1 Knowing Our Numbers
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
read and write numerals beyond ten lakhs.
arrange the digits of the given numerals in the place value chart.
read and write numerals according to the Indian and International Systems of
Numeration.
compare numerals in Indian as well as the International Systems of Numeration.
estimate large numbers, and estimate the sum, difference, product and quotient.
convert larger units of length and mass to smaller units and vice versa.
express Hindu -Arabic numerals as Roman numerals and vice versa.
Concept Building
• Students are already familiar with the large numbers.
• Read the Introduction section to recapitulate these concepts.
• Explain students the difference between natural numbers and whole numbers and let
them understand that all natural numbers are whole numbers but all whole numbers are
not natural numbers hence focusing on exception of zero.
Extension of Numbers; Indian System of numeration (Place value, face value, expanded
form); International System of numeration (Place value, face value, expanded form)
• Make the students understand the difference between the terms notation and numeration.
• Have a quick recap of the Indian and International system of numeration and the common
place values in both that is up to 5 places. Make the students understand that after the
5th place the places in both the systems are called by different names. Emphasise the use
of commas in both the systems at different places in both the systems and how to read
the numbers in both the systems.
• Students have already learnt place value and face value up to 8-digit numbers in their
previous class so just a quick recall and then extension of the concept towards bigger
number is required.
• To reinforce ask them to do the Exercise 1.1 from the textbook.
5
Formation of Numbers With the Given Digits; Comparison of Numbers
• Read the related sections from the textbook.
• Explain students that largest number using given number of digits is formed by arranging
the given digits in descending order and smallest number using given digits is formed
by arranging the digits in ascending order for example if they have to use the digits
9,8,5,1,2,6,7,4,3,0 to make the largest and the smallest number using all digits, then the
largest number will be 987653210 and smallest number will be 1023456789 (without
repeating any digit).
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand how to form numbers
with the given digits.
• To reinforce ask the students to do the related Try These section from the textbook.
• Rules of comparing numbers needs to be clarify with respect to bigger numbers.
• After making them understand comparison of numbers conduct the an activity with
students where they will reinforce ascending and descending orders.
• Bring 10 cm X 10 cm pieces of thick chart paper/cardboard of different colours, one big
chart paper to the class.
• Cut out 10 cm X 10 cm pieces of thick chart paper/cardboard of different colours (one
for each student).
• Divide the class into five groups and give different coloured chartpaper/cardboard pieces
to each group. For example group A gets green, group B red and so on.
• Give a certain range of numbers to each group for example, group A gets 100-1000,
group B gets 1000-10000 and so on.
• Each member writes any number of his/her choice that falls within the specified range
on the piece of chart paper in figures and in words.
• On a big chart paper, draw 10 cm X 10 cm squares (as many squares as the number of
students) in five columns. Students of group A will then go and paste their slips (with the
written numbers) in their column in ascending order.
• Students of other groups will also follow the steps taken by group A.
• This will continue till all squares are filled with multicoloured pieces.
• Use examples given in the textbook to make them understand the concept in a better
way.
• Instruct the students to do the Exercise 1.2 from the textbook.
Operations on Large Numbers; Introducing Brackets
• Read the related sections from the textbook.
6
• Students have enough understanding of bigger numbers now so make them understand
the application of bigger numbers in real life.
• Make students attempt some more real life applications of bigger numbers for example
conversion of units of length, weight and capacity, etc. and the word problems based on
the same.
• Make them practise the four operations involving bigger numbers.
• Define Brackets are symbols used in pairs to group things together.
• It is used around the part of an expression that is need to be done first.
• To reinforce ask the students to do the related Try These section and Exercise 1.3 from
the textbook.
Estimation ; Estimating sum, difference, product and quotient; Large Numbers and
Small Numbers in practice; Roman numbers
• Explain the method of rounding off numbers to their nearest tens, hundreds and
thousands and explain students that we can also estimate the sum, difference, products
and quotients by first rounding off the numbers involved and then rounding them off.
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand the concept of
estimation in a better way.
• Explain the relation between bigger units and smaller units of measurement.
• Use the Remember section to point out the important facts related to topics.
• Students have learnt enough about the 7 symbols of the Roman system and the different
rules to form the same. Have a revision of their understanding so far by giving them
some numbers and asking them to convert them into Roman numerals and vice versa.
Now make them understand the meaning and usage of the bar used in Roman numbers
by illustrating a few examples on the board.
• Use examples related to the topics to make them understand the topics in a better way.
• To reinforce ask the students to do the Values sections from the textbook.
• Ask the students to do Exercise 1.4, Exercise 1.5 and Exercise 1.6 from the textbook.
To revise the concepts learnt in the chapter students will do Let’s Revise, Let’s Link, Life

Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
differentiate between natural and whole numbers.
represent natural and whole numbers on a number line.
add, subtract, multiply and divide the whole numbers on the number line.
understand and verify properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division of whole numbers.
Concept Building
• Students are already familiar with the natural numbers and can apply the basic operations
on these.
• Read the introduction to recapitulate the concepts like successor, predecessor, etc.
• Tell them counting numbers are called Natural Numbers, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 .....
• Discuss the need for Whole Numbers and also the difference between the two, i.e., the
natural numbers and whole numbers.
• Also make them understand the fact that every natural number is a whole number but
every whole number is not a natural number, i.e., 0 is not a natural number but 1, 2, 3,
4, .... are natural numbers.
• To point out the important facts about numbers use Remember section.
Representation of Whole Numbers on a Number Line
• Plotting whole numbers on the number line will give a better understanding about the
whole number.
• Following points can be discussed.
– 0 is the smallest whole number is 0.
– There is no largest whole number.
– Number line is also very useful in discussing order property of whole numbers,
addition of whole numbers, subtraction of whole number, multiplication and
division of whole numbers.
10
Properties of Whole Numbers
• Use the examples of the related section to make them understand the above concepts.
• Instruct them to do Exercise 2.1 from the book.
Activity
• Bring 3 paper plates and some counters. Call any three students from the class and
instruct them to pack out some counters and put them each of the two trays and also say
whether the numbers are whole numbers or not. Now, ask third student to collect all the
counters and count in front of the class. Announce the final number. Now ask students
whether this number is whole number or not? Now explain that the sum of two whole
numbers is always a whole number. This property of whole numbers is called the closure
property of addition of whole numbers.
4+ 6= 10
+ = = +
I II A III IV
• Ask two of them to place 3 counters in plate I and 4 counters in plate 2.
Another two students to place 4 counters in plate III and 3 counters in plate IV.
One more student comes and counts the number of counters in plate I and II, i.e., 7 and
puts equal number (7) of counters in plate A. Now counts the total number of counter
in plate III and IV, i.e., 7. Check whether counters in plate I and II is same as in plate III
and IV is also same as in plate A.
• Now explain to them that during addition if we change the order of whole numbers then
also the sum remains the same. This properly is called commutative property of addition
of whole numbers.
• Students are already familiar with the four basic operations, i.e., addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division etc.
• Now to discuss the properties of these operation use examples given in the section using
graphs and paper cutting.
• To reinforce commutative property of addition of whole numbers use Maths Lab Activity
given on page 37.

• To reinforce addition and subtraction ask them to do the Life skills section to on
page 34.
• To reinforce multiplication of whole numbers use Values section given on page 37.
• Instruct them to do Exercise 2.2 given on page 34.
Patterns
• Students are already familiar with the concept of patterns. They already know that
patterns can be any design.
• Patterns follow certain rules like they are symmetrice, repetitive, etc.
• Discuss some number patterns.
• To reinforce discuss Let’s Link section given on page 38.
• Instruct the students to do Exercise 2.3 given on page 34.
To revise the concepts learnt in the chapter students will do Let’s Revise and Hots sections

