MATHEMATICS
The academic year is divided into two terms. The evaluation of the child’s progress is based on the formal examinations as well as, on the day to day performance under the
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Formal examinations will be held at the end of each term.
There will be four formal examinations in a session –
 Periodic Test-1 (PT1) - This will include the syllabus as mentioned under Periodic Assessment 1.
 Half Yearly Examination– This is cumulative in nature and includes the entire syllabus of Term-1.
 Periodic Test-2 (PT2) - This will include the syllabus as mentioned under Periodic Assessment 2.
 Annual Examinations (AE) – This is cumulative in nature and will be based on selected content from the syllabus of Term-1 and the entire syllabus from Term-2.
