We the Travellers I: the Long Journey Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes follow Chapter 1 of NCERT Math Mela.
🛶 Travelling then and now
People once walked, rode animals and sailed in boats. Today we use cycles, cars, trains, ships and aeroplanes.
🔢 Ten thousand
Ten thousands make a new place called TTh. Adding 1,000 to 9,000 gives 10,000, so numbers now have five digits.
📖 Reading numbers
Use commas to read big numbers. 45,867 is forty-five thousand eight hundred sixty-seven.
🐇 Nearest number
A hungry rabbit hops to the closest ten, hundred or thousand. That idea is called rounding.
💵 Counting notes
Place value tells us how many tens, hundreds or thousands are in an amount of money.
🧩 Pastime puzzles
Sanju and Mira play with river crossings, piles of pebbles and digit differences. These train logical thinking.

We the Travellers I Class 5 FAQs
What is Chapter 1 of NCERT Class 5 Maths Math Mela?
Chapter 1 is We the Travellers I. It teaches reading and writing numbers up to 5 digits, comparing and ordering them, rounding to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand, and solving travel problems.
How do you write ten thousand?
Ten thousand is written as 10,000. It is 10 thousands, with 1 in the TTh place and zeros in the Th, H, T and O places.
What does TTh mean in the place value chart?
TTh stands for ten thousands. It is the place to the left of the thousands place, so the digit 4 in 45,867 is worth 40,000.
How do you write number names for 5-digit numbers?
Say the thousands part first and then the rest. For example 10,458 is ten thousand four hundred fifty-eight.
How do you compare large numbers?
First count the digits, because a number with more digits is greater. If the digits are equal, compare from the left, so 9,990 is smaller than 49,014 even though 9 is greater than 4.
How do you round to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand?
Look at the digit to the right of the place you are rounding to. If it is 5 or more, round up, and if it is less than 5, round down, so 2,346 is 2,350 to the nearest ten and 2,300 to the nearest hundred.
What is the nearest thousand of 7,835?
The hundreds digit is 8, which is more than 5, so 7,835 rounds up to 8,000.
What is the expanded form of 70,405?
The expanded form is 70,000 + 400 + 5. Each digit is written with its place value.
How many notes of 100 rupees are there in Rs.7,934?
Ignore the last two digits, so 7,934 has 79 hundreds. There are 79 notes of Rs.100.
How do you arrange numbers in ascending and descending order?
Ascending means smallest to greatest, and descending means greatest to smallest. Compare the digits from the left to place each number.
Why does Mira always get 9 in the digit puzzle?
The difference of two numbers made from the same two digits is always a multiple of 9. Repeating the steps shrinks it down to 9.
What can children do on this page?
Children can take a 20-question online quiz with assertion and reason and case study questions, play five games, try five online activities, finish five challenges, run the We the Travellers Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
