Teacher’s Note: Encourage children to use the Dienes Blocks given 
at the end of the book and the number line for solving these problems. 
Children can do these problems by taking away and adding numbers in 
different ways. Discuss the relation between hundreds, tens and ones.
2.  Kishan has got an order to deliver 230 saplings to a 
school. He has packed 75 saplings in an open box. 
How many more saplings does he need to pack?
We have to subtract 75 from 230. 
We write the given problem as a box diagram:
Hundreds Tens
Ones
2 3 0
You can also use a number line to solve it.
To take away 5 ones, we 
change 1 ten into 10 ones.
We can now take away 5 ones 
from 10 ones.
