Preface IMAX Program partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX Program presents the latest version of this series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. Designed specifically for state board schools, the Maple series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the State Curriculum Frameworks and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005. Therefore, our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. Listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are all generalised skills, and students’ mastery over them is key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the Maple English books strive to provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all the four LSRW skills. The aim of Mathematics teaching is to develop the abilities of students to think and reason mathematically, pursue assumptions to their logical conclusion and handle abstraction. The Maple Mathematics books aim to enhance logical reasoning and critical thinking skills that are at the heart of Mathematics teaching and learning. The Maple Look and Learn books contain age appropriate and easily-relatable content based on the themes recommended for English by the NCF. Graphics, illustrations and pictures have been used to help students engage with concepts and ideas in order to learn about the world around them. Overall, the IMAX Maple series aims to enhance linguistic, social, cultural, analytical and critical thinking skills for the intuitive and harmonious growth of an individual in an interconnected and independent global community. - The Authors NR_BGM_9789386663078 MAPLE G02 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 1_Text.pdf 2 1/7/2019 3:55:45 PM

Every photograph in Grandma’s album had an interesting story to tell. ‘Every time I show you a picture, I give you a piece of my heart’, Grandma told Lalitha. On that day, Grandma showed her a picture of herself in which she was standing in the fields. There was a scarecrow next to her. This picture was taken when she was seven years old. She and her friends had made the scarecrow together. Grandma then told Lalitha a story. She said that, one day, she had dressed up like a scarecrow and scared many children of her village. Lalitha laughed. ‘Grandma, you should tell your stories to the scarecrow whole world’, she said. ‘They are such interesting stories. Some of them are funny. Many are wise. I have an idea! You should write the story of your life’, said Lalitha. ‘Why will people want to read the story of my life?’ Grandma asked. ‘There is so much that everyone can learn from your life’, answered Lalitha.

Concept 1.1: Identify the Geometrical Features of Objects Think David drew shapes using objects like a can, a matchbox, a bangle and a cup. Do you know what these shapes are? 1/7/2019 3:55:50 PM 1 NR_BGM_9789386663078 MAPLE G02 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 1_Text.pdf 44

Recall We know about the following plane shapes: Now, let us recall and learn more about them in detail. If we observe our surroundings, we will find objects of different shapes. square rectangle circle In your classroom, you find many objects of different shapes. For example, a book, paper or a blackboard looks like a rectangle. Sometimes, we see different objects having the same shape. For example, a wall clock, a photo frame or a biscuit looks like a square. Shapes 2 NR_BGM_9789386663078 MAPLE G02 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 1_Text.pdf 45 1/7/2019 3:55:50 PM

& Remembering and Understanding We can draw shapes using straight lines or curved lines. Let us learn about straight lines. Point: A point is a dot. It has no shape or thickness and no dimensions. A point is denoted by a capital letter of the English alphabet. For example, A, X, Y, P and M shown below are points. X Y A PM Line: Many points placed close to each other form a line. It has no thickness or breadth. A line only has length. So, it is called a one-dimensional figure. A straight line has no ends. It extends on both the sides. AB We name two points A and B on a line and write it as AB . We read it as line AB. Line segment: A line segment is a part of a line. It has two points, a starting point and an end point. A line segment has an exact length. AB We write line segment AB as AB . We read it as segment AB. Ray: A ray is a part of a straight line, which has a starting point but no end point. It extends only on one side. A We write ray AB as AB . We read it as ray AB. B Straight lines are of three types. They are horizontal lines, vertical lines and slant lines. 3 1/7/2019 3:55:50 PM NR_BGM_9789386663078 MAPLE G02 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 1_Text.pdf 46

Horizontal lines: Sleeping lines drawn from left to right or from right to left are called horizontal lines. Vertical lines: Standing lines drawn from top to bottom are called vertical lines. Slant lines: Sloping lines are called slanting lines. Note: We name a straight line by any two points on it. Curved lines: Lines that are not straight are called curved lines. A straight line or a curved line is a one-dimensional (1D) figure. Using straight lines, we can draw geometrical shapes such as a square, a rectangle or a triangle. Example 1: Draw the following figures. a) Circle using a curved line b) Square using straight lines Solution: a) b) Shapes 4 NR_BGM_9789386663078 MAPLE G02 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 1_Text.pdf 47 1/7/2019 3:55:50 PM

We can draw figures using straight lines or curved lines. Open figures: Figures which do not end at the point where they begin from are called open figures. Closed figures: Figures which end at the point where they begin from are called closed figures. Square, rectangle, triangle and circle are closed figures. Application We can draw closed figures on a sheet of paper. These figures have both height and width. So, they are called two-dimensional figures or 2D figures or 2D shapes. Let us learn about them in detail. Square 1) It has four straight lines as sides. In the given figure, AB, BC, CD and DA are the sides. 2) All its sides are equal in length. D C 3) It has four corners. In the given figure, A, B, C and D are its corners. 4) We name a square using its corners. We name the given square as square ABCD.

Rectangle 1) It has four straight lines as sides. In the given figure, AB, BC, CD and DA are the sides. 2) Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in D C length. 3) It has four corners. In the given figure, A, B, C and D are its corners. 4) W e name a rectangle using its corners. We A B name the given rectangle as rectangle ABCD. Triangle A 1) It has three straight lines as sides. In the given figure, AB, BC and CA are the sides. 2) It has three corners. In the given figure, A, B, and C are the corners. 3) We name a triangle using its corners. We name the B C triangle as triangle ABC. Circle .O 1) It is a curved line. 2) It has no sides or corners. 3) We name a circle by its centre ‘O’.

Such figures are called three-dimensional figures or 3D figures or solid shapes.
