As per CCE guidelines, the syllabus of Mathematics for classes IX and X has been divided term wise.
The units specified for each term will be assessed through both formative and summative assessment.
In each term, there will be two formative assessments, each carrying 10% weight.
The summative assessment in the term I will carry 30% weight and the summative assessment in the term II will carry 30% weight.
