Let us Think — Question 1: Neighbouring Hundreds, Fifties, and Tens

1Write the appropriate numbers between which each of the given numbers lie.

| Number | Neighbouring Hundreds | Neighbouring Fifties | Neighbouring Tens |

| 183 | | | |
| 345 | | | |
| 693 | | | |
| 734 | | | |
| 899 | | | |
Show solution
We find the neighbouring hundreds (multiples of 100), neighbouring fifties (multiples of 50), and neighbouring tens (multiples of 10) for each number.

183:
- Neighbouring Hundreds: 100100 and 200200 (since 100<183<200100 < 183 < 200)
- Neighbouring Fifties: 150150 and 200200 (since 150<183<200150 < 183 < 200)

- Neighbouring Fifties: 300300 and 350350 (since 300<345<350300 < 345 < 350)
- Neighbouring Tens: 340340 and 350350 (since 340<345<350340 < 345 < 350)

693:
- Neighbouring Hundreds: 600600 and 700700 (since 600<693<700600 < 693 < 700)
- Neighbouring Fifties: 650650 and 700700 (since 650<693<700650 < 693 < 700)
- Neighbouring Tens: 690690 and 700700 (since 690<693<700690 < 693 < 700)

734:
- Neighbouring Hundreds: 700700 and 800800 (since 700<734<800700 < 734 < 800)
- Neighbouring Fifties: 700700 and 750750 (since 700<734<750700 < 734 < 750)
- Neighbouring Tens: 730730 and 740740 (since 730<734<740730 < 734 < 740)

899:
- Neighbouring Hundreds: 800800 and 900900 (since 800<899<900800 < 899 < 900)

| 468 | 400 and 500 | 450 and 500 | 460 and 470 |
| 183 | 100 and 200 | 150 and 200 | 180 and 190 |
| 345 | 300 and 400 | 300 and 350 | 340 and 350 |
| 693 | 600 and 700 | 650 and 700 | 690 and 700 |
| 734 | 700 and 800 | 700 and 750 | 730 and 740 |

Let us Think — Question 2: Help Cranes Reach Their Food

2Help cranes reach their food using the number line.

Crane 1:
- To reach the worm: 667 − ___ steps = 650. Length of steps: ___
- To reach the fish: 667 + ___ steps = 700. Length of steps: ___

Crane 2:
- To reach the worm: ___ − ___ steps = 750. Length of steps: ___
- To reach the fish: ___ + ___ steps = 800. Length of steps: ___
Show solution
Crane 1 — To reach the worm (going left/backward):

Given: 667?=650667 - ? = 650

667650=17667 - 650 = 17

So the crane takes 17 steps (each step of length 1), or it can take 1 step of 10 and 1 step of 7, or 1 step of 17.

Answer: 66717=650667 - 17 = 650. Number of steps: 17 (or 2 jumps: first 10, then 7).

---

Crane 1 — To reach the fish (going right/forward):

Given: 667+?=700667 + ? = 700

700667=33700 - 667 = 33

So the crane takes 33 steps, or it can take 1 step of 30 and 1 step of 3, or 1 step of 33.

Answer: 667+33=700667 + 33 = 700. Number of steps: 33 (or 2 jumps: first 30, then 3).

---

Crane 2 — To reach the worm (going left/backward):

The crane is standing at some number and needs to reach 750. Based on the number line context (the second crane appears to be near 780):

Given: 780?=750780 - ? = 750

780750=30780 - 750 = 30

Answer: 78030=750780 - 30 = 750. Number of steps: 30.

*(Note: The exact starting position of Crane 2 depends on the figure. If the crane stands at 780, then 30 steps back reaches 750.)*

---

Crane 2 — To reach the fish (going right/forward):

Given: 780+?=800780 + ? = 800

800780=20800 - 780 = 20

Answer: 780+20=800780 + 20 = 800. Number of steps: 20.

Tambola — Question 3

3Fill the grid with numbers between 570 and 630. Strike out all the numbers which match the clues below.

