Vegetable Farm Class 1 Worksheet

Bring early arithmetic to life with this Vegetable Farm Class 1 worksheet. Use it alongside NCERT Class 1 Maths Chapter 6 - Vegetable Farm (Addition and Subtraction up to 20) in the Joyful Mathematics textbook.

Familiar vegetable-counting situations help children connect numbers with quantities. They can combine two collections, find how many remain after some are removed and explain their calculations using counters, drawings or a number path. The original practice questions with answers below offer additional examples alongside the worksheet available on this page.

Addition up to 20: Join Two Collections

Show twelve counters as vegetables in one basket and four in another. Bring the groups together and ask how many there are altogether. Children can count every counter or start at twelve and count on four: thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.

Ask children to point to the quantities represented by each number. The written calculation should describe the objects they have counted. Encourage them to explain why joining the baskets increases the total.

Subtraction up to 20: Find What Remains

Begin with fifteen counters. Remove four to represent vegetables sold at a stall. Count the remaining eleven counters and write 15 - 4 = 11.

For a drawing, cross out four of the fifteen objects and count those that are not crossed out. Discuss the starting quantity, the number removed and the number left. This helps children understand the action instead of choosing an answer by guessing.

Try another example: a basket contains eighteen carrots and six are used for cooking. Twelve carrots remain, so 18 - 6 = 12.

Use a Group of Ten to Organise Counting

Arrange a collection of fourteen counters as ten together and four extra. This makes the quantity easier to see and connects with earlier learning in Making 10.

To represent 14 + 3, keep the group of ten and add three to the four extras. There are now ten and seven, making seventeen. To represent 16 - 4, remove four from the six extras. Ten and two remain, making twelve.

Let children use whichever representation they understand. A clear explanation with objects is more useful than rushing into a written method they cannot yet describe.

Move Forward and Back on a Number Path

Draw a number path from 0 to 20. To show 11 + 5, start at eleven and move forward five spaces. You land on sixteen. To show 17 - 3, start at seventeen and move back three spaces. You land on fourteen.

Count each move carefully. The starting position is not the first move. Ask the child to move a counter one space at a time while keeping track of how many moves have been made.

Number paths give children another way to check a calculation. They can compare the result with their counters or drawings and discuss any difference.

Understand Vegetable Story Problems

Read a short story aloud: "A farmer picks nine radishes in the morning and five more in the evening. How many radishes did the farmer pick?" Children can show two groups, combine them and write 9 + 5 = 14.

Next, try: "A shopkeeper has sixteen potatoes and sells seven. How many potatoes remain?" Begin with sixteen and remove seven to find nine.

Ask what happened in the story before choosing addition or subtraction. Encourage children to draw a picture or act out the situation. Include the object name in the final answer, such as fourteen radishes or nine potatoes.

How to Use the NCERT Class 1 Chapter 6 Worksheet

Use the worksheet download option on this page alongside the Joyful Mathematics textbook. Discuss the pictures and read instructions aloud when needed. Allow children to choose objects, drawings or a number path to work out an answer.

Practise a few questions at a time. If a child makes a mistake, ask them to rebuild the collection and show what changes. Check whether they counted an object twice, missed a move or misunderstood the story.

At home, blocks can stand for vegetables. In class, children can take turns explaining a pretend market transaction. The answers above apply to the original on-page examples; answers to picture-based worksheet tasks depend on the actual pictures provided.
