Class 3
Chapter 4: Vacation with My Nani Maa
Many real-life tasks become easier when we break them into a sequence of small steps. Story problems with money or distance can be solved the same way: read, plan, compute, check.
Learning outcomes
- Plan a simple journey using sequences of steps
- Apply addition and subtraction to story problems
Activities
- Step-by-step trip plan
- Pocket-money story sums
Worked examples
Read through these first, then try the practice below.
Example 1 — A simple plan
List the first three steps to pack a bag for a 2-day trip to your grandmother's house.
Solution: 1) Decide what you need each day. 2) Take out the items. 3) Pack them in your bag. (Other orders are fine — the key idea is breaking the task into steps.)
Example 2 — Story sum
Aman had ₹50. He spent ₹18 on a snack and ₹12 on a bus ticket. How much money is left?
Solution: Total spent = 18 + 12 = ₹30. Money left = 50 − 30 = ₹20.
