My Funday

Introduction: "My Funday" is a story-based chapter in Math-Magic – 2 that uses the idea of a child’s fun day to teach basic mathematical concepts. The chapter presents everyday situations—games, snacks, outings—so students can connect numbers and operations to familiar experiences. Importance: By linking maths to a child’s routine, the chapter makes learning meaningful and enjoyable. It builds number sense, introduces simple problem solving, and strengthens the habit of using maths to describe and organise real-life events. Key themes: - Using pictures and short stories to represent numbers and actions - Counting and grouping objects from everyday situations - Simple addition and subtraction using real-life examples - Comparing quantities and recognising more/less/equal - Reading simple pictorial data and answering questions - Sequencing events and understanding basic time-related ideas (morning/afternoon; o’clock/half past where applicable) What the student will learn: - How to count objects accurately and write the matching numbers - How to add and subtract small numbers within familiar contexts (e.g., toys, fruits, friends) - How to solve short word problems by choosing the…

• Identify and name the seven days of the week
• Sequence daily activities in the correct order using ordinal words (first, second, third)
• Tell time to the hour and half-hour using both analog and digital clocks
• Draw clock hands to represent given times to the hour and half-hour
• Calculate total time spent on activities by adding hours and half-hours in simple problems
• Solve one-step addition and subtraction word problems (within 100) based on a fun day scenario
• Use a number line to perform addition and subtraction up to 20
• Compare durations of activities using terms longer, shorter and equal
