NCERT solutions – complete answer key
Let us Discuss
Divide the chocolate and the paratha into two equal parts.
Compare the sizes visually to see if they look the same.
Measure the pieces using a ruler or scale to ensure they have the same length or weight.
Use equal parts by cutting the pieces in half and ensuring both halves match.
1. By dividing objects into equal parts.
2. To make both parts exactly equal.
Let us Do
1 Circle: first, third and fifth objects
2. Draw a line dividing each object into two equal parts
3 half
4. Colour half of the chikki.
5. Draw lines to make halves in different ways.
6. Complete the other half.
Let us Explore
Fold the rectangular and square paper into two equal parts in different ways to make halves.
Let us Discuss
No, they should share each item equally. Correct fair sharing is as follows:
- Mango tree → share fruits equally
- Solar lamp → use for equal time (day/night equally shared properly)
- Blanket → use alternately in equal duration
Let us Do
6 mangoes
3 mangoes each

Double of 7 = 14. 13 is one step back from 14; that means Distance = 1. Answer: 1
Half of 14 is 7; 5 is two steps back from 7, so distance = 2; answer = 2.
