statements after
reviewing work done earlier and after illustrating and motivating through examples,
Proofs of irrationality of √2 , √3, √5 Decimal representation of rational
numbers in terms of
terminating/non-terminating recurring decimals.
Polynomials
Zeros of a polynomial. Relationship between zeros and
coefficients of quadratic polynomials. Statement and simple problems on division algorithms
for
polynomials with real coefficients.
Pair of linear equations in two variables
Pair of linear equations in two variables and graphical

equations reducible to linear equations.
Quadratic equations
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 to be incorporated.
Arithmetic progressions
Motivation for studying Arithmetic Progression Derivation of
the
nth term and sum of the first n terms of arithmetic progressions.and their
application in
solving daily life problems.
Coordinate geometry
Only line in two dimensions. Concepts of coordinate geometry,
graphs of linear equations. Distance formula. Section formula (internal division). Area of a
triangle.
Triangles
Definitions, examples, 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.
- (Motivate) If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right
triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar
to the whole triangle and to each other.
- (Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the
squares of their corresponding sides.
- (Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the
squares on the other two sides.
- Prove) In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to sum of the squares on the
other two sides, the angles opposite to the first side is a right angle.
Circles
Tangent to a circle at, 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.
Constructions
- Division of a line segment in a given ratio (internally).
- Tangents to a circle from a point outside it.
- Construction of a triangle similar to a given triangle.
Introduction to trigonometry
Trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of a right-angled
triangle. Proof of their existence (well defined). Values of the trigonometric ratios of 30°
,
45°, and 60°. Relationships between the ratios.
Trigonometric identities: Proof and applications of the identity
sin
2 A +
cos
2 A = 1.
Only
simple identities to be given. Trigonometric ratios of complementary angles.
Height 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°.
Areas related to circles
Motivate the area of a circle; 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 the segment of a circle, problems should be restricted to a
central
angle of 60°, 90°, and 120° only. Plane figures involving triangles, simple quadrilaterals
and
circles should be taken.)
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. Frustum of a cone.
- Problems involving converting one type of metallic solid into another and other mixed
problems. (Problems with combinations of not more than two different solids can be
taken).
Statistics
Mean, median, and mode of grouped data (bimodal situation to
be
avoided). Cumulative frequency graph.
Probability
Classical definition of probability. Simple problems on
finding the probability of an event.
