Solution of pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically – by substitution, by elimination and by cross multiplication. Simple situational problems must be included. Simple problems on equations reducible to linear equations may be included. 
  • Chapter 4-Quadratic Equations: Standard form of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, (a ≠ 0). Solution of quadratic equations (only real roots) by factorization and by completing the square, i.e., by using quadratic formula. Relationship between discriminant and nature of roots. Problems related to day-to-day activities to be incorporated.
  • Chapter 5- Arithmetic Progressions (AP) : Motivation for studying AP. Derivation of standard results of finding the nth term and sum of first n terms.

• Unit III:  Trigonometry 
  • Chapter 6- 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 (with proofs) of the trigonometric ratios of 30°, 45° and 60°. Relationships between the ratios. Trigonometric Identities: Proof and applications of the identity sin2A + cos2 A = 1. Only simple identities to be given. Trigonometric ratios of complementary angles.
  • Chapter 7-Heights and Distances:Simple and believable 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 IV: Coordinate Geometry 
  • Chapter 8-Lines (In two-dimensions):Review the concepts of coordinate geometry done earlier including graphs of linear equations. Awareness of geometrical representation of quadratic polynomials. Distance between two points and section formula (internal). Area of a triangle. 
• Unit V: Geometry 
  • Chapter 9-Triangles :Definitions, examples, counter examples of similar triangles. 

1. 1. (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.
   2. (Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel to the third side. 
   3. (Motivate) If in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, their corresponding sides are proportional and the triangles are similar.
   4. (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding angles are equal and the two triangles are similar. 
   5. (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. 
   6. (Motivate) If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other. 
   7. (Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares on their corresponding sides. 
   8. (Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. 
   9. (Prove) In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, the angles opposite to the first side is a right triangle. 

• Chapter 10- Circles :Tangents to a circle motivated by chords drawn from points coming closer and closer to the point. 

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.

• Chapter 11- Constructions

2. Tangent to a circle from a point outside it. 
3. Construction of a triangle similar to a given triangle.

• Unit VI: Mensuration 
  • Chapter 12- 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 the central angle of 60°, 90° and 120° only. Plane figures involving triangles, simple quadrilaterals and circles should be taken.)

1. Problems on finding 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.
2. 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.)

• Unit VII: Statistics and Probability 
  • Chapter 13-Statistics : Mean, median and mode of grouped data (bimodal situation to be avoided). Cumulative frequency graph.
  • Chapter 14- Probability:  Classical definition of probability. Connection with probability as given in Class IX. Simple problems on single events, not using set notation. 

Appendix 

1. Proofs in Mathematics Further discussion on concept of ‘statement’, ‘proof ’ and ‘argument’. Further illustrations of deductive proof with complete arguments using simple results from arithmetic, algebra and geometry. Simple theorems of the “Given ……… and assuming… prove ……..”. Training of using only the given facts (irrespective of their truths) to arrive at the required conclusion. Explanation of ‘converse’, ‘negation’, constructing converses and negations of given results/statements.
