CLASS –X (2021-22)
FIRST TERM
1. REAL NUMBER
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - statements after reviewing work done earlier and
after illustrating and motivating through examples. Decimal representation of rational
numbers in terms of terminating/non-terminating recurring decimals.
2. POLYNOMIALS
Zeroes of a polynomial. Relationship between zeroes and coefficients of quadratic
polynomials only.
3. PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES
Pair of linear equations in two variables and graphical method of their solution,
consistency/inconsistency. Algebraic conditions for number of solutions. Solution of a
pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically - by substitution and by elimination.
Simple situational problems. Simple problems on equations reducible to linear
equations.
4. COORDINATE GEOMETRY
LINES (In two-dimensions)
Review: Concepts of coordinate geometry, graphs of linear equations. Distance formula.
Section formula (internal division)
5. TRIANGLES
SECOND TERM
1. QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
(10) Periods
Standard form of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, (a ≠ 0). Solutions of quadratic
equations (only real roots) by factorization, and by using quadratic formula. Relationship
between discriminant and nature of roots. Situational problems based on quadratic
equations related to day to day activities (problems on equations reducible to quadratic
equations are excluded)
2.ARITHMETIC..PROGRESSIONS
Motivation for studying Arithmetic Progression Derivation of the nth term and sum of
the first n terms of A.P. and their application in solving daily life problems.
(Applications based on sum to n terms of an A.P. are excluded)
3. CIRCLES
Tangent to a circle at, point of contact
1. (Prove) The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact.
2. (Prove) The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
4. CONSTRUCTIONS
1. Division of a line segment in a given ratio (internally).
2. Tangents to a circle from a point outside it.
5. SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY
HEIGHTS AND DISTANCES-Angle of elevation, Angle of Depression.
Simple problems on heights and distances. Problems should not involve more than two
right triangles. Angles of elevation / depression should be only 30°, 45°, 60°.
7. STATISTICS
Mean, median and mode of grouped data (bimodal situation to be avoided). Mean by
Direct Method and Assumed Mean Method only
