ICSE Class 10 Math Internal Assessment Blueprint 2025-26

Students will undergo a minimum of two assignments prescribed by the teacher. Some of the suggested assignments by CISCE are mentioned below:

• Comparative newspaper coverage of different items.
• Survey of various types of Bank accounts, and rates of interest offered.
• Planning a home budget.
• Survey your locality to study the mode of conveyance / Price of various essential commodities / favorite sports.
• Represent the data using a bar graph/histogram and estimate the mode.  To use a newspaper to study and report on shares and dividends.

Evaluation Scheme

The ISC Class 10 Math project work will be evaluated by the subject teacher and by an External Examiner. (The External Examiner may be a teacher nominated by the Head of the school, who could be from the faculty, but not teaching the subject in the section/class. For example, a teacher of Mathematics of Class VIII may be deputed to be an External Examiner for Class X, Mathematics projects.)

The Internal Examiner and the External Examiner will evaluate the assignments independently.

Award of Marks	(20 Marks)
Subject Teacher (Internal Examiner)	10 marks
External Examiner	10 marks

The total marks obtained by the students out of 20 will be sent to CISCE by the Head of the school. The Head of the school will be in charge of the online entry of marks on CISCE’s CAREERS portal by the due date.

ICSE Class 10 Mathematics Chapter-wise Weightage 2026

The ICSE Class 10 Maths syllabus is designed to assess students’ conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Each chapter has a defined mark weightage, with algebra, geometry, and mensuration being the most crucial sections. Topics such as trigonometry, statistics, and probability are also essential for securing high scores, while set theory and coordinate geometry, though smaller in weightage, remain important for overall performance. Understanding the chapter-wise distribution of marks enables students to plan their preparation strategically and concentrate on the most scoring areas effectively.

Topic	Weightage (%)
Algebra	20–25%
Geometry	15–20%
Mensuration	15–20%
Statistics	10–15%
Trigonometry	10–15%
Set Theory	5–10%
Probability	5–10%
Coordinate Geometry	5–10%
