🔍 What is Straight Motion?

Straight motion means moving in a straight line — not curving, not circling, not swinging back and forth. The path of movement should be linear (like a ruler).

---

🧩 Let’s examine each picture:

#### 1. Girl on the Swing
- Path shown: curved, arc-shaped (back and forth).
- ✘ Not straight motion — it’s oscillating or swinging in an arc.

#### 2. Boy on the Merry-Go-Round (spinning carousel)
- Path shown: circular dotted line.
- ✘ Not straight motion — it’s rotating in a circle.

#### 3. Girl Running (with dotted line behind her)
- Path shown: straight diagonal line from left to right.
- ✔ Yes! This is straight motion.

#### 4. Boy Sliding Down Spiral Slide
- Path shown: curved, winding down the spiral.
- ✘ Not straight motion — it’s twisting/curving.

#### 5. Boy Pushing Toy Car (with straight arrow)
- Path shown: straight horizontal line to the right.
- ✔ Yes! This is straight motion.

✔ Final Answer: Check these two boxes:

- The box next to the girl running.
- The box next to the boy pushing the toy car.

💡 Explanation for Kids:

Imagine you’re drawing with a ruler — if your pencil goes in a straight line without turning, that’s straight motion! The girl running and the boy pushing the car are moving in straight lines. The others are going around in circles or curves — that’s not straight!

✔ Correctly checked boxes:
✔️ Girl running
✔️ Boy pushing toy car
