Maths Skills is a well-graded series for classes 1-8 based on the latest syllabus and adheres to the guidelines of
NEP 2020. This series provides an activity-based approach to help the learners of Mathematics. This approach
will engage the learners through emphasizing the role of Maths in our real life and also make a shift from rote-
learning to competency-based learning.
Salient Features of this Series are:

l Learning outcomes: Awareness about the topics which will be discussed in the chapter.
l Boot-up: Helps in connecting the previous learning to the present.
l Fact-o-meter: Provides the essence of the topic.
l Absorbing facts: Provides the additional knowledge of the topic. Vedic Mathematics
l Let’s Attempt: Carefully designed to be self explanatory and explains a Scan the given QR code to access

mathematical terms.
l Case-study: It defines as an intensive study about the topic which is aimed
to generalize over several units.
l Assessment Time: Includes various competencies such as Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the blanks, Case
study based questions, Hots questions, Brain teaser etc. for recapitulation.

l Activity: To develop the conceptual learning and provides a platform for exploration.
l Mind-map: Provides the structural representation of the chapter and also provides the interconnection
between topics at a glance.
l Assessment Papers: Extremely useful for the learners. These papers recapitulate units at different stages.
We hope that this series will bring a holistic change in the way of Mathematics learning. And in last but not in least
“There is nothing like perfection”. So, you are most welcome to send your valuable suggestions and comments.
