Assam HSLC Class 10 Elective Advanced Mathematics · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Euclidean Geometry: Triangles, Circles and Constructions & Algebra: Polynomials, Linear and Quadratic Equations

  • State and prove the key triangle theorems (angle sum, Pythagoras and its converse, mid-point theorem, similarity criteria) from memory in writing

  • Apply congruence and similarity criteria to solve at least 15 two-column proof problems, writing each reason explicitly

  • Factorise and divide polynomials using the factor and remainder theorems, including the factorisation of cubic expressions

  • Solve at least 10 problems combining polynomial division with the factor theorem, checking each remainder by substitution

Your checkpoint

A handwritten proof-and-solution notebook containing 15 written geometry proofs and 10 fully worked polynomial problems, self-marked against model reasoning

Week 2

Euclidean Geometry: Triangles, Circles and Constructions & Trigonometry and its Applications

  • Solve circle theorem problems involving tangent properties, cyclic quadrilaterals, angles in the same segment, and the alternate segment theorem

  • Construct triangles, angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, and circles through given points using ruler and compass, with construction steps written out

  • Derive and apply the trigonometric ratios for 0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees without consulting a table

  • Prove standard trigonometric identities and simplify at least 12 identity-based expressions

Your checkpoint

A timed 60-minute mock section on geometry and trigonometry identities, scored and error-analysed in a corrections log

Week 3

Algebra: Polynomials, Linear and Quadratic Equations & Trigonometry and its Applications

  • Solve linear equations in two variables by elimination, substitution, and cross-multiplication, including word problems

  • Solve quadratic equations by factorisation, completing the square, and the quadratic formula, and interpret the discriminant

  • Form and solve at least 8 word problems that translate into linear or quadratic equations

  • Apply trigonometric ratios to heights-and-distances problems involving single and double observation points, drawing a correct diagram for each

Your checkpoint

A one-page formula-and-method sheet plus 20 solved mixed algebra and height-and-distance problems, with diagrams drawn to scale

Week 4

Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions, Series & Number Systems and Real Numbers

  • Identify the common difference or ratio of a sequence and write its general term for both AP and GP

  • Compute sums of AP and GP series, including the sum to n terms and the infinite GP sum where the ratio is less than one

  • Prove and use the laws of indices and surds, including rationalising denominators and simplifying nested radicals

  • Classify numbers as rational or irrational and prove irrationality of standard cases such as the square root of 2 by contradiction

Your checkpoint

A closed-book 60-minute test on sequences, series, surds, and irrationality proofs, with a written score and list of weak sub-topics

Week 5

Coordinate Geometry and Straight Lines & Mensuration: Areas and Volumes of Solids

  • Derive and apply the distance, section, and mid-point formulas, and find the slope of a line from two points

  • Write equations of lines in slope-intercept, point-slope, and general form, and test conditions for parallel and perpendicular lines

  • Solve problems on area, volume, and surface area of cylinders, cones, spheres, hemispheres, and combinations of solids

  • Convert between units of length, area, and volume in mensuration problems and interpret results in context

Week 6

Statistics: Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion & Probability

  • Compute mean, median, and mode for grouped and ungrouped data, including the use of assumed-mean and step-deviation methods
