   • Geometry: Triangles, circles, constructions, coordinate geometry.
   • Trigonometry: Ratios, heights, and distances.
   • Statistics and Probability: Mean, median, mode, probability problems.
   • Mensuration: Surface area and volume of solids.

2. Marks Distribution:

   • Theory Exam: 80 marks.
   • Internal Assessment: 20 marks (Periodic Tests, Notebook Submission, Activities).

3. Difficulty Levels:

   • Standard Mathematics includes higher-order thinking questions.
   • Basic Mathematics is simplified for practical understanding.

4. Assessment Pattern:

   • Focus on application, reasoning, and problem-solving.
   • Questions range from very short answers to long-answer types.

5. Study Material:

   • NCERT Textbooks: Core resource for exams.
