Worksheet A: Concepts

Easy

Q1. Put these sticks in order from shortest to longest: 3 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm.

Show solution

Answer

1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm.

Solution

Compare each length by value: the smallest is 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. Arrange in ascending order to get 1, 2, 3, 4 cm.

Easy

Q2. Circle the shapes that have straight sides: circle, triangle, rectangle.

Show solution

Easy

Q4. Look at the pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, __. What comes next?

Show solution

Answer

10.

Solution

Answer

Leaf < twig < branch.

Solution

Arrange from shortest to longest using the given descriptors: short → longer → longest.

Average

Q6. A bird hops 2 steps each time. After 5 hops, how many steps?

Show solution

Answer

10 steps.

Visualize stacks of dots: 3, 5, 5, 4. The tallest stacks are 5; count two stacks at height 5.

Challenging

Q10. A caterpillar moves 1 cm, then 2 cm, then 3 cm, increasing by 1 cm each time. Distance in 4 moves? in 5 moves?

Show solution

Answer

4 moves: 10 cm; 5 moves: 15 cm.

Solution

Sum of first n numbers: 1+2+3+4 = 10; add 5 for the fifth move → 15.

Worksheet B: Computational Skills

Easy

Q1. 7 blue pencils and 2 red pencils. How many pencils in all?

Show solution

Answer

9.

Solution

Add 7 + 2 = 9.

Easy

Q2. 5 birds on a branch. 2 fly away. How many remain?

Show solution

Answer

3.

Solution

Easy

Q3. Make 10 using 6. What number is needed?

Show solution

Answer

4.

Solution

Complement to 10: 6 + 4 = 10.

Easy

Q4. Count in 2s from 0 to 10.

Show solution

Answer

0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

Solution

Skip count by adding 2 repeatedly starting at 0.

Average

Q5. 9 + 3 = __. Also find 12 − 3 and 12 − 9.

Show solution

Answer

12; 9; 3.

Solution

Fact family of 9, 3, 12: 9+3=12; 12−3=9; 12−9=3.

Average

Q6. Compare 14 ☐ 11 with >, <, or =.

Show solution

Answer

14 > 11.

Solution

14 is greater because it has more ones past 10.

Average

Q7. Tens and ones: 1 ten and 5 ones equals __.

Show solution

Answer

15.

Solution

1 ten = 10; 10 + 5 = 15.

Average

Q8. Add quickly: 8 + 5 = __ (make 10 first).

Show solution

Answer

13.

Solution

8 + 2 = 10, then +3 = 13.

Challenging

Q9. A notebook costs ₹7. How much for 4 notebooks?
