CBSE Syllabus for Class 9 Maths 2024-25: Marking Scheme

Knowing the marking scheme for CBSE Class 9 Maths will help students know how to prioritise the chapters. Students should practice questions on all chapters and not skip any chapter even if it holds the least marks. Check the table below to have an idea about the CBSE Class 9 Maths marks weightage for 2024-25:

Unit I: Number Systems

1. Real Numbers (18 Periods)

• Review of representation of natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers on the number line. Rational numbers as recurring/ terminating decimals. Operations on real numbers.
• Examples of non-recurring/non-terminating decimals. Existence of non-rational numbers (irrational numbers) such as √2, √3 and their representation on the number line. Explaining that every real number is represented by a unique point on the number line and, conversely, viz., every point on the number line represents a unique real number.
• Definition of nth root of a real number.
• Rationalisation (with precise meaning) of real numbers of the type (and their combinations) where x and y are natural numbers and a and b are integers.
• Recall of laws of exponents with integral powers. Rational exponents with positive real bases (to be done by particular cases, allowing the learner to arrive at the general laws.)

Unit II: Algebra

1. Polynomials (26 Periods)

• Definition of a polynomial in one variable, with examples and counter examples. Coefficients of a polynomial, terms of a polynomial and zero polynomial. Degree of a polynomial. Constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials. Monomials, binomials, trinomials. Factors and multiples. Zeros of a polynomial. Motivate and State the Remainder Theorem with examples. Statement and proof of the Factor Theorem. Factorization of ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are real numbers, and of cubic polynomials using the Factor Theorem. Recall algebraic expressions and identities. Verification of identities:

2. Linear Equations in Two Variables (16 Periods)

• Recall linear equations in one variable. Introduction to the equation in two variables. Focus on linear equations of the type ax + by + c=0. Explain that a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions and justify their being written as ordered pairs of real numbers, plotting them and showing that they lie on a line.

Unit III: Coordinate Geometry Coordinate Geometry (7 Periods)

The Cartesian plane, coordinates of a point, names and terms associated with the coordinate plane, notations.

Unit IV: Geometry

1. Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry (7 Periods)

History – Geometry in India and Euclid’s geometry. Euclid’s method of formalizing observed phenomena into rigorous Mathematics with definitions, common/obvious notions, axioms/postulates and theorems. The five postulates of Euclid. Showing the relationship between axiom and theorem, for example: (Axiom)

• Given two distinct points, there exists one and only one line through them. (Theorem)
• (Prove) Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common.

2. Lines And Angles (15 Periods)

• (Motivate) If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the two adjacent angles so formed is 180O and the converse.
• (Prove) If two lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal.
• (Motivate) Lines which are parallel to a given line are parallel.

3. Triangles (22 Periods)

• (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if any two sides and the included angle of one triangle is equal to any two sides and the included angle of the other triangle (SAS Congruence).
• (Prove) Two triangles are congruent if any two angles and the included side of one triangle is equal to any two angles and the included side of the other triangle (ASA Congruence).
• (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of the other triangle (SSS Congruence).
• (Motivate) Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are equal (respectively) to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle. (RHS Congruence)
• (Prove) The angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
• (Motivate) The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.

4. Quadrilaterals (13 Periods)

• (Motivate) In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and conversely.
• (Motivate) In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal and conversely.
• (Motivate) A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal.
• (Motivate) In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other and conversely.
• (Motivate) In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid points of any two sides is parallel to the third side and in half of it and (motivate) its converse.

5. Circles (17 Periods)

• (Prove) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre and (motivate) its converse.
• (Motivate) The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord, and conversely, the line is drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord perpendicular to the chord.
• (Motivate) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or their respective centres) and conversely.
• (Prove) The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
• (Motivate) Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
• (Motivate) If a line segment joining two points subtends an equal angle at two other points lying on the same side of the line containing the segment, the four points lie on a circle.
• (Motivate) The sum of either of the pair of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180° and its converse.
