<h1><strong>CBSE Class VI Mathematics Syllabus</strong></h1>
<p>Mathematics transcends from basic skill to an in-depth analysis of the quantities around the students by this stage. The syllabus focuses on various new concepts and delving deeper into the pre-existing concepts. The students have gradually developed a better sense of the subject by the end of the year.</p>
<h3><strong>Syllabus</strong></h3>
<p>The curriculum for the academic year 2024-2025 is based on the guidelines given by CBSE. The syllabus is based around the main book suggested by CBSE. The layout of the book changes drastically too, focusing more on learning.</p>

<h3><strong>Objectives:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Provide a general idea of the developments within these periods of history. This can be achieved by presenting a broad overview of a theme and a detailed case study. Care will be taken to avoid an excess of detail which can burden textbooks.</li>
<li>Give an idea of the way historians come to know about the past. Students would be introduced to different types of sources and encouraged to reflect on them critically. This would require that extracts from sources &ndash; inscriptions, religious texts, travel accounts, chronicles, newspapers, state documents, visual material etc. &ndash; become an integral part of textbooks. Discussions built around these sources would allow learners to develop analytical skills.</li>
<li>Create a sense of historical diversity. Each theme would provide a broad overview, but would also focus on a case study of one region or a particular event. In choosing the case studies the focus would shift from one region to another so that the diversity of historical experiences can be studied without overburdening the syllabus.</li>
<li>Introduce the child to timelines and historical maps that would situate the case studies being discussed, and locate the developments of one region in relation to what was happening elsewhere.</li>
<li>Encourage the students to imagine what it would be like to live in the society that was being discussed, or how a child of the time would have experienced the events being talked of.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Social science</strong></h3>
<p>Social Science is a subject which is completely new for children. Hence the class six syllabus by CBSE covers vague topics and tackles the core values of social science.</p>
