Mathematics: Class 2 — Chapter 6: Decoration for Festival

6.1 Decoration for Celebration (Introduction to 2-Digit Addition)

Rohan and his friends are preparing garlands to decorate their homes for a celebration. Each garland is made of exactly $10$ flowers.

Garland and Flower Count Table

Based on the number of garlands and loose flowers each child has, we can find the total number of flowers:

  • Rohan: $1$ garland and $2$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 10 + 2 = 12$ flowers
  • Simran: $3$ garlands and $7$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 30 + 7 = 37$ flowers
  • Akash: $4$ garlands and $8$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 40 + 8 = 48$ flowers
  • Suwali: $5$ garlands and $3$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 50 + 3 = 53$ flowers
  • Javed: $4$ garlands and $3$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 40 + 3 = 43$ flowers
  • Zoha: $2$ garlands and $0$ loose flowers $\rightarrow 20 + 0 = 20$ flowers

Combining Flowers (Basic Addition)

To find the total flowers used by two friends together, we add their individual counts:

  • Rohan and Suwali: $12 + 53 = 65$ flowers.
    Using column addition:
    $$\begin{array}{r@{\quad}l} \text{T} & \text{O} \\ 1 & 2 \\ + \; 5 & 3 \\ \hline 6 & 5 \end{array}$$
  • Zoha and Javed: $20 + 43 = 63$ flowers.
  • Zoha and Akash: $20 + 48 = 68$ flowers.
6.2 Addition using Ginladi and Number Line

We can perform addition visually using a bead string called a ginladi or by jumping forward on a number line.

Using Ginladi

  • To solve $25 + 12$, start at $25$ and count $12$ beads ahead to reach $37$.
  • To solve $57 + 34$, break it down: $57 + 30 + 4 = 87 + 4 = 91$.
  • To solve $24 + 43$, break it down: $24 + 40 + 3 = 64 + 3 = 67$.

Using Number Line

Jumping on a number line makes addition easier without counting individual beads:

  • $23 + 14 = 37$: Start at $23$, take a big jump of $+10$ to reach $33$, then $4$ small steps of $+1$ to reach $37$.
  • $24 + 16 = 40$: Start at $24$, jump $+10$ to $34$, then $+6$ to reach $40$.
  • $11 + 22 = 33$: Start at $11$, jump $+20$ to $31$, then $+2$ to reach $33$.
6.3 Playing with Blocks (Addition with Regrouping)

When adding two-digit numbers, we sometimes get more than $9$ ones. We must regroup $10$ ones into $1$ ten.

Regrouping Example

Mahi has $2$ tens and $3$ ones ($23$ blocks). Isha has $3$ tens and $8$ ones ($38$ blocks).

  • Total ones: $3 + 8 = 11$ ones.
  • Regroup $11$ ones into $1$ ten and $1$ one.
  • Total tens: $2 + 3 + 1 \text{ (carried over)} = 6$ tens.
  • Total blocks: $6$ tens and $1$ one = $61$ blocks.

Column Addition with Carrying

To add $36 + 47$:

  1. Add the ones: $6 + 7 = 13$ ones. Write $3$ in the ones column and carry over $1$ to the tens column.
  2. Add the tens: $3 + 4 + 1 \text{ (carry)} = 8$ tens.
  3. Total sum: $83$.

Practice Problems

  • $46 + 39 = 85$
  • $56 + 19 = 75$
  • $36 + 8 = 44$
  • $30 + 58 = 88$
  • $45 + 35 = 80$
6.4 Subtraction Concepts (Taking Away)

Subtraction is the process of taking away a number of items from a group to find how many are left.

Using Ginladi and Number Line for Subtraction

  • Ginladi: To solve $75 - 35$, locate $75$ and count backward $35$ steps to reach $40$.
  • Number Line: To solve $19 - 15$, start at $19$, jump backward $10$ steps to $9$, then $5$ steps backward to reach $4$.

Practice Subtraction

  • $18 - 9 = 9$
  • $12 - 8 = 4$
  • $30 - 18 = 12$
  • $23 - 14 = 9$
  • $26 - 17 = 9$
  • $38 - 11 = 27$
  • $22 - 22 = 0$ (Subtracting a number from itself results in zero)
  • $14 - 0 = 14$ (Subtracting zero leaves the number unchanged)
6.5 Subtraction with Regrouping (Borrowing)

When the ones digit of the number being subtracted is larger than the ones digit of the starting number, we must open a ten (borrow) and convert it into $10$ ones.

Garland Example

Jyoti has $46$ flowers ($4$ garlands of $10$ and $6$ loose flowers). She wants to give $18$ flowers to her mother.

  • She cannot give $8$ loose flowers from $6$.
  • She opens $1$ garland, leaving her with $3$ garlands and $16$ loose flowers.
  • Now she subtracts: $16 - 8 = 8$ loose flowers, and $3 - 1 = 2$ garlands.
  • Flowers left: $28$.

Practice Problems

  • $45 - 18 = 27$
  • $84 - 37 = 47$
  • $65 - 45 = 20$
  • $93 - 48 = 45$
6.6 Addition and Subtraction Facts & Pyramids

Numbers share relationships that can be represented using fact families and mathematical pyramids.

Fact Families

A fact family shows how three numbers are related through addition and subtraction:

  • Family of $20, 30, 50$:
    $20 + 30 = 50$
    $30 + 20 = 50$
    $50 - 30 = 20$
    $50 - 20 = 30$

Addition and Subtraction Pyramids

  • Addition Pyramid: The number in each block is the sum of the two blocks directly below it.
  • Subtraction Pyramid: The number in each block is the difference of the blocks below it.
