Repeated Addition
Travel Through
Footwear Shop
Mugilan and Yazhini
went to a footwear shop. By the time they entered the shop they saw a few of
their friends buying footwear. To their surprise, they found the shop was left
empty after sometime.
So, they
returned home without buying footwear. Can you say, why?
Read
the following conversation. Mugilan and Yazhini explained the situation to their mother.
Yazhini
: Mom, I saw chitu , She flew away with
2 sets of 2 slippers ( 2 + 2 = 4)
Mother
: Oh! I see.
Mugilan
: I saw pussy in the shop. It went away
with 3 sets of 4 slippers (4 + 4 + 4 = 12)
Mother
: Is it so?
Yazhini
: Mom! The fly selected 4 sets of 6 shoes. (6+6+6+6= 24).
Mother
: What happened next?
Mugilan
: Spider chose 5 sets of 8 shoes.
(8+8+8+8+8=40)
If none of the slippers was left in the shop. Can you guess who came next ?
Yazhini : Finally Centipede came and emptied the shop.
Teacher’s
Note: Teacher shall narrate the situation to
explain the concept of repeated addition.
Learn
Vegetable
farm
Agilan and Azhagi
are interested in gardening. In the leisure time, they are always found in the
vegetable garden in the backyard. They have four types of vegetable plants. Let
us visit the garden.
Teacher’s
Note: Teacher can
create different situation for repeated addition and make children practice
in class.
Practice
Use
repeated addition to find the total.
1.
There are 5 groups. There are 3 chicks in each group. How many chicks are there
altogether?
Asn : 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15 chicks
2. There are 4 bunches. There are 6 bananas in each bunch.
How many bananas are there altogether?
Ans : 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 bananas
3. There
are 3 trays. There are 10
eggs in each tray. How many eggs are there altogether?
Ans :
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 eggs
Teacher’s
Note: Teacher can make children observe that
repeated addition of even numbers is even but repeated addition of odd
numbers is either even or odd.
Pleasure Time
Draw the missing figures and complete repeated addition
fact.
Ans:
ii) 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
iii) 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
iv) 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24
Learn
Let us learn repeated addition using number line.
Start from 0 and
leap in three’s upto 12.
Frog will reach 12
in 4 leaps of 3 units each.
The frog can leap 3
units distance in one attempt.
After the 4th
attempt the distance covered by the frog will be 12 units it is shown as 0 + 3 =
3; 3 + 3 = 6; 6 + 3 = 9; 9 + 3 =12 that is 3 when repeatedly added 4 times gives
12 which can be expressed as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 units.
Practice
For each of the
distances given below, draw the leaping positions of the frog on the line to
reach 20.
i) one leap covers 2 units distance.
Repeated addition facts 2 + 2+ 2+ 2+
2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2 Number of jumbs 10
ii) one leap covers 4 units distance.
Repeated addition facts 4
+ 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 Number of
jumbs 5
iii) one leap covers 5 units distance.
Repeated addition facts 5
+ 5 + 5 + 5 Number of jumbs 4
