Maths gets practical for Class X

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is introducing a practical component in the mathematics paper.For the first time, there are changes in the question papers of mathematics and science for class X. The mathematics question paper will comprise 80 marks for theory and 20 marks for internal assessment, while the science paper will have 60 marks for theory and 40 marks for practicals.Earlier, the science question paper had 75 marks for theory and 25 per cent for practicals, while there was no practical component in the maths paper. The CBSE had earlier introduced an internal assessment component in social sciences. In the maths paper, internal assessment, that will account for a total of 20 marks will cover evaluation of activities, project work and continuous evaluation. Similarly in science, the practical exam will have two components — hands-on school based year-end practical examination and practical skill-based multiple choice type year-end written examination — each comprising 20 marks.Maths paper for Class X Board exams will have practical.Chances for compartmental exams extended to 5 from 3
