Chapter List
1. Sets
Introduction to sets, types of sets, set notation, and basic operations including union, intersection, and difference of sets. Students learn to represent sets using Venn diagrams and apply set concepts to solve everyday problems. The English set-builder notation introduced here carries forward directly into Class 7 Mathematics.
2. Whole Numbers
Covers the number system including natural numbers, whole numbers, place value, rounding, and operations with large numbers. Includes concepts of prime and composite numbers, divisibility rules, and number patterns relevant to Class 6 curriculum. Place-value terms such as thousands and millions are introduced in the English forms used in board exam papers.
3. Factors and Multiples
Explains factors, multiples, prime factorization, highest common factor (HCF), and least common multiple (LCM) with worked examples and practice problems. Students learn multiple methods to find HCF and LCM for real-life applications. The English abbreviations HCF and LCM used here are the same terms carried forward into Class 7 and 8 Mathematics.
4. Integers
Introduction to integers including positive and negative numbers, number line representation, ordering of integers, and the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with integers using rules and worked examples. Mastering integer rules in English here builds directly into the Rational Numbers chapter in Class 7.
5. Simplifications
Covers the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS) and simplification of arithmetic expressions involving brackets, powers, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Students practice simplifying complex expressions step by step. The English acronym BODMAS used here is the standard term students will see in all future English medium exams.
6. Ratio and Proportion
Explains ratios, equivalent ratios, proportions, and their applications in everyday situations. Students learn to solve problems involving direct and inverse proportion and apply ratio concepts to sharing and scaling problems. Word problems here use English measurement units such as km and kg, common in board exam questions.
7. Financial Arithmetic
Practical mathematics covering profit and loss, percentage, simple interest, bills, and basic financial calculations. This unit helps students apply mathematical concepts to real-life business and commercial scenarios they encounter daily. Terms like profit margin and simple interest are introduced here in the exact English form used again in Class 7.
8. Introduction to Algebra
Introduction to algebraic expressions, variables, constants, coefficients, and basic algebraic operations. Students learn to write, simplify, and evaluate algebraic expressions as a foundation for more advanced algebra in higher classes. English algebraic terms like variable and coefficient introduced here match exactly what is used in Class 7 and 8 Algebra.
9. Linear Equations
Covers forming and solving one-variable linear equations using the balancing method. Students learn to translate word problems into equations and solve them systematically, applying their understanding of arithmetic operations and algebraic thinking. The balancing method taught here in English is the same approach used again in Class 7’s Linear Equations chapter.
10. Geometry
Fundamental geometry concepts including points, lines, angles, types of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons. Students learn to measure and construct angles using a protractor and apply geometric properties to classify shapes. English geometric terms such as angle and polygon introduced here are used consistently through Class 7 Geometry.
11. Perimeter and Area
Calculating perimeter and area of rectangles, squares, triangles, and composite shapes. Students apply formulas to find measurements and solve real-life problems involving fencing, flooring, and land measurement calculations. These English-language word problems prepare students for similar Class 7 exam questions on Perimeter, Area and Volume.
12. Three Dimensional Solids
Introduction to three-dimensional shapes including cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and cones. Students learn to identify and describe 3D objects, calculate volume of basic solids, and distinguish between surface area and volume concepts. The English names for these solids form the foundation for the volume calculations covered in Class 7.
13. Information Handling
Covers collection, organization, and representation of data using tally marks, tables, bar graphs, and pictographs. Students learn to read and interpret data displays and calculate basic measures including mean to draw conclusions from data. Reading bar graphs and pictographs in English here builds directly into Class 7’s Data Handling chapter.
