CBSE Class 10 Maths Syllabus 2024-2025: Get here the detailed syllabus of CBSE Class 10 Mathematics which is prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for the current academic session 2024-2025. The syllabus outlines the chapters and topics to be covered throughout the year. It also mentions the exam pattern and criteria for evaluating the 20 marks assigned for internal assessment.
The syllabus for the Standard and Basic versions of Mathematics is the same; however, the question paper in the Standard version will be of a higher difficulty level than the Mathematic Basic paper.
It is to be noted that there’s no significant change in the syllabus as compared to last year. The exam pattern also remains unchanged with increased weightage assigned to competency-based questions and MCQs for the year-end board exam. However, with the board introducing two board exams in one academic year, we can expect certain modifications in the exam pattern or course structure. Any updates by the board will be provided here.

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, 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.
