CBSE Class 8 SA1 Tips for Mathematics

By Reggie Menacherry 03rd Sep, 2016 | 12:29 am

Begin by practising ‘Comparing Quantities’, because the maximum number of questions most likely will come from this chapter
Practise as many types of application problems as possible
It would be very helpful to practise at least one graph (it can be a histogram or a pie chart) in the chapter ‘Data Handling’ every alternate day
Alternate the days where graphs are not being practised with a construction from ‘Practical Geometry’; one construction from that chapter is bound to come in the exam
After ‘Comparing Quantities’ is done, give preference to ‘Linear Equations in One Variable’; application problems are very important in this chapter

CHAPTER	DEGREE OF IMPORTANCE
CHAPTER	Low	Medium	High
Rational Numbers		Rational Numbers between two rational numbers
Square and Square Roots		Finding the square root through Prime Factorization Finding the square root by the Division Method
Linear Equations in One Variable			Application problems
Data Handling		Histogram Pie Charts Probability
Understanding Quadrilaterals
Practical Geometry
Comparing Quantities			Increase/Decrease Percent Cost price/Selling price, profit%/loss% Sales Tax and Value added Tax Compound Interest(Rate compounded Annually or Yearly)
