Questions and Solutions

Question 1

Is Sunday a funday for you?
Solution:

This is a personal question, and the answer depends on your individual experiences and preferences. For many children, Sunday is a fun day because it's a holiday from school, allowing time for play, family activities, or hobbies. Think about what you enjoy doing on Sundays and decide if it's a funday for you!

Question 2

Monday is happy to be the first day of the week. Now you tell —
  1. The third day of the week is _____.
  2. The fifth day of the week is _____.
  3. The second day of the week is ____.
  4. The last day of the week is _____.
Solution:

Let's list the days of the week in order to find the answers:

  1. The first day is Monday, the second is Tuesday, so the third day of the week is Wednesday.
  2. Continuing the sequence, the fourth day is Thursday, so the fifth day of the week is Friday.
  3. The second day of the week, following Monday, is Tuesday.
  4. The week ends with Sunday, making it the last day of the week. So, the last day of the week is Sunday.

Question 3

Which day will come:

(a) After Sunday?

(b) Before Sunday?

(c) After Wednesday?

(d) Before Wednesday?

(e) 2 days after Sunday?

(f) 4 days after Wednesday?

(g) 7 days after Monday?
Solution:

We can determine these days by knowing the order of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

(a) The day that comes immediately after Sunday is Monday.

(b) The day that comes immediately before Sunday is Saturday.

(c) The day that comes immediately after Wednesday is Thursday.

(d) The day that comes immediately before Wednesday is Tuesday.

(e) To find the day 2 days after Sunday, we count: 1 day after Sunday is Monday, and 2 days after Sunday is Tuesday.

(f) To find the day 4 days after Wednesday, we count: Thursday (1), Friday (2), Saturday (3), and Sunday (4).

(g) 7 days after any given day will be the same day. So, 7 days after Monday is Monday.

Question 1 (Page 67)

Which day do you like most? Why? What is the day today? Which day was it yesterday? Which day will it be tomorrow? Which day will it be the day after tomorrow? Which day was it the day before yesterday?
Solution:

These questions ask for your personal preferences and observations about the current days. Here's how you can think about them:

Which day do you like most? Why? This is your personal choice. Think about which day you enjoy the most and why (e.g., it's a holiday, you play with friends, etc.).

What is the day today? Look at a calendar or ask someone to know the current day.

Which day was it yesterday? Yesterday was the day immediately before today.

Which day will it be tomorrow? Tomorrow is the day immediately after today.

Which day will it be the day after tomorrow? This is two days after today.

Which day was it the day before yesterday? This is two days before today.

(Note: The specific answers for 'today', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', etc., will depend on when you are answering the question.)

Question 2 (Page 67)

Solution:

Let's use the provided schedule to fill in the blanks:

(a) The day after Friday is Saturday. According to the schedule, Rehnuma will be the teacher on Saturday.

(b) The day before Tuesday is Monday. According to the schedule, Vaibhav will play the teacher's role on Monday.

(c) Gaurav plays the teacher's role on Wednesday. The day before Wednesday is Tuesday. So, Gaurav will play the teacher's role on the day after Tuesday.
