PREFACE
The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education -International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in
making the educational content and methodology more sensitive and responsive to the global needs. It signifies the
emergence of a fresh thought process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to
pursue the learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.
The Central Board of Secondary Education has been providing support to the academic needs of the learners worldwide.
It has about 11500 schools affiliated to it and over 158 schools situated in more than 23 countries. The Board has always
been conscious of the varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing
certain elements of the learning process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which they are
engaged. The International Curriculum being designed by CBSE-i, has been visualized and developed with these
requirements in view.
The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The objective of the curriculum is to
nurture the independence of the learner, given the fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand,
appreciate, protect and build on values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, make the necessary modifications,
improvisations and additions wherever and whenever necessary.
The recent scientific and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of knowledge at an astonishing pace.
The speed and methods of assimilating knowledge have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to
rethink their approaches for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to
incorporate those skills which will enable the young learners to become 'life long learners'. The ability to stay current, to
upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant
life skills have to be a part of the learning domains of the global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of
these requirements.
The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the Indian system of education while promoting critical and
creative thinking skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills along with information and
media skills. There is an inbuilt flexibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum, in
all subject areas to cater to the different pace of learners.
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum in schools affiliated to CBSE at the international level in 2010 and is now
introducing it to other affiliated schools who meet the requirements for introducing this curriculum. The focus of CBSE-i
is to ensure that the learner is stress-free and committed to active learning. The learner would be evaluated on a
continuous and comprehensive basis consequent to the mutual interactions between the teacher and the learner. There
are some non-evaluative components in the curriculum which would be commented upon by the teachers and the school.
The objective of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge
with formal knowledge. This would involve trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process.
Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the
constituents of this 'Core'. The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic growth and learning curve.
The International Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the National Curricular Framework
(NCF 2005) NCERT and the experience gathered by the Board over the last seven decades in imparting effective learning
to millions of learners, many of whom are now global citizens.
The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at the international level, but as
an exercise in providing the much needed Indian leadership for global education at the school level. The International
Curriculum would evolve on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The
Board while addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the schools' administering this system strongly
recommends that practicing teachers become skillful learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to
their peers through the interactive platforms provided by the Board.
I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics), CBSE, Ms. Abha Adams and her team and Dr.
Sadhana Parashar, Head (Innovations and Research) CBSE along with other Education Officers involved in the
development and implementation of this material.
The CBSE-i website has already started enabling all stakeholders to participate in this initiative through the discussion
forums provided on the portal. Any further suggestions are welcome.

Task 3: How to find HCF of two given numbers using Euclid's division algorithm?
An algorithm is a series of well defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a
type of problem.
What is Euclid's division algorithm?
Steps to obtain the HCF of two positive integers, say x and y, with x > y.
Step 1: Apply Euclid's division lemma, to x and y. So, we find whole numbers, q and r
such that x = yq + r, o < r < y.
Step 2: If r = 0, y is the HCF of x and y. If r 0, then apply the division lemma to
y and r
Step 3: Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be the
required HCF.
Students can be asked to make a flowchart of Euclid's division algorithm.
Apply Euclids Division Lemma to a and b,
a = bq + r

10.
The length of last square is the HCF of given positive integers.
Observations: We observe that:

1.
In mathematical form we get the following expressions:

36 = 2 x
15+6
15 = 1 x
6+3
6=2x
3+0
2.
Here the length of last square is 3. So, HCF (36,15) = 3.
Conclusion: By paper cutting and pasting we find the HCF of two given positive integers
by applying Euclid's division algorithm.
Note for teachers: Teachers are suggested to ask students to verify the same activity by
taking some others pair of integers.

Task 1: Making Factor trees using prime factorisation
What is a factor tree?
A factor tree can be used to help find the prime factors of a number.
The tree is constructed for a particular number by looking for pairs of values which
multiply together to give that number. These pairs are added as "leaves" below the
original number. If a leaf is prime, then it can be circled as it is a prime factor. Leaves
which are not prime can be broken down in the same way as the original number,
until all the leaves are prime.
Observe the given factor tree and write the factors of 48.
Observe the given factor tree and write the factors of 36.

Example:
Find the LCM and HCF of 6 and 20 by the prime factorisation method.
6 = 21 3 1
20 = 2 2 5 = 22 51
HCF is the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the number.
So, HCF = 21 = 2
LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor in the numbers.
So, LCM = 22 x 31 x 51 = 60

Task 2: Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
Statement: Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes, and
this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
Consider the number 45.
45 = 3x3x5
We can write this as 3x5x3 or 5x3x3. The prime factors will remain the same, apart
from the order of factors.

Decimal expansion of rational numbers:
x
Consider performing the division
, where x and y are natural numbers. At each
y
step in the division, we are left with a remainder. This remainder, of course, will
always be a value between 0 and (y-1), both inclusive. The remainder either becomes
0 after a certain stage or start repeating themselves.
If the remainder is zero, the decimal representation terminates.
If we do not get zero as a remainder, the fact that there are only a finite number of
possible remainders means that at some point, we must get a remainder that we
already got before. But this means that the quotient will now repeat, since we are only
bringing down zeros from the dividend, the remainder exactly determines the next
digit in the quotient, which determines the next remainder, and so on.

It should be clear from the example
that after reaching a remainder of 3 for the

second time, the quotient will start repeating: 3/7 = 0.428571428571428571
21
CLASS-X
Therefore, the decimal representation of any rational number will be either

terminating or non-terminating recurring.
Morever, a number whose decimal expansion is terminating or non-termainating
recurring is rational.
Note:
Irrational numbers have decimal representation as non- terminating and nonrepeating. If a number has its decimal expansion as non-terminating nonrecurring, then the number will be irrational.
