The Shepherd’s Treasure: (PR)
Students will read the chapter from the link given below: This chapter is for
Pleasure reading. https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/fepw103.pdf. Summary
has been given below for understanding the gist of the story.
Summary: A poor shepherd lived in Iran. He was illiterate but very wise and
helpful. Soon he became so famous for his wisdom and friendly nature that the
king of that country wanted to meet him. So he dressed himself as a shepherd and
went to his cave.
The shepherd welcomed him, gave him a share of his frugal supper and also
talked to him wisely. The king was very impressed and made him the governor of
a small district. Although the shepherd got power and respect, he still remained
humble, helpful and sympathetic towards the people. Soon he became famous as
a kind and just governor.
The other governors became jealous of his fame and started speaking ill of him
and accusing him of stealing from the taxes and hoarding money in an iron chest.
The king ordered him to open the box which the shepherd always carried with
him. When the box was opened, the governors were embarrassed to see an old
blanket in it.
On being asked the reason for carrying an old blanket with him, the shepherd
replied with quiet dignity that if at any point of time, the king took away his new
cloak (meaning his position) the blanket would still protect him, as it was his
oldest friend.
The king was very pleased and the jealous governors were humiliated. He made
him the governor of a much bigger district that very day.

The Old Clock Shop (PR): Students can read the chapter through the link given
below:
https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/fepw104.pdf.
This chapter is for Pleasure reading. Summary has been given below for
understanding the gist of the story.
Summary: It was Christmas eve and it was closing time for shops. An old-clock
shop owner, Ray was still working on a clock. Two men, one in his twenties and
one in his fifties entered Ray’s shop. Ray gave them a notepad and a pencil telling
them that he was deaf and dumb through his sign language. Ray noticed that the
man had a gun in his pocket. He thought that he had come to his shop to rob him.
Understanding their dire need for money, Ray told the old man that he exchanged
a good sum of money with people against their watches or wall clocks. He did
this for goodwill and not in want of earning interest or security against the things.
That old man showed his old wrist watch to Ray and Ray in return offered him a
fifty dollar note. Both of them knew in their hearts that the watch was not of that
high a price. But this made the man happy as he got money without hurting Ray
and Ray also escaped from being hurt. Before leaving, the old man wrote to Ray
that he would be back soon to get his watch.
The story concluded peacefully, giving a sweet and simple message of “Peace on
earth and goodwill towards all”.
Grammar:
Prepositions
Prepositions: Students can check this link to learn about prepositions and then
go through the value points to revise the concept.
https://diksha.gov.in/play/content/do_312717777880424448117955
A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun
phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to
introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at,"
"on," "of," and "to."
Prepositions in English are highly idiomatic. Although there are some rules for
usage, much preposition usage is dictated by fixed expressions.
Prepositions of Direction
To refer to a direction, use the prepositions "to," "in," "into," "on," and "onto."
• She drove to the store.
• Don’t ring the doorbell. Come right in(to) the house.
• Drive on(to) the grass and park the car there.
Prepositions of Time
To refer to one point in time, use the prepositions "in," "at," and "on."
Use "in" with parts of the day (not specific times), months, years, and seasons.
• He reads in the evening.
• The weather is cold in December.
• She was born in 1996.
• We rake leaves in the fall.
Use "at" with the time of day. Also use "at" with noon, night, and midnight.
• I go to work at 8:00.
• He eats lunch at noon.
• She often goes for a walk at night.
• They go to bed at midnight.
Use "on" with days.
• I work on Saturdays.
Prepositions of Place
To refer to a place, use the prepositions "in" (the point itself), "at" (the general
vicinity), "on" (the surface), and "inside" (something contained).
• They will meet in the lunchroom.
• She was waiting at the corner.
• He left his phone on the bed.
• Place the pen inside the drawer.
Prepositions of Location
To refer to a location, use the prepositions "in" (an area or volume), "at" (a point),
and "on" (a surface).
• She will find him at the library. (a point)
• There is a lot of dirt on the window. (a surface)

Mathematics Chapter 3 : Playing with Numbers
Some more Divisibility Rules
Let a and b are two given numbers. If a is divisible by b then it will be
divisible by all the factors of b also.
Let a and b are two co-prime numbers. If c is divisible by a and b then c
will be divisible by the product of a and b (ab) also.
If a and b are divisible by c then a + b will also be divisible by c.
If a and b are divisible by c then a-b will also be divisible by c.
Prime Factorisation
When a number is expressed as a product of its prime factors is known as the
prime factorization method.
There are two methods to find the prime factors of a number-
1. Prime factorization using a factor tree
2. Repeated Division Method
Highest Common Factor (HCF)
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more given numbers is the highest
(or greatest) of their common factors. It is also known as the Greatest Common
Divisor (GCD).
(1) Prime factorisation method
Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)
The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more given numbers is the
lowest (or smallest or least) of their common multiples.
Page 7 of 17
(1) Prime factorisation method
PRODUCT OF TWO NUMBERS = LCM x HCF
• Some word problems on HCF & LCM
Chapter 6 : Integers
• Integers are the set of whole numbers and their opposites.
• Whole numbers larger than zero are called positive integers; and whole
numbers less than zero are called negative integers.
• The integer zero is neither positive nor negative.
• Two integers are opposites if they are at the same distance away from
zero, but on opposite sides of the number line.
Relationship between natural numbers, whole numbers and integers
Comparing and ordering Integers
Numbers to the right of the number line are always bigger than the number to the
left of the number line.
• Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.
• Negative numbers are always less than positive numbers.
• While using a number line, the number increases as we move towards the
right, and number decreases as we move to the left.