3 Playing with Numbers
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
simplify a given expression involving two or more operations.
simplify a given expressions using DMAS, ODMAS and BODMAS rules.
recognise and find multiples, divisors, factors of a number.
find and state various types of numbers, i.e., prime and composite, even and odd,
etc.
test divisibility by numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, etc., using divisibility
rules and not by actual division.
Concept Building
• Students are already familiar with the whole numbers, properties of a addition,
subtraction, multiplication and divisor and can apply the basic operations with the whole
numbers.
• Read the introduction section to recapitulate those concepts.
Simplification, DMAS
• Take different questions, show the students while solving such problems which involve
the four operations can give us different answers.
For example write the questions given below on the white/blackboard.
Discuss the different ways in which it can be solved
20 ÷ 5 + 30 + 45 – 6
Answer (i). 20 ÷ 35 + 45 – 6 Answer (ii). 20 ÷ 5 + 75 – 6
= 20 ÷ 74 = 4 + 75 – 6
20 10
= = = 73
74 37
Answer (iii). 20 ÷ 80 – 6
20 1 1 – 24
= –6= –6=
80 4 4
• Now stress upon the fact that why we get different answers.
15
Thus, we see there is a need for a convention regarding the order of operations so that
everyone follows the same order.
The convention is DMAS
D M A S
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand the concept in a
better way.
• Ask the students to do the Exercise 3.1 from the text book.
Using the Operation ‘of ’; Using Brackets
• The operation ‘Of ’ means multiplication. If ‘of ’ appears then order of operation is
‘ODMAS’.
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand the concept in a
better way.
• Ask students to do the ‘Try These’ section and Exercise 3.2.
Similarly if a bracket also appears then the rule is
B O D M A S
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Bracket ‘of ’ Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
open
Example: (15 ÷ 5 + 3) × 9 – 16
= (3 + 3) × 9 – 16 = 6 × 9 – 16 = 54 – 16 = 38
• There are many types of brackets. We need to follow a convention in the order of brackets
as well.
{{(–)}}
Write an expression involving all the bracket. Ask the students to solve and discuss the
different answers they get. Now discuss the correct order of brackets.
• Instruct students to do the Exercise 3.3.
This will help students to understand the use of rule properly.
Factors and multiples; Common factors and multiples
• Students are already familiar with multiples and factors. Pick up a number say 48.
Its factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48. Some of the factors are prime factors,
e.g. 2 and 3 while others are composite numbers, except 1.
• Discuss the facts about factors given on page 44 with examples.
16
Discuss multiple of a number and facts about multiples with examples given on page 44
and 45. Examples given on page 45 and 46 will help in the better understanding of the
fact.
• Discuss common factors and multiples of a number.
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand the concept in a
better way.
• Ask students to do Exercise 3.4 given on page 46.
Activity
• Multiples can also be introduced using the 10 × 10 square grid with the first 100 natural
numbers.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80
81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90
91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
• Provide such 10 × 10 square grid to each student.
• Ask them to colour every 3rd number on the grid. First number to be coloured is 3. For
example, 3, 6, 9, 12, .... .
• Now discuss that all the numbers that we have coloured are the multiples of 3.
• Now, write another number on the board say 5 and multiply this with each number from
1 to 10 to obtain 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
• Now, explain that all the numbers obtained are the multiples of 5. Then explain that this
way we can obtain any number of multiples of any number. Also, the product that we
obtain after multiplying like 5 × 1 =5, 5 × 2 = 10, 5 × 3 = 15, etc. Products, 5, 10, 15, etc.,
are called the multiples of 5.
• In the above table the students can be asked to make multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
in different colours.
• Now point out the fact that some numbers will have two or more colours, e.g., 6 will have
3 colours means it is a multiple of 3 numbers 2, 3 and 6; 12 will have 4 colours, etc. So,
there will be many numbers which are multiples of more than one number.
17
• This exercise will be helpful in making them understand that a number can be a multiple
of more than one number.
• Now, discuss the fact that 12 is a multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. 2, 4, 3, 6 and 12 are called
the factors of 12.
• Stress upon the fact that the number 1 is a factor of every number. Every number is a
factor of itself.
• Life skills on page 52 can be used to reinforce the concept of multiples.
Types of Numbers
• Explain the concept of even and odd numbers with examples given on page 46.
• Remember section can be used to discuss properties of even numbers given on page 46.
• To reinforce ask them to do the section Let’s Link given on page 53.
Prime Number
• In the square grid activity students have already marked the numbers with one coloured
line. This explain that such numbers have only two factors, i.e., 1 and the number itself.
Such numbers are called prime numbers.
Perfect Number
• To explain the concept of perfect numbers from the same grid ask them to pick numbers
like 6, 7, 8. Now ask them to list all the factors of these numbers and find the sum of these
factors.
6: 1, 2, 3, 6 and 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12 = 2 × 6
7: 1, 7 1+7=8=2×4
8: 1, 2, 4, 8 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15 ≠ 2 × 8
The number with sum of factors equal to twice the number such a number is called a
perfect number.
Now as ask them to list all the perfect numbers till 100.
• Use examples given in the related section to make the understand the concept in a better
way.
Activity
• This simple activity linking mathematics with GK can be done. Ask students to get a day
old news paper and pick one news item each of their interest from even pages odd pages
composite, prime and perfect number pages.
• Students can be asked to do Exercise 3.5 on page 48.
18
Divisibility Tests for Numbers
• To introduce general rules of divisibility use pages 48, 49, and 50.
Game
• For better retention this game can be played in class.
• Cut equilateral 9 triangles of different zones and paste them as shown here.

