Mathematics transcends from basic skills to an in-depth analysis of the quantities around the students by this stage. The syllabus focuses on various new concepts and delving deeper into the pre-existing concepts. The students have gradually developed a better sense of the subject by the end of the year.

(i) Knowing our Numbers: Consolidating the sense of numbers up to 5 digits, Size, estimation of numbers, identifying smaller, larger, etc. Place value (recapitulation and extension), connectives: use of symbols =, <,> and use of brackets, word problems on number operations involving large numbers up to a maximum of 5 digits in the answer after all operations. This would include conversions of units of length & mass (from the larger to the smaller units), estimation of outcome of number operations. Introduction to a sense of the largeness of, and initial familiarity with, large numbers up to 8 digits and approximation of large numbers)
(ii) Playing with Numbers: Simplification of brackets, Multiples and factors, divisibility rule of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11. (All these through observing patterns. Children would be helped in deducing some and then asked to derive some that are a combination of the basic patterns of divisibility.) Even/odd and prime/composite numbers, Co-prime numbers, prime factorization, every number can be written as products of prime factors. HCF and LCM, prime factorization and division method for HCF and LCM, the property LCM × HCF = product of two numbers. All this is to be embedded in contexts that bring out the significance and provide motivation to the child for learning these ideas.
(iii) Whole numbers: Natural numbers, whole numbers, properties of number (commutative, associative, distributive, additive identity, multiplicative identity), number line. Seeing patterns, identifying and formulating rules to be done by children. (As familiarity with algebra grows, the child can express the generic pattern.)
(iv) Negative Numbers and Integers: How negative numbers arise, models of negative numbers, connection to daily life, ordering of negative numbers, representation of negative numbers on a number line. Children to see patterns, identify and formulate rules. What are integers, identification of integers on the number line, operation of addition and subtraction of integers, showing the operations on the number line (addition of negative integer reduces the value of the number) comparison of integers, ordering of integers.
(v) Fractions: Revision of what a fraction is, Fraction as a part of a whole, Representation of fractions (pictorially and on a number line), fraction as a division, proper, improper & mixed fractions, equivalent fractions, comparison of fractions, addition and subtraction of fractions (Avoid large and complicated unnecessary tasks). (Moving towards abstraction infractions) Review of the idea of a decimal fraction, place value in the context of decimal fraction, interconversion of fractions and decimal fractions (avoid recurring decimals at this stage), word problems involving addition and subtraction of decimals (two operations together on money, mass, length, and temperature)
Introduction to Algebra
(i) Basic geometrical ideas (2 -D): Introduction to geometry. Its linkage with and reflection in everyday experience.
ii) Understanding Elementary Shapes (2-D and 3-D):
(iii) Symmetry: (reflection)
(iv) Constructions (using Straight edge Scale, protractor, compasses)
a) on line b) outside the line.
Concept of Perimeter and Introduction to Area Introduction and a general understanding of perimeter using many shapes. Shapes of different kinds with the same perimeter. Concept of area, Area of a rectangle and a square Counterexamples to different misconceptions related to perimeter and area.
The perimeter of a rectangle – and its special case – a square. Deducing the formula of the perimeter for a rectangle and then a square through pattern and generalization.
(i) What is data - choosing data to examine a hypothesis?
(ii) Collection and organization of data - examples of organizing it in tally bars and a table.
(iii) Pictograph- Need for scaling in pictograph interpretation & construction.
(iv) Making bar graphs for given data interpreting bar graphs+.
