Let us Do — Hidden Seeds (Magic Trick Table)

Table 1, Row 1Total Seeds = 15, Seeds on the Table = 12. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 15, Seeds on the Table = 12.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

15−12=315 - 12 = 3

Hidden Seeds = 3

Table 1, Row 2Total Seeds = 17, Seeds on the Table = 10. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 17, Seeds on the Table = 10.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

17−10=717 - 10 = 7

Hidden Seeds = 7

Table 1, Row 3Total Seeds = 19, Seeds on the Table = 8. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 19, Seeds on the Table = 8.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

19−8=1119 - 8 = 11

Hidden Seeds = 11

Table 2, Row 1Total Seeds = 20, Seeds on the Table = 9. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 20, Seeds on the Table = 9.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

20−9=1120 - 9 = 11

Hidden Seeds = 11

Table 2, Row 2Total Seeds = 23, Seeds on the Table = 7. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 23, Seeds on the Table = 7.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

23−7=1623 - 7 = 16

Hidden Seeds = 16

Table 2, Row 3Total Seeds = 27, Seeds on the Table = 12. Find the Hidden Seeds.Show solution

Given: Total Seeds = 27, Seeds on the Table = 12.

Concept: Hidden Seeds = Total Seeds − Seeds on the Table

27−12=1527 - 12 = 15

Hidden Seeds = 15

Balushahi Problems

1Nandini had 7 balushahi and Chirag had 5 balushahi. How many do they have in total?Show solution

Given: Nandini's balushahi = 7, Chirag's balushahi = 5.

Concept: Total = Addition of both quantities.

7+5=127 + 5 = 12

Total Balushahi = 12

2Chirag bought the same number of balushahi as Nandini (7 each). Nandini had 7 and Chirag had only 5 left. How many did Chirag eat?Show solution

Given: Chirag originally had 7 balushahi, he now has 5.

Concept: Balushahi eaten = Original amount − Remaining amount.

7−5=27 - 5 = 2

Chirag ate 2 balushahi.

Books Problem

1Chirag got 9 story books and Nandini got 7 puzzle books for Nani Maa. How many total books did the children get?Show solution

Given: Story books = 9, Puzzle books = 7.

Concept: Total books = Addition of both types.

9+7=169 + 7 = 16

Total books = 16

So: 99 Books +7+ 7 Books =16= 16 Books

Let us Do — Tens Frame

(a)6+8=…6 + 8 = \dotsShow solution

Given: 6+86 + 8

Using a tens frame: Place 6 dots in the first frame. Add 8 more dots. Fill the first frame to 10 (needs 4 more from the 8), leaving 8−4=48 - 4 = 4 in the next frame.

6+8=146 + 8 = 14

Answer: 14

(b)5+10=…5 + 10 = \dotsShow solution

Given: 5+105 + 10

Using a tens frame: 5 dots in one frame, add 10 more (a full frame of 10).

5+10=155 + 10 = 15

Answer: 15

(c)9−6=…9 - 6 = \dotsShow solution

Given: 9−69 - 6

Using a tens frame: Start with 9 dots, remove 6 dots.

9−6=39 - 6 = 3

Answer: 3

(d)18−9=…18 - 9 = \dotsShow solution

Given: 18−918 - 9

Using a tens frame: Start with 18 dots (one full frame of 10 and 8 more), remove 9 dots (remove 8 from the second frame and 1 from the first frame).

18−9=918 - 9 = 9

Answer: 9

Stamps Problems

1Nandini and Chirag have 22 stamps. Nani Maa's brother gives them 30 more stamps. How many stamps do they have now?Show solution

2A frog is at 7 on the ginladi. He jumps 10 beads at a time going forward. Mark the beads and write the numbers.Show solution

Given: Starting position = 7, Jump size = 10 (forward).

Step 1: 7+10=177 + 10 = 17
Step 2: 17+10=2717 + 10 = 27
Step 3: 27+10=3727 + 10 = 37
Step 4: 37+10=4737 + 10 = 47
Step 5: 47+10=5747 + 10 = 57
Step 6: 57+10=6757 + 10 = 67
Step 7: 67+10=7767 + 10 = 77
Step 8: 77+10=8777 + 10 = 87
Step 9: 87+10=9787 + 10 = 97

The frog lands on: 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 87, 97.

3The frog jumps forward by 10 each time (starting from 1). Mark all the places where the frog will land.Show solution
