Let Us Do

Q1: Look at the picture and answer the following:
a. Which game are the children playing?
Ans: The children are playing 'hide and seek' game.

b. Who is looking from the top?
Ans: Jagat is looking from the top.

c. In Scene 1, if Rani faces towards the hut, will she be able to see who all are hiding near the hut? Discuss.
Ans: In scene 1, if Rani faces towards the hut, she will not be able to see who all are hiding near the hut because Bholu is hiding behind the tree and Mini is hiding behind the hut.

Discuss

(Page 25)

In Scene 4, can Mini see all the children playing the game? Discuss.
Ans: No, Mini can only see Bholu and Jagat.

Q2: Mini, Bholu, and Rani draw the same brick. Why are their drawings of the same brick different? Discuss.(Page 25)Ans: Their drawings are different because they drew the brick from different views. Mini drew the front view, Bholu drew the top view, and Rani drew the side view. Each view shows a different side of the brick.

Whose drawing shows the following views?(Page 25)

Ans:(Page 25)

Q3: Look at the pictures and name the objects. Also write which view of the object is given.(Page 25)

Ans: (Page 25)

Q4. Jagat and Rani have made different drawings of the same objects. Match the views with the objects.
(Page 25)Look around you! Try to make drawings of objects, such as chairs, tables, pencils, erasers, birthday cap, and bottle from different views.
Ans: (Page 25)

Boxy Buildings

(Page 27)

Jagat and Mini are playing. They are making different buildings using empty matchboxes and making their drawings from different views.
(Page 27)

Now, you also collect empty matchboxes or any other empty boxes to create different buildings and draw their top, side, and front views. You can challenge your friends by asking them to match your drawing with the right building.
Ans: Do it Yourself.

Grid Game

(Page 29)

(Page 29)

Q: Here are the clues given by Rani to fill the grid: 

  •  An eraser at the top right corner. 
  • A pencil in the top left corner. 
  • An apple in the middle of the second row and second column. 
  • A water bottle in the third row and second column.(Page 29)

Ans: (Page 29)

Grid Game - Treasure Hunt

(Page 30)

In this game, one player has to think of an object from the grid and help the other player locate it. Let's see how Jagat and Mini are playing.

(Page 30)

What object did Jagat think of?
Ans: 

  • Mini takes 2 steps to the left and 1 step upwards. She reaches the Cat.
  • Mark Mini's position on the grid.
    (Page 30)
  • Jagat thought of object mango.

Play the game with your partner 

From the starting point, trace the paths to reach the flower. How many steps are required for each path? Speak out or write down the different paths followed to reach the flower.
Play the game with your partner Ans: Steps required for each path (Path 1 and Path 2) = 7 steps
Play the game with your partner 

From the starting point, where would you reach in a smaller number of steps: the mango or the orange?

Steps required to reach mango = 5 steps.

Steps required to reach orange = 4 steps

Play the game with your partner Orange can be reached in smaller number of steps.

Drone Around the School

(Page 31)

Gyan has got a drone to show her friends. A drone can take pictures while flying.
(Page 31)

Q: Circle the places or things that you see in the picture and write their names.
Ans: In the drone's picture, circle items or places like trees, buildings, or playgrounds. Their names, e.g., "Tree, Car, School, Playground."(Page 31)

Drone Around the School (Continued)

(Page 32) 

Preet's elder sister has made a sight map of the school. You can easily locate Grade 4 on the map.
(Page 32)  Q1: Trace the path from the Grade 4 classroom to the stage.
Ans: (Page 32) 

Q2: How many routes were you able to find? (You may use different colour pencils to trace the different routes)
Ans: Number of routes to go from the Grade 4 classroom to the stage = 5 routes

Q3: Which is the shortest route? How do you know?
Ans: The route which is going to the right of Grade 4 via playground is the shortest.

Q4: The water delivery man has turned left from the entrance. Help him reach MDM Kitchen by telling him the route. Write the directions below.
Ans: (Page 32) Directions to the MDM Kitchen from the entrance: 
(i) Turn left at the entrance and walk straight. 
(ii) Go along the path between the Principal's Office and the Stage. 
(iii) Keep walking straight until you reach the Medical Room. 
(iv) From the Medical Room, turn left. The MDM Kitchen will be right there.

Q5: Rajat is not feeling well. Which way will you choose to take him to the medical room from the library?
Ans: (i) Walk past the stage and enter the corridor next to the hall. 
(ii) Continue straight, passing the Middle Wing classrooms. 
(iii) The room at the far-left corner of the corridor is the Medical Room.(Page 32) 

Q6: After the assembly in the playground, Bholu must go to the IT room and Rani has to go to the sports room. Trace their paths. Which way is longer?
Ans: (Page 32) So, Rani's way is longer.

FAQs on NCERT Solutions: Hide and Seek

1. What are the different hiding spots and their tricks in the Hide and Seek chapter?
Ans. The Hide and Seek chapter teaches students to identify and understand various hiding places using logical thinking and spatial reasoning. Students learn how objects can be concealed in plain sight, behind larger items, or in enclosed spaces. The chapter emphasises observational skills and pattern recognition, helping children develop visual perception and problem-solving abilities through practical examples and illustrations. These concepts strengthen mathematical thinking beyond simple calculations.
2. How do you count and locate hidden objects using systematic methods?
Ans. Systematic counting involves scanning spaces methodically-row by row, section by section-rather than randomly. Students learn to divide larger areas into smaller parts, count each section carefully, and keep track of findings. This grid-based or zone-based approach prevents missing objects and develops organisational thinking. The Hide and Seek solutions for Class 4 NCERT demonstrate how breaking problems into manageable steps improves accuracy and confidence in real-world situations.
3. Why is spatial reasoning important for solving Hide and Seek problems?
Ans. Spatial reasoning helps students visualise relationships between objects, understand perspectives, and mentally rotate or position items in space. The Hide and Seek chapter develops this crucial skill through interactive scenarios where children must imagine where objects might be hidden or how spaces connect. This foundational ability supports success in geometry, map reading, and everyday navigation-making it essential for mathematical development at the Class 4 level.
4. What common mistakes do students make when counting hidden objects?
Ans. Common errors include double-counting, skipping sections accidentally, losing track mid-count, and confusing overlapping objects. Students often rush without creating a system, leading to incorrect totals. The NCERT Hide and Seek solutions address these pitfalls by teaching organised counting strategies, using markers or mental checklists, and verifying answers. Practising structured approaches prevents careless mistakes and builds reliable problem-solving habits for future mathematical challenges.
5. How can I use Hide and Seek concepts to improve my observation skills for exams?
Ans. Regular practice with Hide and Seek activities trains focused attention and careful observation-skills directly applicable to reading word problems, noticing numerical patterns, and identifying relevant information during assessments. Students should solve varied problems, use mind maps and flashcards from EduRev to reinforce concepts, and practise explaining their counting methods aloud. This deliberate practice strengthens both mathematical reasoning and the sustained concentration needed for successful exam performance in Class 4.
