Question 6

Ari has 8 marbles.

Tom has 2 fewer marbles than Ari.

How many marbles does Tom have?

Method 1

Method 3

Ari has 8 marbles.

Tom has 2 fewer marbles than Ari.

lets leave 2 fingers.
Its Fewer that is Less, so we have to move backwards from 8.
One finger goes with 7 and the second finger goes with 6.
Hence Tom have 6 Marbles.




Question 7

Tom had 14 sweets at first.
He gave 1 sweet to Mini and has 1 less sweet.
How many sweets does Tom have now?

Solution

Tom had 14 sweets.
from 14 sweets, he gave 1 sweet to Mini.
now tom have 1 less sweet from 14.

lets leave 1 finger, since its LESS we have to move backwards from 14
1 finger goes with 13.








Now Tom have 13 sweets.
Again,Tom has 1 less sweet from 13.

lets again leave 1 finger.
since its Less we have to move backwards from 13
1 fingers goes with 12.

Hence Tom have 12 sweets now.

Question 9

Write the missing Numbers in this Number grid.

Choose any Number and Colour it.

Now, write four different sentences about the number you chose using 1 more than,2 more than, 1 less than and 2 less than.

here, we chose number 7.

1 more than 7 =  8 [ leave one finger, since its More we have to count forward. ]

2 more than 7 = 9 [ leave two fingers,count forward. one finger goes with 8 and second finger goes with 9. ]

1 less than 7 = 6 [leave one finger, since its Less we have to count backward. ]

2 less than 7 = 5 [ leave two fingers,count backward. one finger goes with 6 and second finger goes with 5. ]

Question 10

Ari has 18 stamps.
Rita has 15 stamps.
Ari gives Rita some of his stamps and now has 2 fewer stamps. 
How many stamps does Rita have now?

Ari gives some of his stamps to Rita and now she have 2 fewer stamps,
which means she gave 2 stamps to Rita.
Now, Rita has 2 more stamps

Already Rita had 15 stamps. Now 2 more stamps, that is leave two fingers and count forward.

Now Rita has 17 Stamps.
