Let Us Play

Do you remember this game? Let us play it again. We will record the actions in the table below. One is done for you.

Show and tell

Create a chain of cards such that every next card answers the question of the previous card. Distribute these cards among the children in the class. A child reads aloud their card and the other child having the answer identifies himself/herself. The game ends when every child has answered a question using their card.

One example is given below:

Let us compare who has more laddoos and show it using the sign more than (>) or less than (<) appropriately. 487 laddoos is more than 423 laddoos

423 addoos is less than 487 laddoos

Now compare 321 and 231. 3 hundred are more than 2 hundred. Do the other digits in the numbers matter here? No. So, 321 is more than (>) 231.

Let us take another example. We are comparing 209 with 290. Both numbers have two hundred. But 9 ones are less than 9 tens. So, 209 is less than (<) 290.

Let Us Do

Question 1. Compare the following numbers and use the signs >, < appropriately.

Question 2. Think and match the following.

Question 3. Circle the smallest number in each row:

Question 4. Circle the greatest number in each row:

1. 466, 437, 439, 447, 483
2. 464,387,123,256,348

Question 5. Make 3-digit numbers using 3,2, and 4 without repeating any digits, and color the greatest number with red and the smallest number with yellow.

Question 6. Now make more 3-digit numbers using 3, 2, and 4 where you may repeat the digits. Color the greatest number with red and the smallest number with yellow.

Question 7.

1. Arrange the following numbers from smallest to biggest. 456, 389, 207, 99, 110

The Story Of Our Numbers

Tens of thousands of years ago, people started counting. They wanted to keep records of their things. So they made marks on the walls of caves and on the barks of trees.

Over time, they kept records of their things by making groups of 5, 10, 20, and 60.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Indians created a method for
writing any number, however large, using only ten symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It was one of the most ingenious and creative inventions in human history. It made possible the invention of TVs, computers, mobile phones, and more. This method of writing numbers is now used everywhere in every country in the world.

Read and Learn More CBSE Solutions For Class 3 Maths

A very important part of this invention was the introduction and use of the symbol “0” to mean “nothing”. It is the number 0 that made this system of writing numerals work!

Over the next few months, we will learn how to write all numbers, however large, using just these ten symbols.

A long long time ago, there was a cowherd family in Tarakeshwar. Every day Deba and Deep took the cows out for grazing. They used to return in the late evening together with all the cows.

One day, Deba asked: How do we know that we have not lost any cows? They did not know how to count.

What could Deba and Deep do?

Their friend gave them an idea: When you go out, make a mark on the wall for each cow that leaves the gate. Then when you come back, strike out one mark from the wall each time a cow re-enters the gate.