• Write numbers on flags and ask them to pin the flag in that triangle with a number with
which it is divisible.
General Properties of Divisibility
• Discuss the properties given on page 50 and 51 with the class.
• Along with these properties following parts can also be discussed.
— No perfect number is odd.
— What are prime, twin prime and co-prime numbers.
— 1 is neither a prime number nor composite.
— 2 is the smallest composite number.
• For further reinforcement discuss Hots given on page 53.
• Use Maths Lab Activity on page 53 for revising different kinds of numbers.
To revise the concepts learnt in the chapter students will do Let’s Revise section given on
page 52.
Multiple Choice Questions on page 51 and Testing Zone on page 54 can be used for
conducting oral quiz in the class. Crossword and riddle on page 54 will serve dual purpose
of revising the concept, learnt as well as students will have fun in doing these and this with
in turn help them to retain the concept better.
Use Let’s Recap section to revise the key points of the concepts.

Concept Building
• Before talking about HCF and LCM recall factors and multiples, prime numbers, prime
factors, etc. For better understanding of prime factors you can use a small game of
building blocks. Take a building made up of blocks. How ask the students to break it till
the time all pieces of the different sizes fall apart.
• Once they have done to ask them to further divide into pieces. They can’t. Now introduce
the concept of prime factorisation.
Prime Factorisation
• Prime factorisation is performed to break a given number 96
into factors which cannot be divided any further. In
other words we may say that Prime factorisation is the
4 24
way of expressing a given number as a product of prime
numbers. 2 2 2 12
• Now explain the different methods of prime factorisation.
• For this use pages 55 and 56 from the book where these 2 6
methods are well explained with examples.
2 3
• Encircled numbers are prime numbers, which means
that cannot be divided further more.
• Instruct students to do Exercise 4.1 given on page 56.
22
HCF and LCM
• First take up problems from real life situations where LCM and HCF are used. Some
such situations are given at the end of this chapter. Pick up some of these and try and
solve them using basic principles of mathematics before even talking about HCF and
LCM. This will help them in retaining the concept better. Sometimes they don’t even
know the difference between the two.
• It is very important to give them a clear understanding of the two.
• They should know that HCF is a factor and LCM is a multiple.
HCF
• Discuss the following points that HCF is a factor.
• A factor cannot be greater than a number.
• A common factor of two or more numbers cannot be bigger than the smallest number.
Let us consider the numbers 5, 10, 15 and their HCF is 5
• HCF of two or more numbers is always greater than or equal to 1.
• Though HCF means the greatest or the highest factor but a greater or a highest factor
cannot be smaller than 1 but it can be 1. For example HCF of 4 and 9 is 1.
• Use page 57 and 58 for discussing different methods of finding HCF.
• To point out some important facts about HCF use remember section given on page 57.
• To reinforce ask students to do the related Try These section given on page 58.
• Exercise 4.2 on page 59 can be discussed partially in class and partially student may be
asked to attempt it.
• To reinforce the concepts learnt use the section Maths Lab Activity given on page 64-65
and Hots section given on page 66.
LCM
• Again take some real life situations to introduce LCM before this discuss the need. Discuss
that there are a lot of things around us that repeat themselves after a definite interval. For
example train, traffic lights, ringing of bells in school, etc. Many such problems can be
solved using factors and multiples.
• Let us suppose you are decorating your class for Christmas. For this you went to market
to buy some decoratives. You notice that balloons are available in a packing of 9 and stars
