Class 9 Maths

Class 9 Maths is the base of secondary stage math learning that promotes various computational skills. It solidifies the mathematical understanding of concepts based on coordinate geometry, number system, algebra, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics, graphs, etc. Class 9 math helps students to gradually shift their concrete mathematical knowledge into abstract concepts and topics. Thus, studying each and every topic covered under Class 9 maths is highly important for students.

numbers, plotting them and showing that they lie on a line. Graph of linear equations in two

variables. Examples, problems from real life with algebraic and graphical solutions being

done simultaneously

coordinate plane, notations, plotting points in the plane.

GEOMETRY

LINES AND ANGLES

  1. (Motivate) If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the two adjacent angles so formed is 180°and the converse.
  2. (Prove) If two lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal.
  3. (Motivate) Results on corresponding angles, alternate angles, interior angles when a

transversal intersects two parallel lines.

  3. (Motivate) If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum

of the two interior opposite angles.

INTRODUCTION TO EUCLID'S GEOMETRY

History - Geometry in India and Euclid's geometry. Euclid's method of formalizing observed

phenomenon into rigorous mathematics with definitions, common/obvious notions,

axioms/postulates and theorems. The five postulates of Euclid. Equivalent versions of the fifth

postulate. Showing the relationship between axiom and theorem, for example:

(Axiom) 1. Given two distinct points, there exists one and only one line through them.

(Theorem) 2. (Prove) Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common.

TRIANGLES

Congruence of Triangles, Congruency Rules: SAS Congruence, ASA Congruence, SSS Congruence, RHS Congruence, Triangle inequalities, Relation between ‘angle and facing side'.

QUADRILATERALS

  1. (Prove) The diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
  2. (Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, and conversely.
  3. (Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal, and conversely.
  4. (Motivate) A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of its opposite sides is parallel and

equal.

  1. (Motivate) In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other and conversely.
  2. (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.

CIRCLES

Through examples, arrive at definition of circle and related concepts-radius, circumference,

diameter, chord, arc, secant, sector, segment, subtended angle.

  1. (Prove) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre and (motivate) its

converse.

  1. (Motivate) The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord and

conversely, the line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is

perpendicular to the chord.

  1. (Motivate) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the

centre (or their respective centres) and conversely.

  1. (Motivate) 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.

  1. (Motivate) Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
  2. (Motivate) The sum of either of the pair of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is

180° and its converse.

CONSTRUCTION

  1. Construction of bisectors of line segments and angles of measure 60˚, 90˚, 45˚ etc.,

equilateral triangles.

  1. Construction of a triangle given its base, sum/difference of the other two sides and one

base angle.

MENSURATION

HERON’S FORMULA

Area of a triangle using Heron's formula (without proof).

SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES

Surface areas and volumes of cubes, cuboids, spheres (including hemispheres) and right

circular cylinders/cones.

STATISTICS & PROBABILITY

STATISTICS

Introduction to Statistics: Collection of data, presentation of data — tabular form, ungrouped/grouped, bar graphs, histograms.

PROBABILITY

History, Repeated experiments and observed frequency approach to probability. Focus is

on empirical probability. (A large amount of time to be devoted to group and to individual

activities to motivate the concept; the experiments to be drawn from real - life situations, and

from examples used in the chapter on statistics).

Develop Class 9 Maths Skills
