Unit-I: Number Systems
1. Real Numbers
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic – statements after reviewing work done earlier and after illustrating and motivating through examples, Proofs of the irrationality of √2,√3,√5.
Unit- II: Algebra
1. Polynomials
Zeros of a polynomial. Relationship between zeros and coefficients of quadratic polynomials
2. 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 the number of solutions. Solution of a pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically – by substitution, by elimination. Simple situational problems.
3. Quadratic Equations
A 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 formulas. Relationship between discriminant and nature of roots.
Situational problems based on quadratic equations related to day-to-day activities are to be incorporated.
4. 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.
Unit-III: Coordinate Geometry
1. Coordinate Geometry
Review: Concepts of coordinate geometry, graphs of linear equations. Distance formula. Section formula (internal division).
Unit-IV: Geometry
1. Triangle
Definitions, examples, and counter examples of similar triangles.
- (Prove) If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
- (Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel to the third side.
- (Motivate) If in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, their corresponding sides are proportional and the triangles are similar.
- (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding angles are equal and the two triangles are similar.
- (Motivate) If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including these angles are proportional, the two triangles are similar.
2. Circles
Tangents to a circle at the point of contact
- (Prove) The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
- (Prove) The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Unit-V: Trigonometry
1. Introduction To Trigonometry
Trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of a right-angled triangle. Proof of their existence (well defined); motivate the ratios whichever are defined at 0 and 90. Values of the trigonometric ratios of 30o, 45o and 60o. Relationships between the ratios.
2. Trigonometric Identities
Proof and application of the identity sin2 A+cos2 A=1. Only simple identities to be given.
3. Height and distances: Angles 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°, and 60°
Unit-VI: Mensuration
1. Areas related to circles
Area of sectors and segments of a circle. Problems based on areas and perimeter/circumference of the above-said plane figures. (In calculating the area of a segment of a circle, problems should be restricted to central angles of 60°, 90°, and 120° only.
2. Surface areas and volumes
Surface areas and volumes of combinations of any two of the following: cubes, cuboids, spheres, hemispheres, and right circular cylinders/cones.
Unit-VII: Statistics and Probability
1. Statistics
Mean, median, and mode of grouped data (bimodal situation to be avoided).
2. Probability
The classical definition of probability. Simple problems in finding the probability of an event.
