Chapter 6, Vegetable Farm, helps young learners sort objects into groups and work with numbers up to 20. These questions revisit sorting and counting in tens and ones.
Practice Questions
Q1. Sort these into two groups — vegetables and fruits: potato, mango, carrot, apple.
Vegetables: potato, carrot. Fruits: mango, apple.
Q2. A farm has 12 tomato plants and 8 brinjal plants. How many plants are there in total?
12 + 8 = 20 plants in total.
Q3. Write the number that comes just before 15.
14.
Q4. Write the number that comes just after 19.
20.
Q5. If you have 1 ten and 5 ones, what number is this?
15.
Why These Help
Sorting things into groups teaches children to notice what objects have in common, which is the first step toward organising, counting and comparing larger sets of objects, including numbers themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is sorting things into groups a useful skill in maths?
Sorting builds the habit of noticing shared properties among objects, which later helps children organise and count larger and more complex sets of numbers.
