Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers

A cardinal number defines how many (number) of something are present. Example, my friend's house is 4 (four) houses away from my house.

An ordinal number defines where (position) is something located in a list. Example, my friend’s house is the fourth building from my house.

So, if we say there are five persons standing in the line in a bank and the fifth person is wearing a blue shirt, we are

  • counting the number of persons, seen standing in a line
  • identifying the position of a particular person

Activity: My Train Ride

Number Exercise: Using the cardinal word forms and Ordinal numbers.

During the summer holidays, I went to Manguluru from Bengaluru by a train. The engine is the ___________ (1) and the foremost carriage of the train. My mother told me that a train also has cars in which we all travelled. The engine of our train was very strong. It pulled our long train having _________(18) cars easily even in uphill places. Our car was in the middle, _________ (9) from the engine. I sat by the window and was counting the trains and the number of cars they had. The ______(3) train that sped by us was very long having _________ (22) cars. I was surprised to see that the _________ (6) car of a train standing in a station had the words “Medical Van” written on it. It started to move when the guard waved a green flag standing on the _______ (7) car which was also the train’s last car. 

It was fun walking along with my father in a moving train crossing __________ (5) cars to reach the __________ (4) car. It was the food or the pantry car. As the train took a bend in the hills, I saw that the ladies’ car was just _________ (2) cars away from the engine. Our car was followed by three air-conditioned cars which were in __________ (10), ___________ (11) and ____________ (12) places away from the engine. When I got off the train at Manguluru, as I walked towards the station, I saw the railway porters unloading many things from two cars in the rear. They were the ___________ (16) and _________ (17) cars. It was a joyous train ride and I was looking forward to visit my grandparents.

Activity: Pick a sweet mango

Number Exercise – Sorting, Ordinal numbers till 50, Making a number chart

Lakshmi likes sweet mangoes. So, her mother went to the wholesale market to buy mangoes for her to distribute to her friends on her birthday. She knew that ripe mangoes are yellow in color and they are sweet. Lakshmi’s mother wanted to make some mango pickle so she chose unripe mangoes from the carts. From the top row tell the number and position of the ripe and unripe mangoes.

Odd and Even Numbers

Let’s talk about sharing now. Rama visited an orange farm when he went to his grandparents’ home. He brought 15 oranges home. And he wondered what he would do with so many oranges…

So, he decided to share them with his friends. He wanted to give the same number of oranges to both his friends.  

Don’t we all share with whom we care for.

               

If Rama equally shared the oranges he had into two baskets...

   
Count and write how many oranges are in the basket _________. Count and write how many oranges are in the basket _________.

Rama split _____________ out of 15 oranges into two baskets of each and had __________ remaining with him which could not be shared with both his friends. He wondered why he could not share 15 oranges completely. However, he happily shared the rest and ate the one orange himself.

Then he gave the two baskets to his friends and asked his teacher about his activity. The teacher called all the class students. He asked each student what things they had more in number that could be shared with others.

Latha replied that they grew vegetables in their backyard and had grown many brinjal plants.

                                   

She had _______________ brinjals. The teacher then asked her to place one brinjal each into two heaps. She placed the brinjals in the following manner.

                   
               
Count and write how many brinjals are present _________. Count and write how many brinjals are present _________.

She did not have anything left after making two equal groups of brinjals.

The teacher informed that, any

Number ending in 0   2   4  6   8 are called Even 
Number ending in 1   3   5  7   9 are called Odd

Rama had 15 oranges, having _________ as an ending number. So, 15 is an ___________ number. After splitting them in to two baskets he had ________ remaining. Rama understood that he had an odd number of oranges.

Latha had 18 oranges having __________ as an ending number. So, 18 is an ___________ number. After splitting them in to two heaps she had _____ with her. Latha came to know that she had an even number of brinjals. Latha gave one heap of brinjals to her neighbour and took one home happily.

Any number that can be split into two equal quantities without any leftover is Even.
Any number that leaves behind something after being split into two sets of equal quantities is Odd.

Activity: Identifying even and odd numbers

Number Exercise – Visual identification of odd and even numbers (0 to 50)

Identify looking at the number and write if it is even or odd, strike out as you write. Place only even numbers in one box and odd into another box.

Comparing Numbers

We saw that Rama had 15 oranges and that he wanted to share them such that both his friends get same number of oranges.  

Friend 1 Sign Friend 2
Number of Oranges 7 7
Equality Sign 7   7

What is neither more not less is said to be equal in mathematical terms. It is said to be same. It is represented by the equal symbol =

It requires that two things are measured or compared before saying that they are “more” or “less” or “equal”. In mathematics, they are represented as shown below

Number 1 Comparison Symbol Number 2
Rama had 15 oranges Rama had a less number than Latha Latha had 18 brinjals
15   18
If Rama had 20 Oranges Rama has more number than Latha Latha had 18 brinjals
20   18
If Rama had 18 Oranges Rama has same number as Latha Latha had 18 brinjals
18   18

Comparison can be between anything same or different. In our example we saw that Rama and Latha had different things namely, oranges and brinjals being compared for their number. We can compare many things for their sameness or differentness.

Activity: Comparison of two 2-digit numbers

Number Exercise: Comparing the quantity

Write the comparison sign between two numbers. Remember the following
