HTO Blocks – People at Community Lunch

1Draw HTO blocks for 52 people, 145 people, 325 people, and 508 people. Also identify the time slot with the most and least number of people.Show solution
52 people:
HTO representation: 0 Hundreds, 5 Tens, 2 Ones
Draw 5 rods (tens) and 2 unit cubes (ones).

145 people:
HTO representation: 1 Hundred, 4 Tens, 5 Ones
Draw 1 flat (hundred), 4 rods (tens), 5 unit cubes (ones).

325 people:
HTO representation: 3 Hundreds, 2 Tens, 5 Ones
Draw 3 flats (hundreds), 2 rods (tens), 5 unit cubes (ones).

508 people:
HTO representation: 5 Hundreds, 0 Tens, 8 Ones
Draw 5 flats (hundreds), 0 rods (tens), 8 unit cubes (ones).

Comparing: 52 < 145 < 325 < 508

The time slot when the most number of people came for lunch: The slot with 508 people.

The time slot when the least number of people came for lunch: The slot with 52 people.

1aMake 3-digit numbers using the digits 3 and 7. Write the numbers in the boxes. Circle the smallest and cross out the largest.Show solution
Given digits: 3 and 7 (repetition allowed for 3-digit numbers)

All possible 3-digit numbers using only 3 and 7:
333,337,373,377,733,737,773,777333, 337, 373, 377, 733, 737, 773, 777

One number is already given as 333.

Arranging in order: 333<337<373<377<733<737<773<777333 < 337 < 373 < 377 < 733 < 737 < 773 < 777

Smallest: Circle 333

Largest: Cross out 777

The four boxes can be filled with any four of the remaining numbers, for example: 337, 373, 733, 773 (answers may vary).

1bMake six 3-digit numbers using the digits 3, 5, 0, 8 such that all numbers are less than 550. You can repeat the digits.Show solution
Given digits: 3, 5, 0, 8 (repetition allowed); condition: number < 550

A 3-digit number less than 550 means it can start with 1–5, but if it starts with 5, the hundreds digit is 5 and tens digit must be less than 5.

Using digits 3, 5, 0, 8:

Six possible numbers less than 550:
1. 300 (3 Hundreds, 0 Tens, 0 Ones)
2. 305 (3 Hundreds, 0 Tens, 5 Ones)
3. 350 (3 Hundreds, 5 Tens, 0 Ones)
4. 383 (3 Hundreds, 8 Tens, 3 Ones)
5. 500 (5 Hundreds, 0 Tens, 0 Ones)
6. 538 (5 Hundreds, 3 Tens, 8 Ones)

*(Answers may vary as long as all six numbers use only digits 3, 5, 0, 8 and are less than 550.)*

1cMark the numbers you made in 1(b) on the number line.Show solution
Using the six numbers from 1(b): 300, 305, 350, 383, 500, 538

On a number line from 300 to 550:
- Mark 300 at the start.
- Mark 305 just after 300 (5 units ahead).
- Mark 350 at the midpoint between 300 and 400.
- Mark 383 between 350 and 400.
- Mark 500 at the 500 position.
- Mark 538 between 500 and 550.

*(Students should draw a number line from 300 to 550 and place dots/marks at each of the six numbers in the correct relative positions.)*

Fill in the Blanks – Number Sequences (Question 2)

2Fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers (number sequences shown in images 3–7).Show solution
Since the images cannot be seen, the general method for filling blanks in number sequences is:

Step 1: Identify the pattern (common difference) by looking at the given numbers.

Step 2: Add or subtract the common difference to find the missing numbers.

Example (a): If the sequence is 100, 200, ___, 400, 500 → common difference = 100 → missing number = 300

Example (b): If the sequence is 10, 20, ___, 40 → common difference = 10 → missing number = 30

Example (c): If the sequence is 500, 510, 520, ___ → common difference = 10 → missing number = 530

Example (d): If the sequence is 990, 995, ___, 1005 → common difference = 5 → missing number = 1000

Example (e): If the sequence is 100, 200, 300, ___, 500 → common difference = 100 → missing number = 400

*(Students should apply the same method to the actual sequences shown in their textbook images.)*

How Many People Came for the Community Lunch

1How many people came for the community lunch? Fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers (based on the Dienes block images).Show solution
Given: The four time slots had 52, 145, 325, and 508 people.

Total number of people:
52+145+325+50852 + 145 + 325 + 508
=197+325+508= 197 + 325 + 508
=522+508= 522 + 508
=1030= 1030

Total people who came for the community lunch = 1030

Fill in the blanks (place value):
