CBSE Syllabus 2023-24: CBSE will conduct the 2023-24 board exams with a revised syllabus focusing on competency-based questions. The CBSE Class 10 Maths Syllabus 2023-2024 is divided into 7 units: number systems, algebra, coordinate geometry, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics & probability, comprising 15 chapters. Students should familiarize themselves with the updated syllabus for the current academic session.

Other important things to look for in the CBSE Class 10 Maths Syllabus include:

Weightage assigned to each unit
Typology of questions suggested for the annual exam
Question paper design
Components of Internal Assessment
Details of projects and assignments

You can read the complete syllabus here in this article and download the same in PDF from the link provided towards the end of the article. In addition to this, students can download important resources that will be very helpful for making preparations for the CBSE Class 10 Maths Exam 2024.

UNIT 1: NUMBER SYSTEMS

1. REAL NUMBER

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 2: 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 a number of solutions. Solution of a pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically – by substitution, by elimination. Simple situational problems.

3. 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.

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 3: COORDINATE GEOMETRY

1. Coordinate Geometry

Review: Concepts of coordinate geometry, graphs of linear equations. Distance formula. Section formula (internal division).

UNIT 4: GEOMETRY

1. TRIANGLES

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

Tangent 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 5: 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^o and 90^o. Values of the trigonometric ratios of 30⁰, 45^0, and 60⁰. Relationships between the ratios.

2. TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES

Proof and applications of the identity sin²A + cos²A = 1. Only simple identities to be given.

3. HEIGHTS 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°, and 60°.

UNIT 6: 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 the 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 7: 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.
