PREFACE

–Editor

Year after year CBSE has been introducing changes in the curriculum of various classes. We, at Oswaal Books, closely follow every change made by the Board and endeavor to equip every student with the latest study material to prepare for the Term Examinations.

The latest offering from us are these Worksheets. These aim at providing comprehensive practice material for every chapter to ensure that every concept is revised in totality. These are prepared by experienced teachers who have translated their expertise into making these worksheets a wholesome study package. Every worksheet contains a mix of questions, for which the maximum marks and time are mentioned to create an exam oriented study material.

Our worksheets strictly follow the NCERT curriculum and include the following:

• Chapter-wise pullout worksheets with space for writing answers

• Synopsis of the important points from every chapter

• Wide variety of questions based on Summative & Formative Assessment

• Sample Question paper for Term 1 & Term 2

We feel happy to add these to our existing portfolio of Question Banks and Sample Question Papers. We hope that with our Worksheets, every student will discover a more interactive way of studying and thereby excelling in his examinations. We welcome any suggestions that come our way for improvisation.

We wish you good luck for the forthcoming academic year!!
