Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 5 chapter "We the Travellers - I". Numbers are written with commas in the Indian place-value system (for example 45,867). A digit's value depends on its place: in 62,418 the 6 is worth 60,000. To round to the nearest 100, look at the tens digit: 5 or more rounds up, 4 or less rounds down. Football facts used (stadium capacities of Wembley, Lusail, Signal Iduna Park and Allianz Arena, and Pele's first World Cup in 1958) were true when written; please re-check capacities as stadiums change.
