Following topics are covered in Term 1 CBSE maths 2021-22 exam syllabus and marks allotted-
| Relations and Functions | 08 |
| Algebra | 10 |
| Calculus | 17 |
| Linear Programming | 05 |
| Internal Assessment | 10 |
| Grand Total | 50 |
Term 2 Syllabus
Following topics are covered in Term 2 CBSE maths 2021-22 exam syllabus and marks allotted-
| Calculus | 18 |
