We the Travellers & Fractions
Fun activities, CT connections, worksheets & answer keys for Class 5 students — aligned to CBSE Maths Mela 2026-27!
Chapter 1 — We the Travellers I
Reading maps, finding routes, understanding directions, measuring distances and planning journeys using algorithms!
CT Skill: Algorithmic ThinkingChapter 2 — Fractions
Understanding equal parts, numerator & denominator, comparing fractions, adding & subtracting fractions with fun food examples!
CT Skill: DecompositionIn this chapter, we learn about maps, routes, directions and distances. We plan journeys — which is exactly what an algorithm is! A route is a step-by-step plan to get from one place to another. That's thinking like a computer! 🧠
| Maths Concept | CT Connection | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Reading a map | Pattern Recognition | Finding shapes, grids & symbols on maps |
| Planning a route | Algorithmic Thinking | Step-by-step directions to reach a place |
| Finding shortest path | Optimisation | Which route uses fewer steps? |
| Directions (N/S/E/W) | Decomposition | Breaking a journey into small moves |
Robo wants to travel from Mumbai to Delhi by train. Help Robo write a step-by-step algorithm for the journey!
- 1Look at the map and find Mumbai and Delhi
- 2Find all possible train routes between them
- 3Count the number of stops on each route
- 4Choose the route with FEWER stops — that's the shortest algorithm!
- 5Write directions: "Start at Mumbai → Go North → Pass Surat → Pass Vadodara → Reach Delhi"
Draw a 5×5 grid on your notebook. Mark your home at (1,1) and your school at (4,5). Now answer:
- AHow many steps RIGHT do you need to take?
- BHow many steps UP do you need to take?
- CWrite the algorithm: RIGHT ___, UP ___, RIGHT ___, UP ___
- DIs there another path with the SAME number of steps? (Yes/No)
Meena's family is going on a vacation! They travel:
- Mumbai to Pune = 150 km
- Pune to Mahabaleshwar = 120 km
- Mahabaleshwar to Goa = 200 km
Use decomposition — break the problem into small parts — and find the total distance!
Step 2: ___ + 200 = ___
Total Distance: ___ km
A fraction shows a part of a whole. When you eat 1 slice of a pizza that has 4 slices total — you ate 1/4 of the pizza! Fractions help us describe equal parts — just like how computers break data into equal parts to process it! 🍕
| Term | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Numerator | Top number — parts we HAVE | 3/4 → numerator is 3 |
| Denominator | Bottom number — total EQUAL parts | 3/4 → denominator is 4 |
| Proper Fraction | Numerator < Denominator | 2/5, 3/7, 1/4 |
| Equivalent Fraction | Same value, different numbers | 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 |
| Unit Fraction | Numerator = 1 always | 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/10 |
Aarav ordered a pizza with 8 slices for his 4 friends. Help distribute it fairly!
- 1Total slices = 8. Number of friends = 4. Each friend gets = 8 ÷ 4 = __ slices
- 2Write as a fraction: Each friend gets __/8 of the pizza
- 3Is this equal to 1/4? (Hint: Simplify 2/8 → divide top and bottom by 2)
- 4Draw the pizza divided into 8 equal parts. Colour Aarav's share!
Draw a number line from 0 to 1. Now mark these fractions on it!
- AWhich is bigger — 1/4 or 3/4? _______
- BWhich fraction is exactly in the middle between 0 and 1? _______
- CMark 2/4 on the number line. Is it the same as 1/2? (Yes/No) _______
Priya's school bag has 10 items:
- 1What fraction of items are textbooks? ___/10
- 2What fraction of items are pencils? ___/10
- 3What fraction are books (textbooks + notebooks together)? ___/10
- 4If Priya removes 2 items, total becomes 8. Now what fraction are textbooks? ___/8
