DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL, JANKIPURAM, LUCKNOW

GENERAL GUIDELINES SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS – CLASS 10

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
● Show your working with proper steps, direct answer will not be considered in section B to section E
● Use the rough column for the rough working (calculations & figures) at the right side of the page only.
● All word problems should be solved with proper statements. Also write your final answer with proper
statement.
● Use correct and clear mathematical formula
● Highlight the question no., correct and final answer at the end.
● Mention correct option in MCQs. Not to leave any questions attempted.
NUMBER SYSTEM: REAL NUMBERS
● Explain all the answers briefly with the proper steps and theorem used.
COORDINATE GEOMETRY
● Mention Formula -Section formula/midpoint/ distance formula. Check conditions for collinear
points/quadrilaterals / equidistance etc.
ALGEBRA: POLYNOMIALS, LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLE AND QUADRATIC EQUATIONS, A.P
● In case of factorization question you have to factorize completely or as asked in the question.
● Formula and Line Conditions: It is essential to mention the relevant formula and any conditions
regarding the lines involved in the problem.
● Verification: Verify the solution wherever the question asks for it.
GRAPH: LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES
● Use pencil only while doing the graph questions
● The width of the markings on both the axis should be uniform. (i.e. scale) Show the origin (i.e. O) Show
X and Y for both the respective axis. Mention the scale clearly on the top of the graph.
● Write the answer No. on the graph paper also.Label both the axis properly. Draw graphs neatly and
mention coordinates and equations properly.
GEOMETRY: TRIANGLES / CIRCLE
● Mention the theorem used in your answer.
● THEOREM should be written step by step – Statement- Given – To Prove – Construction – Proof
● Solving for geometry questions - Statement- Given – To Prove – Construction (if any) – Proof
MENSURATION
Draw Rough Diagram/Description: Write a short description of the figure/Use Formula: Use the formula
for the mensuration figure/Check Units: Ensure all measurements are in the same units (convert if
necessary)./Solve: Substitute values into the formula and calculate the volume.
Use the value of π (pi) as 3.14 or as given. Write Answer with Unit: Present the final answer with the
correct unit.
PROBABILITY / STATISTICS
● Sample events of the events should be mentioned along with the cases required.
● Simply the final answer in Probability and write formula only once while solving questions.
● Use correct formula and method for finding mean /median /mode. Use empirical formula if required.
TRIGONOMETRY - Revise all trigonometric identify / values for some specific angles. Draw rough diagram for
height and distance. Read statement twice before drawing rough diagram.
All the best children!!
