ICSE Class 7 Maths Syllabus

The Council for The Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is the board of examination that conducts examination for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Examination (ICSE) for classes up to 10th and Indian School Certificate (ISC) for class 12th. Class 7th is considered to be equally important class as most of the basic concepts are taught in this class, which are repeated in higher classes. Maths holds to be one of the most difficult subjects as it requires an understanding of the subject. Maths may be a nightmare to a majority of students while only a few of the students actually love to solve Maths. Having a good practice of the subject, help students to score well. But before beginning your practice, it is crucially important for the students to be aware of the syllabus. Having a good knowledge of the subject helps the students to know about the pattern of the examination, as well as allows students in managing time for the subject.
