Math-Magic, Book 5 Textbook for Class V by Shveta Uppal National Council for Education Training and Research (NCERT) of India Publication Department National Council of Education Research and Training Sri Aurobindo Marg , New Delhi- 1100 16 2008 ISBN 10: 8174508287 ISBN 13: 9788174508287 Foreword The National Curriculum Framework, 2005, recommends that children’s life at school must be linked to their life outside the school. This principle marks a departure from the legacy of bookish learning which continues to shape our system and causes a gap between the school, home and community. The syllabi and textbooks developed on the basis of NCF signify an attempt to implement this basic idea. They also attempt to discourage rote learning and the maintenance of sharp boundaries between different subject areas. We hope these measures will take us significantly further in the direction of a child-centered system of education outlined in the National Policy on Education (1986). The success of this effort depends on the steps that school principals and teachers will take to encourage children to reflect on their own learning and to pursue imaginative activities and questions. We must recognize that, given space, time and freedom, children generate new knowledge by engaging with the information passes on to them by adults. Treating the prescribed textbook as the sole basis of examination is one of the key reasons why other resources and sites of learning are ignored. Inculcating creativity and initiative is possible if we perceive and treat children as participants in learning, not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge. These aims imply considerable change in school routines and mode functioning. Flexibility in the daily time-table is as necessary as rigor in implementing the annual calendar so that the required number of teaching days is actually devoted to teaching. The methods used for teaching and evaluation will also determine how effective this textbook proves for making children’s life at school a happy experience, rather than a source of stress or boredom. Syllabus designers have tried to address the problem of curricular burden by restructuring and reorienting knowledge at different stages with greater consideration for child psychology and the time available for teaching. The textbook attempts to enhance this endeavor by giving higher priority and space to opportunities for contemplation and wondering, discussion in small groups, and activities requiring hands-on experience.

But Anshul started laughing. He was looking at Dheeraj's drawing of a car. Anshul said — it looks like a small box kept in a bigger one. Then Anshul showed his drawing to Dheeraj. Both of them drew the picture of the same car. But the drawings look different. Dheeraj said he had looked at the car from the terrace. Do you think his funny drawing is right? Have you looked at things from different sides? Do they look the same or different? Look at the pictures drawn here. How does the table look from the side? Which picture is from the top?
