Count all the flowers shown in the picture and write the number. Count all the neem daatun shown and write the number.

Answer: Students count the objects in the picture and write the corresponding numbers. (The answer depends on the picture; students write the counted number in the space provided.)
4Numbers 31 to 50 — Fill in the missing numbers and their names in the table: 31 Thirty One, 32 Thirty Two, 35 Thirty Five, 36 Thirty Six, 39 Thirty Nine, 40 Forty. Fill in the remaining numbers from 31 to 50.Show solution
Given: Some numbers between 31 and 50 are given; we must fill in the rest.

Concept: Numbers 31 to 50 follow a pattern — tens digit stays the same while ones digit increases from 1 to 9, then the tens digit increases by 1.

Working — Complete list from 31 to 50:
- 3131 — Thirty One
- 3232 — Thirty Two
- 3333 — Thirty Three
- 3434 — Thirty Four
- 3535 — Thirty Five
- 3636 — Thirty Six
- 3737 — Thirty Seven
- 3838 — Thirty Eight
- 3939 — Thirty Nine
- 4040 — Forty
- 4141 — Forty One
- 4242 — Forty Two
- 4343 — Forty Three
- 4444 — Forty Four
- 4545 — Forty Five
- 4646 — Forty Six
- 4747 — Forty Seven
- 4848 — Forty Eight
- 4949 — Forty Nine
- 5050 — Fifty

Answer: Write each number and its name as listed above.
5Let 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.Show solution
Given: Number cards from 1 to 50 and a ginladi (number line/string).

Concept: A ginladi is a number line. Numbers are placed in order from smallest to largest.

Working:
A. Pick any card, for example card showing 3737. On the ginladi, find the position between 3636 and 3838 and clip the card there.

B. Look at the cards already placed on the ginladi and write their numbers in the spaces provided.

Answer: Place each number card at its correct position on the ginladi in increasing order (1, 2, 3, … 50). Write the number shown on each placed card.
6Count and write the numbers (shown by pictures/objects in the book).Show solution
Given: Pictures of objects grouped in tens and ones.

Concept: Count the tens first, then count the ones, and combine.
Number=(number of tens×10)+number of ones\text{Number} = (\text{number of tens} \times 10) + \text{number of ones}

Working: For each picture, count the full groups of 10 (tens) and the remaining single objects (ones), then write the total.

Example: If there are 3 groups of 10 and 4 single objects:
3×10+4=343 \times 10 + 4 = 34

Answer: Students count the objects in each picture and write the number in the space provided.
7Fill up the tens frames to show the number. One has already been done for you. Numbers given: 29 (Twenty Nine), 41 (Forty One), 30 (Thirty).Show solution
Given: Numbers 29, 41, and 30. We must fill tens frames to represent each number.

Concept: A tens frame holds 10 dots. We use as many full frames as there are tens, and fill the remaining dots in the next frame for the ones.

Working:

(i) 2929 = 22 tens ++ 99 ones
→ Fill 2 complete tens frames (10 dots each) + 1 frame with 9 dots filled.

(ii) 4141 = 44 tens ++ 11 one
→ Fill 4 complete tens frames + 1 frame with only 1 dot filled.

(iii) 3030 = 33 tens ++ 00 ones
→ Fill exactly 3 complete tens frames, no extra dots.

Answer:
- 2929: 2 full frames + 9 dots in the third frame.
- 4141: 4 full frames + 1 dot in the fifth frame.
- 3030: 3 full frames exactly.
8Fill up the missing numbers (number line / sequence activity).Show solution
Given: A sequence of numbers with some blanks to fill.

Concept: Numbers follow a fixed order. Each number is 1 more than the previous number.

Working: Identify the numbers before and after each blank, then write the number that comes in between.

Example: If the sequence shows 24,_,2624, \_, 26, the missing number is 2525.

Answer: Fill each blank with the correct number that fits the sequence in order. (Students complete the number line by writing the missing numbers.)
9Project Work — Farha said that she has packed more than fifty amazing things in her matchbox. Can you collect some items and see how many a matchbox can hold?Show solution
Given: A matchbox is used to collect small items.

Concept: Counting objects and comparing with the number 50.

Working:
1. Take an empty matchbox.
2. Collect very small items such as seeds, small pebbles, grains of rice, or tiny beads.
3. Fill the matchbox with these items.
4. Take them out and count them carefully, grouping in tens.
5. Write the total number.
6. Check: Is the number more than 50, equal to 50, or less than 50?

Answer: Students do this activity and write the number of items they collected. They compare their number with 50 and discuss with friends.
10Count and write the numbers from 51 to 60.Show solution
