These extra practice questions for Class 1 Maths Chapter 1: Finding the Furry Cat! give children more practice with position words (inside, outside, under, on, above, beside, top, bottom) beyond the textbook’s own activities. These are original practice questions, not reproductions of the NCERT textbook’s picture-based activities.

How to Use These Extra Questions
Ask these questions out loud and have the child answer in a full sentence using the position word (for example, “The ball is under the bed”), rather than a one-word answer — this builds the sentence-level language skill the chapter is aiming for. For the full concept walkthrough, see the Class 1 Maths Chapter 1 Solutions, or the Revision Notes for a quick summary.
