HP Board Class 9 Syllabus 2024 Math

Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, Dharamshala
MATHEMATICS
9th Class
The Syllabus in the subject of Mathematics has undergone changes from time to time in
accordance with growth of the subject and emerging needs of the society. The present revised syllabus
has been designed in accordance with National Curriculum Framework 2005 and as per guidelines given
in Focus Group on Teaching of Mathematics which is to meet the emerging needs of all categories of
students for motivating the teacher to relate the topics from real life problems and other subject areas,
greater emphasis has been laid on applications of various concepts.
The curriculum at Secondary stage primarily aims at enhancing the capacity of students to
employ Mathematics in solving day-to-day life problems and studying the subject as a separate
discipline. It is expected that students should acquire the ability to solve problems using algebraic
methods and apply the knowledge of simple trigonometry to solve problems of heights and distances
Carrying out experiments with numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these
with further observations form inherent part of Mathematics learning at this stage. The proposed
curriculum includes the study of Arithmetical concepts, number system, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, menstruations, statistics, graphs and coordinate geometry etc.

The teaching of Mathematics should be imparted through activities which may involve the use
of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts, pictures posters games, puzzles and experiments.

OBJECTIVES

The board’s objectives of teaching of Mathematics at secondary stage are to help the learners to :

1. Consolidate the Mathematical Knowledge and Skills acquired at the upper primary stage.
2. Acquire knowledge and understanding, particularly by way of motivation and visualization, of
basic concepts, terms, principles and symbols and underlying processes and skills.
3. Develop mastery of basic algebraic skills;
4. Develop drawing skills;
5. Feel the flow of reasons while proving a result or solving a problem.
6. Apply the Knowledge and skills acquired to solve problems and wherever possible, by more than
one method
7. To develop positive ability to think analyze and articulate logically.
8. To develop awareness of the need for national integration, protection of the environment,
observance of small family norms. Removal of social barriers, elimination of gender biases.
9. To develop necessary skills to work with modern technological devices fields for its beautiful
structures and patterns etc.
10. To develop interest in Mathematics as a problem-solving tool in various fields for its beautiful
structures and patterns, etc.
11. To develop reverence and respect towards great Mathematicians for their contributions to the
field of Mathematics.
12. To develop interest in the subject by participating in related competitions
13. To acquaint students with different aspects of mathematics used in daily life.
14. To develop an interest in students to study mathematics as discipline