Clues:
1. 597
2. A number with 4
3. Numbers between 595 and 605
4. A number with 1 as the tens digit
5. Two more than 610
6. 5 less than 625

Grid:
| 572 | 628 | 579 | 599 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 597 | 574 | 581 | 600 |
| 623 | 573 | 570 | 602 |
| 609 | 616 | 614 | 626 |
Show solution
Let us apply each clue to the grid:

Clue 1: 597
- Strike out: 597

Clue 2: A number with digit 4
- Numbers in grid containing digit 4: 574, 614
- Strike out: 574, 614

Clue 3: Numbers between 595 and 605
- Numbers strictly between 595 and 605: 596, 597, 598, 599, 600, 601, 602, 603, 604
- Numbers in grid: 599, 597 (already struck), 600, 602
- Strike out: 599, 600, 602 ✓ (597 already done)

Clue 4: A number with 1 as the tens digit
- Tens digit = 1 means numbers like _1_: 610–619
- Numbers in grid: 616, 614 (already struck)
- Strike out: 616

Clue 5: Two more than 610
- 610+2=612610 + 2 = 612
- 612 is not in the given grid, so no number to strike out from the grid for this clue.

Clue 6: 5 less than 625
- 6255=620625 - 5 = 620
- 620 is not in the given grid, so no number to strike out from the grid for this clue.

Summary of numbers struck out from the grid:
- Clue 1: 597
- Clue 2: 574, 614
- Clue 3: 599, 600, 602
- Clue 4: 616

Total numbers struck out: 7 (597, 574, 614, 599, 600, 602, 616)

Let us Do — Number Sentences and Puzzles

1Write number sentences for the numbers in the centre. (The centre numbers shown in the figures are 456 and 321 — based on typical examples for this activity.)Show solution
Note: The exact centre numbers depend on the figures which are not fully visible. The method is shown below using examples.

Example for 456:
456=400+50+6456 = 400 + 50 + 6
456=400+56456 = 400 + 56
456=450+6456 = 450 + 6
456=4604456 = 460 - 4
456=50044456 = 500 - 44

Example for 321:
321=300+20+1321 = 300 + 20 + 1
321=300+21321 = 300 + 21
321=320+1321 = 320 + 1
321=3309321 = 330 - 9
321=40079321 = 400 - 79

Write as many number sentences as you can for the number given in the centre of your figure.

2Write numbers in the blank spaces such that they meet the conditions shown in the figures.Show solution
Note: The exact conditions depend on the figures. The general method is:

- Read the condition carefully (e.g., 'greater than 500 and less than 600').
- Think of numbers that satisfy all the given conditions.
- Write those numbers in the blank spaces.

Example: If the condition is: greater than 400, less than 500, has 3 in the tens place:
- Possible answers: 430, 431, 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439

Fill in numbers that satisfy all the conditions shown in your figure.

The Number Detective

1Look at the hundreds: 100, 200, 300. Can you find all the hundreds up to 1000?
2Some numbers are special: 789, 345, 123. What is special about them? Jojo wonders why they're so neat. Teji says 876 and 321 too have the same beat!
3Numbers that repeat, such as 11, 22, 33 have twin digits. While 111, 222, 333 are triplet digits. Can you find more such numbers that follow the pattern?
4Here are numbers that look the same from left to right and right to left: 353, 868. Write other such numbers.
5Teji likes numbers with zeroes. She knows numbers like 210, 404, and 800. Write more such numbers.

1I have 6 blank paper slips. I can write 100, 10 or 1 on each of them. What numbers can I make with these 6 slips? Six slips with 100 written on each = Six hundred (600).
2What is the largest number that can be made using 6 slips (each labelled 100, 10, or 1)? What is the smallest number that can be made? Are there numbers which cannot be made?

My Numbers — Using Digits 3 and 8

1Take the digits 3 and 8 and make as many 2-digit or 3-digit numbers as you can. You can repeat the digits.
