Patterns
OBJECTIVES
• Students will identify patterns in pictures/shapes, numbers and letters.
• Students will develop an understanding extend given patterns.
• Students will be aware of the patterns in their daily surroundings.
• Students will be sort and group objects.
• Patterns serve as the foundation of algebraic thinking.
Introduction
A pattern is a repeated design or recurring sequence. It is a set of pictures/
shapes, letters or numbers arranged according to a certain rule.
Type I
Find the missing term or next term in (number or letter) series to continue the
given series.
• Identify the order of series (descending or ascending order). Observe
the pattern using operations: addition, subtraction, skip counting and
reverse counting.
• Identify the order of alphabetical series either A to Z or Z to A.
• Numbering of alphabets series either A to Z or Z to A.
• Skipping letters/numbers.
Type II
Find the missing term in the pattern.
• Identify the missing term in the pattern by observing the rule followed
in rest of the given terms.

Coding – Decoding
OBJECTIVES
• To transmit an information from one place to other using some codes
so as to reach to other person safely.
• To judge a child's ability to decipher the rule that codes a particular
word and number.
Introduction
A Code is a ‘system of signals’. Coding is a method of transmitting a message
between the sender and the receiver without a third person knowing it.
Before transmitting, the data is encoded and at receiver side encoded
data is decoded in order to obtain original data by determining common key in
encoded data.
Types of Coding-Decoding
1. Letter Coding
2. Number Coding
3. Substitution Coding
Type I: Letter Coding
In this type, the real alphabets are replaced by certain other alphabets according
to a specific rule to form its code. Students are required to detect the common
rule and answer the questions accordingly.
Case 1: Direct Letter Coding
Example 1
In a certain code, RAN is written as SBO and BAT is CBU, then how will RAT
be written in that code?
(a)
SAU (b)
RBT (c)
SBU (d)
UBS
Ans. (c)
94
Explanation:
Letter R A N B T
Code S B O C U
By direct code method, we get
R S, A B, T U
So, RAT will be written as SBU.
Example 2
In a certain language, SUN is coded as TVO, then how is FUN coded in that
code?
T V O G V O
Example 3
If in a certain code, FOUR is written as 3256 and MARE is written as 4167,
how is MORE written in that code?
(a)
3416 (b)
4267 (c)
4326 (d)
7624
Ans. (b)
95
EBD_7018
Explanation:
The alphabets are coded as shown:
F O U R M A E
3 2 5 6 4 1 7
So, In MORE,
M 4, O 2, R 6, E 7
Thus, the code for MORE is 4267.

Direction (Example 1) : Read the given information carefully and answer
the following question.
• Latika weighs 40 kg.
• Beena weighs 5 kg more than Latika.
• Garima weighs 3 kg less than Latika.
• Sanchi weighs 6 kg less than Garima.
Example 1
Who weights the most?
(a) Latika (b) Garima (c) Beena (d) Sanchi
Ans. (c)
Latika's weight = 40 kg
Beena's weight = 40 + 5 = 45 kg
Garima's weight = 40 – 3 = 37 kg
Sanchi's weight = 37 – 6 = 31 kg
Hence, Beena > Latika > Garima > Sanchi
(45 kg) (40 kg) (37 kg) (31 kg)
So, Beena weights the most.

Examples 1
Juhi is balancing a 1000g papaya with apples. Each apple weights 250g. She
has 2 apples. How many more apples does she need in order to balance the two
pans?
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
Ans. (b) Papaya's weight = 1000g
An apple's weight = 250g
Juhi has 2 apples
Two apple's weight = 250g + 250g
= 500g
Juhi needs in order to balance the two pans = 1000 – 500 = 500g
250g + 250g
500g =
2
So, Juhi need 2 apples more.

to the point to form a closed entry. There are various kinds of geometrical
shapes. Based upon the number of vertices and sides they are identified as
follows:
2D Geometric Shapes
Triangle • Triangle has three sides.
• It has three vertices.
162
Rectangle • Rectangles have 4 sides and 4 right angles.
• They all have 2 lines of symmetry (4 lines if they are
also a square)
• All rectangles belong to the parallelogram family.

Mirror Images
OBJECTIVES
Students will learn how different objects are seen when they get reflected
in mirror.
Introduction
The image obtained by putting a mirror in front of the real image is known as
mirror image or mirror reflection. The right side of an object appears on the
left side and the left side of an object appears on the right side. Phenomenon of
getting a letter inverted in its mirror image is called the lateral inversion. It is
obtained by inverting an object laterally. If we combine the original figure and
mirror image together, they form symmetry. Now look at these figures:
mirror
(a) (b)
If we combine both the figures (a) and (b), we get a new figure in shape of the
heart.