in the packs of 4 each. You are interested in buying both items in equal amounts. How
will you calculate this. Have a discussion in class.
• Let everybody speak and when they come up with solutions listen to them and correct
them or help them in reaching the corrects solution.
23
• To discuss methods of finding LCM use pages 59 and 60. Examples on pages 60 and 61
will further help in better understanding of the book.
• Students can be asked to use Exercise 4.3 given on page 61.
• For further reinforcement use the sections Life Skills, Values given on page 64 and the
section Hots given on page 66.
Properties of HCF and LCM of given Numbers
• Use page 62 for discussing properties of HCF and LCM.
• Use examples given in the related section to make them understand the concepts in a
better way.
• Instruct them to do Exercise 4.4 from the text book.
To revise the concepts learnt in the chapter students should do Let’s Revise and Testing
Zone sections from the text book.
Use Multiple Choice Questions to conduct a quiz contest in the class.
Use Let’s Recap section given on page 64 to revise the key points of the concepts.

5 Integers
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
understand the need and meaning of integers.
understand the use of integers in different (opposite) situations.
represent integers on the number line.
compare integers and order integers.
add and subtract integers.
Concept Building
• Start with introduction to recapitulate the need of whole numbers and also the fact that
every natural number is a whole number but the whole number 0 is not a natural number.
Lead this discussion to the need for the Integers.
Integers
• Discuss what are integers. Stress upon the fact that every natural number and every
whole number is also an integer. The integer 0 is neither –ve nor +ve.
• Use Remember section to point out important facts related to the topic.
• While discussing the table given on page 68 make sure to clear the misunderstanding
about the height, depth and profit or loss etc. As we tend to believe that depth and loss are
negative while height and profit are positive. In mathematics this + and – just denotes the
opposite nature of the two. So +`60 and –`60 represent the same quantity or magnitude.
Only difference of that positive and negative sign. These signs only denote the opposite
direction of each other, i.e., if – denotes left
+ denotes right
or – denotes right
+ denotes left
Similarly + denotes profit
– denotes loss
or – denotes profit
+ denotes loss etc.
27
• Use examples given on page 68 to clear the above concept.
• Instruct them to do Exercise 5.1 from the textbook.
• To recapitulate use the section Life Skills given on page 76 and the section Hots given
on page 79.
Representation of Integers on a Number Line
Ordering of integers

of integers on the number line. This will help them understand the placement of integers
on the number line clearly.
–4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
• Do example given on page 69.
• Opposite of an integer can be explained with the help of a mirror and a number line as
shown on the page 69.

Concept Building
• Introduction on Page 80 will help in recalling the literal meaning of fraction and use
basic definition of fractions.
• Fraction a sa part of a whole; fraction as a part of a group; fraction as a divison;
Types of fractions
• While discussing the point that fractions are formed when a whole is divided into equal
parts. Focus on the point that words equal divisions are very important. 4 means that
9
the whole is divided into 9 equal parts and out of these 9 equal parts 4 are taken into
considerations.
• Discuss fraction as a part of a group or collection.
• The total number of divisions the whole is divided into is called the denominator and
the number of parts considered is called the numerator.
• To recapitulate use the section Hots, question 1 on page 95.
• Take the example of the number of students in a class as a whole (i.e., a single unit). Now
ask students to find the fraction for the number of boys and strength of the class and
number of girles and the stregtn of the class.

