JKBOSE Class 3rd Math Chapter 1 (Where to Look From) complete solved exercises, textbook question answers, and notes according to the latest Jammu & Kashmir Board curriculum.
📌 Key Concepts
This chapter introduces spatial understanding and geometry concepts for young learners:
- Different Views: How an object looks different when viewed from the Top, Side, or Front.
- Dot Grid Patterns: Drawing basic rangoli shapes, letters, and objects using grid dots.
- Mirror Halves (Symmetry): Identifying whether an imaginary dotted line divides a picture into two equal, identical halves.
Exercise Questions & Answers
Q1 Dheeraj and Anshul both drew pictures of the same car, but their drawings looked completely different. Why?
Answer: Their drawings looked different because they looked at the car from different angles. Dheeraj looked at the car from the terrace (Top View), so it appeared like a small box inside a bigger box. Anshul looked at the car from the side (Side View).
Q2 Identify the views (Top View, Side View, or Front View) for the following everyday objects:
1. A staircase viewed from the side: Side View
2. A staircase viewed from the bottom looking straight up: Front View
3. A table viewed from directly above: Top View
4. A chair viewed from the side: Side View
5. A bus seen from the road: Side View
6. A pencil viewed from its top tip: Top View
Q3 What are “Mirror Halves”?
Answer: When a shape or picture can be divided by a line into two equal parts such that one side is the exact mirror reflection of the other, those parts are called mirror halves (symmetrical shapes).
Q4 Can the following English letters be divided into two mirror halves by a line? Write Yes or No:
• Letter A: Yes (Vertical line down the center)
• Letter B: Yes (Horizontal line across the middle)
• Letter C: Yes (Horizontal line)
• Letter F: No
• Letter H: Yes (Both vertical and horizontal)
• Letter K: Yes (Horizontal line)
