CBSE 10th Basic Maths
For Basic mathematics, formulas should be learned and comprehended by heart to score the best. Also, practising the NCERT questions can lead to the road of success. Primarily, students should possess a basic knowledge of mathematical operations and practise learning and writing theorems of Geometry chapters.
CBSE 10th Standard Maths
For Standard mathematics, emphasis should be on the application of formulas and an imperative need to constantly practice extra questions from the reference books. Students should focus on Competency-Based Questions and Higher-Order Thinking Skills questions. Students should also practice memorizing squares and cubes of natural numbers up to 30 and learn easy and fast calculations. Further, getting used to the tricks of Vedic mathematics will be advantageous.
CBSE 10th Mathematics: Preparation Tips
There should always be clarity on fundamental mathematical operations like the BODMAS (bracket, of, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction). Students should always have a clear concept of the mathematical basics. Students appearing for the class 10th board exams should be thorough with the Tables up to 20. The routine practice of all mathematical formulas in writing is always advisable. Students should assess topics through a series of test papers.
