Chapter 7, Lina’s Family, uses a family setting to introduce simple addition and subtraction. These questions revisit adding and taking away small numbers.

Practice Questions

Q1. Lina has 4 family members at home, and 3 relatives visit. How many people are there now?
4 + 3 = 7 people.

Q2. If 2 people leave after the visit, how many are left at home?
7 − 2 = 5 people.

Q3. Write an addition sentence for “3 plus 5”.
3 + 5 = 8.

Q4. Write a subtraction sentence for “9 take away 4”.
9 − 4 = 5.

Q5. A family has 5 members. 2 more join, then 1 leaves. How many are there finally?
5 + 2 = 7, then 7 − 1 = 6 members finally.

Why These Help

Word problems about a family connect the abstract idea of adding and taking away numbers to real situations children already understand, like people joining or leaving a gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why do word problems about families help in learning addition and subtraction?
They connect adding and taking away numbers to everyday situations children can picture, which makes the operations easier to understand than numbers alone.
