Maths

We hope you have completed the previous work by now and we are ready to go ahead with our

studies.

Let’s recap what we did last week. We learnt about the Indian Number System and

International Number System.

So, based on the same the first thing you will do is Complete EX 1.1

Moving ahead we try solving word problems involving the large numbers.

If you face difficulty on how to understand the word problems and to solve them you can use

the following link for clarification.

So, the next work is to solve the Try These questions given in page number 13 and 14.

A few more word problems we need to practice and hence, i expect you to solve Que numbers

1, 4, 5 and 6 from Exercise 1.2

Let’s move ahead with Estimation.

Estimation is the rough calculation of the value of numbers or quantity of something.

You already know about rounding off the numbers to the nearest tens, hundreds and

thousands.

Now,we will learn how to find the estimated sum and difference using the general rule.

The general rule states that to find the estimated sum or difference we need to round off the

numbers to the highest place value of each number.

For eg, if we need to find the estimated sum of (4823 + 218), we need to round off the first

number to nearest thousands and the second number to the nearest hundreds.

So, we have 4823 5000

218 200

On adding the rounded off numbers we get the sum as 5000+200 = 5200.

Still, if you find understanding the concept tough, you can look into the given link:

SELF-CARE IS A NECESSITY!!!

Corona virus pandemic has brought the whole world to a standstill. The danger humankind is facing

is very much real. Amidst this we have been instructed by our government to be in Lockdown i.e.

practice physical distancing, avoid being in large gatherings and only venture out from home when

there is a necessity (buying groceries, seeking medical help etc.) for our own safety. Schools and

workplaces are also closed in order to prevent community spread of the virus. Aside from

worrying about our physical health during these trying times our mental health is also affected.

Since our normal lifestyle has been brought to a complete halt people are experiencing huge loss in

financial, academic, social and many other aspects. This has led to increase in negative emotions

and behaviours like anxiety, frustration, restlessness, hopelessness, aggression, fear etc.

Keeping these aspects in mind I request the parents and children to take courage and start

developing a personal mental health kit by following the options given in the list below. You are

welcome to practice any activities which will help you to take care of your mental health. The

objectives behind developing mental health kit are:

1. Having a routine (as much as you can)- it will help you in developing a sense of purpose

amidst the difficulty we are facing right now. Spend time with yourself (learn or practice

hobbies).

2. Starting an at-home exercise routine- it will help you take care of your physical health as

well as help you to feel active.

3. Spend some time in nature- spend some time doing deep breathing exercise in your garden

or terrace or balcony. It will help you release negative emotions and fill you with positive

thoughts and feelings.

4. Maintain community and social interaction- use the technology (video call or audio calls

or conference calls etc.) to connect and develop a support system so that sharing of feelings

and experiences continues despite lockdown.

5. Practice gratitude and be of service to others from a distance- be a listening ear to

someone going through a tough time. Never forget the little things which make our life

colourful.

Class Activities

Class 6 1. Gratefulness Diary

2. Dragon Breathing Exercise

3. Physical Exercise- 20 minutes (skipping

rope, aerobics video in YouTube)

4. Taking care of Pets/Plants in their garden

5. Colouring/Doodling/Drawing/Playing

Music/Singing

6. Video call your friends, relatives and

share about your feelings

Dragon Breathing Exercise- Imagine that you are a dragon and you have a feather in the palm of

your hand which you put a few inches away from your mouth. Now breathe out all the fire (anger,

irritability, anxiety, restlessness, fear, frustration and negativity) from your body with a force so

strong that it can blow the feather away. Now, gently breathe in cool air through your nose and feel

it calming you down. Repeat it for three to five minutes.

Doodling/Drawing/Painting/Colouring Instruction- Use whatever materials are available in

your home. Don‟t trouble your parents to buy materials. Invest ten to fifteen minutes every day.

Don’t focus on how artistic your drawing is; rather focus on expressing your thoughts and feelings

through the drawing. Don’t complete the whole drawing in one day. Ask yourself these questions

after doing the activity 1. What are the feelings I had before the activity? 2. How was I feeling

during the activity? 3. How do I feel now after the activity is done?

Physical Exercise for 20 minutes and Dragon Breathing Exercise is mandatory. One can fix

time according to their convenience but regularity needs to be maintained.

Gratefulness Diary- Write about any five things you are grateful for before going to sleep/ before

starting a new day.

„I don‟t know what I think until I write it down.‟ – Joan Didion

If you want to talk about any issues or difficulties, you are going through during these tough

times you can contact your school counsellor for telephonic counselling. Confidentiality will be

maintained.
