you to cover up by the end of this break. The entire assignment will form a part of your
subject enrichment assessment and needs to be done in home-work copy. This assignment

TUTORIALS:-
What is a Noun? noun (noun): a word (except a pronoun) that identifies a person, place or thing, or names one of them (proper noun)
The simple definition is: a person, place or thing. Here are some examples:
person: man, woman, teacher, John, Mary
place: home, office, town, countryside, America
thing: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog, monkey
Note that any of the above can also be referred to by a pronoun. And note that names
like John or America are called "proper nouns".
The problem with the simple definition above is that it does not explain why "love" is a noun but can also be a verb.Another (more complicated) way of recognizing a noun is by its:
1. ending
2. position
3. function
NOTE:- Any query related to link and
content, text us on the given e-mail-
1. Noun ending
There are certain word endings that show that a word is a noun, for example:
-ity → nationality
-ment → appointment
-ness → happiness
-ation → relation
-hood → childhood
But this is not true for the word endings of all nouns. For example, the noun "spoonful" ends in -ful, but the adjective "careful" also ends in -ful.
2. Position in sentence
We can often recognize a noun by its position in the sentence.
Nouns often come after a determiner (a determiner is a word like a, an, the, this, my, such):
A relief
an afternoon
the doctor
this word
my house
such stupidity
Nouns often come after one or more adjectives:
a great relief
a peaceful afternoon
the tall, Indian doctor
this difficult word
my brown and white house
such crass stupidity
3. Function in a sentence
Nouns have certain functions (jobs) in a sentence, for example:
subject of verb: Doctors work hard.
object of verb: He likes coffee.
subject and object of verb: Teachers teach students.
But the subject or object of a sentence is not always a noun. It could be a pronoun or a phrase. In the sentence "My doctor works hard", the noun is "doctor" but the subject is "My doctor".

Nouns
It's not easy to describe a noun. In simple terms, nouns are "things" (and verbs are "actions"). Like food. Food (n) is something you eat (v). Or happiness.Happiness(n) is something you want (v). Or human being. A human being (n) is something you are (v).
These pages explain more about the grammar of nouns and offer example sentences, quizzes andsongs.
Types of Nouns 1.Common nouns and proper nouns, 2.concrete nouns and abstract nouns, 3.countable and uncountable, 4.collective nouns, compound nouns 5.Countable Nouns and Uncountable Nouns
Common Nouns
The vast majority of nouns are common nouns. Words like car, dog, teacher, house, water, music, plane, sea—they are all "general" nouns and NOT the name of some person or place. We call them common nouns.
Proper Nouns
Your name is a "proper noun". Do we say "Atlantic Ocean" or "the Atlantic Ocean"? Should I write "february" or "February"? Shirley, MrJeckyll, Thailand, April, Sony
Collective Nouns
A collective noun is a noun that represents a collection of individuals, usually people, such as a
team, a family or a crew.
Plural-Only Nouns
This is a small group of nouns that are always plural, such as trousers, boxers, headphones,
Possessive
Adding’sto show possession or ownership John's car, my parents' house
Noun as Adjective
Sometimes we use a noun to describe another noun. In that case, the first noun is "acting as" an adjective. love story, tooth-brush, bathroom
Compound Nouns
A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more words.
eg: tennis shoe, six-pack, bedroom
Types of Nouns
Nouns are an important part of speech in English, probably second only to verbs. There are several different types of English nouns. It is often useful to recognize the type a nouns because, different types of nouns have different rules. This helps you to use them correctly.
Common Nouns and Proper Nouns Common Nouns Most nouns are common nouns. Common nouns refer to people, places and things in general like chair ordog. Any noun that is not a name is a common noun. Examples: teacher, car, music, danger, receipt
Have you seen my dog?
The books are on your desk. Proper Nouns Names of people, places or organizations are proper nouns. Your name is a proper noun. London isa proper noun. United Nations is a proper noun. Rule: Proper nouns always start with a capital letter. Examples: Jane, Thailand, Sunday, James Bond, Einstein, Superman, Game of Thrones,
Shakespeare
Let me introduce you to Mary.
The capital of Italy is Rome.
He is the chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
I was born in November.
Note: Adjectives that we make from proper nouns also usually start with a capital
letter, for example Shakespearian, Orwellian.
Concrete Nouns and Abstract Nouns
Concrete Nouns Concrete nouns are physical things that you can touch. Examples: man, rice, head, car, furniture, mobile phone How many stars are there in the universe? Have you met James Bond? Pour the water down the drain.
