NCERT Solutions for Class 1 Maths Chapter 13: So Many Toys
What this chapter teaches.
Counting and grouping toys by type (cars, dolls, blocks); comparing groups using “more than”, “less than”, and “equal to”; and simple addition/subtraction with toys as the objects, reinforcing everything learned across the book.
Activity 1 — Sort and Count the Toys.
Children are shown a mixed set of toys and asked to group them by type and count how many are in each group.
Activity 2 — Compare the Groups.
After counting, children compare two groups of toys and say which group has more, which has less, or whether the groups are equal.
Activity 3 — Add and Take Away Toys.
The chapter revisits addition and subtraction (from Chapters 5 and 6) using toy scenarios, such as combining two groups of toys or giving some toys away and counting what’s left.
Why This Chapter Matters
As the closing chapter, So Many Toys pulls together counting, sorting, comparing, and addition/subtraction — the core skills built across the whole book — into simple data-handling activities, which is a preview of the bar-graph and tally-mark work children will do in later classes.
How to Use These Solutions
Sort a child’s own toy collection at home by type, count each group, and compare which group has more or fewer — this mirrors the chapter’s activities exactly and reinforces a full year of Class 1 Maths concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is “data handling” at the Class 1 level?
Simply grouping objects, counting each group, and comparing the groups (more/less/equal) — the earliest, most informal introduction to the idea, well before graphs or tables appear in later classes.
Is this the last chapter in Class 1 Maths?
Yes — So Many Toys is Chapter 13, the final chapter of the current Joyful Mathematics textbook.
