Chapter 10 Fun at the Fair

Rupal loves going to the fair. She visits the local fair with her friends. Her mother gave her `50. She spent most of it on her favourite rides.

Talk about the things that children enjoy in fairs, whom do they go with, what do they buy and how much money do they spend there.

How Much I Spent?

Total money spent on rides = $ \large\square $

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \hspace{10 mm} \\ \\ \hline \end{array} \quad - \quad \\ \text{Money given} \\ \text{by Rupal’s} \\ \text{mother} $

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \hspace{10 mm} \\ \\ \hline \end{array} \quad = \quad \\ \text{Money} \\ \text{spent} $

$ \begin{array}{|l|} \hline \hspace{10 mm} \\ \\ \hline \end{array} \\ \text{Money left } \\ \text{with Rupal} $

A friend of Rupal has ₹ 8 left out of ₹ 50. She wanted to know how much money she spent. Let us see her way of finding it.

₹ $8+₹ \mathbf{2 0}=₹ 28$
$₹ 28+₹ \mathbf{2 0}=₹ 48$
$₹ 48+₹ \mathbf{2}=₹ 50$
₹42

If you had ₹ 3 left when your father gave you ₹ 40 for the fair, how many rupees did you spend? Find out.

Project Work

Whenever you go to the market or shop with your parents, make a list of the things that you buy and the total money you spend

Create more such contexts and ask questions whether children will add or subtract. Inculcate the value of saving money in the children through a discussion.
