NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Maths Chapter 4: We the Travellers — II

What this chapter teaches.
Adding and subtracting larger numbers (often 4-digit) with regrouping (carrying over and borrowing); solving multi-step word problems involving fuel costs, ticket prices, souvenir shopping, and mountain-trip expenses; estimating totals before calculating exactly; and spotting even-odd number patterns along the way.

Activity 1 — Plan a Road Trip.
Children are given distances and fuel costs for a journey and must add up the total cost, practising multi-digit addition with regrouping.

Activity 2 — Shopping for Souvenirs.
Given a budget and a list of souvenir prices, children add up costs and subtract from the budget to find what’s left, practising both operations together.

Activity 3 — Mountain Climb Word Problems.
Problems about climbing to a certain height and coming back down combine addition, subtraction, and estimation skills.

Real-world money and distance problems like these are exactly the kind of multi-step reasoning children will use throughout school and daily life.