Abstract Nouns Abstract nouns are the opposite of concrete nouns. They are things that you cannot touch. Abstractnouns are ideas, concepts and feelings. Examples:happiness, courage, danger, truth He has great strength. Who killed President Kennedy is a real mystery. Sometimes it takes courage to tell the truth. Their lives were full of sadness.
Countable Nouns and Uncountable Nouns
Countable Nouns(also called count nouns)You can count countable nouns. Countable nouns have singular and plural forms. Examples:ball, boy, cat, person I have only five dollars. The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. There are lots of people but we don't have a car. Uncountable Nouns(also called mass nouns)You cannot count uncountable nouns. You need to use "measure words" to quantify them.Rule: We never use uncountable nouns with the indefinite article (a/an). Uncountable nouns arealways singular.
Examples: water, happiness, cheese
Have you got some money?
Air-conditioners use a lot of electricity.
Do you have any work for me to do?
Many Asians eat rice.
Collective Nouns
A collective noun denotes a group of individuals. Examples:class (group of students), pride (group of lions), crew (group of sailors) Rule: Collective nouns can be treated as singular or plural. More about this at rules of subject-verbagreement with collective nouns.
His family live in different countries.
An average family consists of four people.
The new company is the result of a merger.
The board of directors will meet tomorrow.
Compound Nouns
A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more words. Most compound nouns are [noun+ noun] or [adjective + noun]. Each compound noun acts as a single unit and can be modified byadjectives and other nouns. Compound nouns have three different forms: 1. open or spaced - space between words (bus stop) 2. hyphenated - hyphen between words (mother-in-law) 3. closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words (football) Examples:cat food, blackboard, breakfast, full moon, washing machine, software
Can we use the swimming pool?
They stop work at sunset.
Don't forget that check-out is at 12 noon.
Note that all nouns are more than one type. For example, common nouns can be concrete
nouns or abstract nouns. (The common noun danger is an abstract noun.)And the same noun can change its type according to meaning. For example, the noun light can be uncountable (light in general) or countable (lamp).
ACTIVITIY
Write a poem, design a sign , or compose a greeting card to define an
abstract idea or feeling. Choose one of these or choose one of your
own.
Trust friendship happiness disappointment sadness excitement
THINK AND ANSWER:
Q1. Circle the abstract nouns in the following sentences.
a) In great excitement, the children opened their Christmas present.
b) As the storm raged around us, we gave all hope of saving our boat.
c) My grandfather is a man of great wisdom.
d) He found it hard to accept the criticism of his coach.
e) With great determination, Kara completed the marathon.
Q2. Match the collective nouns with the animals they are used
for
Shoal owl
Flockwolves
Gaggle chickens
Herdbees
Murder frogs
Swarm geese
Armybuffalo
Packbirds
Parliament crows
Pridefish
Brood lions
Q3. Write six compound words using the following words.
(Words can be used more than once.)
Day junk house water farmsidesun
Yard time light life back play line

TUTORIALS:-
Hey!!! Children I hope everybody has now understood large numbers and place value
system (both Indian and International Numeration).Surely, you would have
understood the difference between place value and face value of digits.
Now, let’s explore some new and interesting topics left in this chapter.
STANDARD FORM AND EXPANDED FORM
STANDARD FORM
Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very
small numbers easily.
For Example: 2, 00,00,000+ 50,00,000+7,00,000+30,000+0000+600+90+6
=25730690
EXPANDED FORM
When each digit of a given number is written with its place value, we get the expanded form of the number.
For example: 34, 16, 97, 832
We can expand any given number in three ways:
3 ten crore + 4 crore + 1 ten lakh + 6 lakh + 9 ten thousand + 7 thousand + 8 hundred + 3 ten + 2 one
Or
3 x 10,00,00,000 + 4 x 1,00,00,000 + 1 x 10,00,000 + 6 x 1,00,000 + 9 x 10,000 + 7 x 1,000 + 8 x 100 + 3 x 10 + 2 x 1
Or
30,00,00,000 + 4,00,00,000 + 10,00,000 + 6,00,000 + 90,000 + 7,000 + 800 + 30 + 2
SUCCESSOR AND PREDECESSOR
SUCCESSOR: To find the successor of a given number, we add 1 to it.
PREDECESSOR: To find predecessor of a given number, we subtract 1 from it.
For Example: i) Successor of 99,99,999 is (99,99,999 + 1) = 1,00,00,000
ii) Predecessor of 4,00,00,000 is (4,00,00,000 – 1) = 3,99,99,999
COMPARING NUMBERS
ASCENDING ORDER
The arrangement of numbers from the smallest to the greatest is called ascending order. This is also called as increasing order.
