WHOLE NUMBERS
CASE STUDY-1
We can count the number of children in our school; we can also count the number
of people in a city; we can count the number of people in India. The number of
people in the whole world can also be counted. We may not be able to count the
number of stars in the sky or the number of hair on our heads but if we are able,
there would be a number for them also. We can then add one more to such a
number and get a larger number. In that case we can even write the number of
hair on two heads taken together. It is now perhaps obvious that there is no
largest number. Apart from these questions shared above, there are many others
that can come to our mind when we work with Whole Numbers.

Answer the following questions:

(i) Write the predecessor and successor of 2023. 1
(ii) Is there any natural number that has no predecessor? If yes, then write that
number. 1
(iii) How many whole numbers are there between 34 and 43? 2
OR
Write whether the given statement is true or false. 2
(a) 1 is the smallest whole number.
(b) All whole numbers are natural numbers.
CASE STUDY-2
Draw a line. Mark a point on it. Label it 0. Mark a second point to the right of 0.
Label it 1. The distance between these points labelled as 0 and 1 is called unit
distance. On this line, mark a point to the right of 1 and at unit distance from 1
and label it 2. In this way go on labelling points at unit distances as 3, 4, 5,... on
the line. You can go to any whole number on the right in this manner.
This is a number line for the whole numbers.

Vegetables come in great colours and flavours, but in what inside lies their real

beauty. The vegetables constitute important sources of several nutrients, such

as potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin A and vitamin C. Naturally, the majority of

vegetables have little calories and fat… Some vegetables have higher carbohydrate

levels and are often referred to as starchy vegetables. Usually, these are roots

and tubers like pipes and yams. Ther energy of the starchy vegetables is

increased due to their content of carbohydrates.

BASIC GEOMETRICAL IDEAS

CASE STUDY-1:
Geometry has a long and rich history. The term ‘Geometry’ is the English
equivalent of the Greek word ‘Geometron’. ‘Geo’ means Earth and ‘metron’ means
Measurement. According to historians, the geometrical ideas shaped up in ancient
times, probably due to the need in art, architecture and measurement. These
include occasions when the boundaries of cultivated lands had to be marked
without giving room for complaints. Construction of magnificent palaces, temples,
lakes, dams and cities, art and architecture propped up these ideas. Even today
geometrical ideas are reflected in all forms of art, measurements, architecture,
engineering, cloth designing etc.

Observe the given below figure.

Based on the figure, answer the following questions:

(i) Name the line containing point M. 1