8 Introductory Algebra
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
understand and define variables, constants and algebraic expressions.
understand how to frame algebraic expressions.
define and explain the terms, coefficient, monomial, binomial, trinomial and
polynomial
evaluate an algebraic expression.
Concept Building
• Students are already familiar with the natural numbers, whole numbers, decimal numbers
and can apply operations on numbers and can simplify arithmetic expressions.
• Read the related sections to recapitulate these concepts.
Variables; Algebraic Expressions; Algebra as Generalisation
• This is first time students are being introduced to literal numbers. Use page 115 for this.
Major mistake in this is that they may think that ‘a’ is smaller than its successor ‘b’ and
‘a’ is the smallest while ‘z’ is the greatest number. Just like is the case in whole numbers.
• You need to make them understand this that a literal number, i.e., a, b, c, x, y or z is
a variable taking different values depending upon the situation or problem but in a
particular problem the literal number has the same value.
• For writing and framing of algebraic expressions use examples given on page 116.
• Ask the students to do Exercise 8.1 given on page 117.
Operations on variables and constants
• Let the cost of a pencil be ‘a’ rupees. If we buy 8 pencils or 9 pencils, the value of ‘h’ can
be found similarly. Thus 8a and 9a are like terms and can be added to get 17a. If the cost
of 1 pen be ‘b’ then the cost of 5 pens is 5b. Cost of 9 pencils and 5 pens is 9a + 5b. Since
‘a’ and ‘b’ have different values so the terms 9a and 5b are different so they are unlike
terms and hence cannot be added and their sum remains 9a + 5b. Same is the case in
subtraction 4a – 2a = 2a but 4a – 2a cannot be finished. Thus, only like terms can be
added and subtracted.
• Make sure that they understand the difference between like and unlike terms.
42
• Instruct them to do the Exercise 8.2.
• For reinforcement use Life Skills question 1 given on page 124 and Hots given on
page 125.
Evaluating an algebraic expression
• Use examples given on page 122 for teaching the concept of evaluation of an algebraic
expression.
• For reinforcement of the concept learnt use the section Values given on page 124,
the section Let’s Link given on page 175, the section Hots questions 1 and 3 given on
page 125 and Maths Lab Activity given on page 124.
• Use the section Let’s Revise given on page 123 for revising the concepts learnt.
• For quickly revising the concepts learnt use the topic Let’s Recap given on page 124.
• Use Multiple Choice Questions given on page 123 and Testing Time given on page 126
to conduct a quiz contest in the class.

9 Linear Equations
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to
understand what is an equation.
understand what is the solution (root) of the equation.
solve an equation by different methods such as:
(a) mentally (b) by trial and error (c) by systematic method (d) by transposition
translate statements into algebraic expressions.
Concept Building
• What is an equation. Use introduction section given on page 127 with the help of
examples given on this page. As an activity for introducing the concept it will be a good
idea if the teacher can use a balance to demonstrate an equation, i.e., balancing. Keep
some weights on the left side and ask them to balance this with the right hand side by
keeping an equal amount of weight.
• Ask if one big cube is equal to 4 kg and denoted by ‘a’, then how many small cubes of
wieght 250 g denoted by ‘b’ are required to balance weight on both the sides?
• Representing this as an equation we can write as a = 16 b. How many small cubes of
500 g (b) are required to balance the weight on both the sides?
a=8b
Solving an Equation Mentally;
• Use examples given on page 127.

length and two end points. Standing student represents initial point and the student who
moved represents the terminal point.
• Now third, pair of students one keeps standing at the point C and the other moves in the
any direction. Now explain them the concept of a ray and that of has one fixed end, no
fixed length.
• To teach incidence properties in a plane mark a point on the floor and ask a group of
students to gather at this point. Now direct them to move in different directions or two
each forming a pair in directions opposite to each other.
