(ii) Classification of objects by their counting (a number)
We can also classify or arrange the given set of objects based on the number of objects present.

Super Cells
Basically super cell is a type of block of number and this number is larger than its adjacent cells. Cells means
those cells which are situated around (left, right, top, bottom) super cell.

With the help of following structure, we can easily understand this.
Here, m, a, b, c, d are the numbers of any digit. Cell - 4(d)
But, according to the concept of super cell Cell - 2(b) Super cell (m) Cell - 1(a)
Cell - 3(c)
m > a, m > b, m > c, m > d
Now observe the numbers within in the table below:
61 41 49 16 17
65 76 35 26 9
(Table -1)

in the table-1, there are three super cells 17, 49 and 76 and these numbers are shaded, 17 is shaded as it is larger
than 16 and 9 (both adjacent cells) similarly 49 is shaded as it is larger then 41, 35 and 16 and besides this 76 is
also shaded as it is larger then 65, 41, and 35. 2576 2307 3515 2916

Let’s do the super cells activity with more number of rows. 2100 1905 2836 1096
The rule remains the same a cell becomes a super cell of the number in it is
greater then all the numbers in its neighbouring cells. In Table - 2, there are 8016 9986 6656 8555
4 super cells like 2576, 9986, 3515, 8555, all these numbers are greater than 5436 7756 2107 7007
their neighbouring numbers. Table - 2

Patterns of Numbers in the Number Line
We have already studied about the number line. With the help of this topic we can adjust some bigger numbers in
their appropriate position on the number line.
For example, place the numbers 3165, 8990 on the number line.

3165 8990

1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10,000