Example: 88,88,870 < 7,54,34,108 < 67,65,76,676 < 67,76,78,676
DESCENDING ORDER
The arrangement of numbers from the greatest to the smallest is called descending order. This is also called as decreasing order.
Example: 67,76,78,676 > 67,65,76,676 > 7,54,34,108 > 88,88,870
FORMING GREATEST AND SMALLEST NUMBER FROM GIVEN DIGITS
Numbers can be formed using the given digits with or without repetition of digits.
Example: 0,1,2,5,6,7,8,and 9
Greatest 8 digit number from above digits is 9,87,65,210
Smallest 8 digit number from above digits is 1,02,56,789
ROUNDING OFF
Rounding off to the nearest 100
If the digit in the tens place is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (i.e. < 5) then replace ones and tens places by ‘0’.
If the digit in the tens place is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 (i.e. > 5 or = 5, but < 10), then replace ones and tens places by ‘0’ and add 1 to the hundreds place.
Rounding off to the nearest 1000
If the digit in the hundred place is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (i.e. < 5) then replace ones, tens and hundred places by ‘0’.
If the digit in the hundreds place is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 (i.e. > 5 or = 5, but < 10), then replace ones, tens and hundred places by ‘0’ and add 1 to the thousands place.
ROMAN NUMERALS Numbers in Roman System are represented by a combination of letters from the Latin alphabets. Roman numerals are based on seven symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D, M.
**** The Roman Number System does not use place value. *** There is no Roman representation for the number zero.
RULES FOR WRITING ROMAN NUMERALS
RULE 1: When a symbol appears after a larger (or equal) symbol it is added.
Example: VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6 Example: LXX = L + X + X = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70
RULE 2: But if the symbol appears before a larger symbol it is subtracted.
Example: IV = V − I = 5 − 1 = 4 Example: IX = X − I = 10 − 1 = 9
RULE 3: Don’t use the same symbols more than three times in a row. RULE 4: Only I, X, C and M can be repeated.
QUESTIONS:- Let’s solve:
1. Write in expanded form:
a) 4, 50, 00,906 b) 1, 82, 23,176
2. Write in standard form: 3x 10,00,000+7x1,00,000+1x1000+7x100+3x10+8x1
3. Write the successor and predecessor of each of the following:
a) 9,00,00,000 b) 71,17,60,000 c) 8,01,03,000
4. Round off the following numbers to the nearest 100 and 1000.
NUMBER NEAREST 100 NEAREST 1000
97,023
8,60,890
9,68,748
5. Arrange the following in ascending order:
997998999, 979998999, 998997999, 99799998,998999997
6. Arrange the following in descending order:
5563821, 5499798, 5563831, 5489999, 5565830.
7. Form the smallest and greatest possible 7- digit numbers using the digits
3,8,1,0,6,9,7 (Repetition of digits is not allowed).
8. Write the Roman Numerals for: a) 179 b) 1054 c) 2020 d) 1973
9. Find and answer the following in Hindu-Arabic Numerals:
a) CM - DCC b) MCC - CML c) LX + XL
LEARNING OUTCOME:-
After studying this topic, students will be able to:
Understand expanded form and standard form.
Find out successor and predecessor of numbers.
Compare large numbers and arrange them in ascending and descending
series.
Form and round off large numbers.
Recognize Roman Numerals and perform various operations on it.

TUTORIALS:-
Early IT inventors Charles Babbage :
Charles Babbage , a British mathematician, is considered as the father of computing.
He invented a working model of the mechanical computer called the Difference Engine in 1822 and Analytical Engine in 1833.
Augusta Ada Lovelace:
Lady Augusta Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer, known for her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.
She is considered as the “First Programmer”, who suggested the use of Binary Data storage ( 0 and 1) instead of decimal number system.
Dr. Herman Hollerith:
He was an American statistician who invented a machine called Tabulating machine.
It was capable of reading data, processing it and giving the desired output.
The input was given through punched cards.
The punched cards were used to record and store data or information. Howard Aiken:
Howard Aiken was the primary engineer in IBM who developed the first automatic sequence- controlled calculatorMark I in 1944.
It was capable of executing long computations automatically. John Von Neumann:
A modern type computer came into existence with John Von Neumann development of software written in binary code
He initiated the practice of storing data and instructions in binary code in the computer’s memory
He also initiated the use of the memory to store data as well as programs.
He joined hands with Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in a consulting role. Later the team used binary code to built EDVAC ( Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer)
EDVAC concept of storing different programs on punched cards led to the advancement of computers that we know today.
