UNIT I: NUMBER SYSTEMS 

1. Real Numbers 

Review of representation of natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers on the  number line. Representation of terminating/ non-terminating recurring decimals on  the number line through successive magnification. Rational numbers as recurring/  terminating decimals. Operations on real numbers. 

Examples of non-recurring/ non-terminating decimals. Existence of non-rational numbers  (irrational numbers) such as √2, √3, and their representation on the number line.  Explaining that every real number is represented by a unique point on the number line  and conversely, viz. every point on the number line represents a unique real number.  Definition of nth root of a real number. 

Rationalisation (with precise meaning) of real numbers of the type 1/(a+b√x) and 1/(√x+√y)  (and their combinations) where x and y are natural numbers and a and b are integers.  Recall of laws of exponents with integral powers. Rational exponents with positive real  bases (to be done by particular cases, allowing learners to arrive at the general laws.)

 

UNIT II: ALGEBRA 

2. Polynomials 

Definition of a polynomial in one variable, with examples and counterexamples.  Coefficients of a polynomial, terms of a polynomial and zero polynomial. Degree of a  polynomial. Constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials. Monomials, binomials,  trinomials. Factors and multiples. Zeros of a polynomial. 

Motivate and State the Remainder Theorem with examples. Statement and proof of  the Factor Theorem.

Factorization of ax^2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are real numbers, and of cubic  polynomials using the Factor Theorem. 

Recall of algebraic expressions and identities. Verification of identities: 

(x + y + z)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 +2xy + 2yz + 2xz 

(x ± y)^3 = x^3 ± y^3 ± 3xy (x ± y) 

x^3 ± y^3 = (x ± y) (x^2 ± xy + y^2) 

x^3 + y^3 + z^3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 – xy – yz – xz) 

and their use in factorization of polynomials. 

 

3. Linear Equations In Two Variables 

Recall of linear equations in one variable. Introduction to the equation in two variables.  Focus on linear equations of the type ax + by + c = 0.  Explain that a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions and justify  their being written as ordered pairs of real numbers, plotting them and showing that  they lie on a line. 

Graph of linear equations in two variables. 

Examples, problems from real life, including problems on Ratio and Proportion and  with algebraic and graphical solutions being done simultaneously. 

 

UNIT III: COORDINATE GEOMETRY 

4. Coordinate Geometry 

The Cartesian plane, coordinates of a point, names and terms associated with the  coordinate plane, notations, plotting points in the plane. 

 

UNIT IV: GEOMETRY 

5. Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry 

History - Geometry in India and Euclid’s geometry. 

Euclid’s method of formalising observed phenomena into rigorous Mathematics with  definitions, common/ obvious notions, axioms/ postulates and theorems. 

The five postulates of Euclid. Equivalent versions of the fifth postulate. Showing the  relationship between axiom and theorem, for example: 

(Axiom) 1. Given two distinct points, there exists one and only one line through them.

(Theorem) 2. (Prove) Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common.

 

6. Lines and Angles 

(Motivate) If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the two adjacent angles so formed  is 180° and the converse. 

(Prove) If two lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal. 

(Motivate) Results on corresponding angles, alternate angles, interior angles when a  transversal intersects two parallel lines. 

(Motivate) Lines which are parallel to a given line are parallel. 

(Prove) The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. 

(Motivate) If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle formed is equal to the  sum of the two interior opposite angles. 

 

7. Triangles 

(Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if any two sides and the included angle of one  triangle is equal to any two sides and the included angle of the other triangle (SAS  Congruence). 

(Prove) Two triangles are congruent if any two angles and the included side of one  triangle is equal to any two angles and the included side of the other triangle (ASA  Congruence). 

(Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal to  three sides of the other triangle (SSS Congruence). 

(Motivate) Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and a side of one  triangle are equal (respectively) to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle.  (RHS Congruence). 

(Prove) The angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. 

(Motivate) The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal. 

(Motivate) Triangle inequalities and relation between ‘angle and facing side’  inequalities in triangles. 

 

8. Quadrilaterals 

(Prove) The diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangles. 

(Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, and conversely. 

(Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal, and conversely. 

(Motivate) A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of its opposite sides is parallel and  equal. 

(Motivate) In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other and conversely. 

(Motivate) In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid points of any two sides is  parallel to the third side and in half of it and (motivates) its converse 

 

9. Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles (Deleted) 

 

10. Circles 

(Prove) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre and (motivate) its  converse. 

(Motivate) The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord  and conversely, the line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is  perpendicular to the chord.

(Motivate) There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear  points. 

(Motivate) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the  centre (or their respective centres) and conversely. 

(Prove) The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by  it at any point on the remaining part of the circle. 

(Motivate) Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal. 

(Motivate) If a line segment joining two points subtends equal angle at two other  points lying on the same side of the line containing the segment, the four points lie  on a circle.
