HINDI
Introduction :
National Integration is the need of the hour of our country. Hind, as a national language, binds all Indian together and hence this language should be accepted as national pride. Young generations are expected to devote their time to learn this language along with English and MIL. Teachers, bearing in mind the delicacy of introducing Hind language in a non-Hindi speaking area, shall guide the elementary stage children to this language ladder in which they move step by step enjoyingly.
Objectives of Teaching Hindi in Elementary Stage
(From Classes III to VII)
The main objectives of teaching Hindi as one of three languages are :
(a) To enable pupils tocquire basic preliminary knowledge of the language;
(b) To awaken interest in pupils to compare and contrast the fundamental rules and techniques of Hindi language with those English and MIL
(c) To develop pupil’s conception of the fact that languages are but sound produced and guided by definite rules in their articulation and written forms differing in intonation and script formation.
(d) To develop wider sympathy in pupils of different language groups and thus to generate liberalality of mind;
(e) To impress upon the pupil’s mind that different languages belong to the same family of ideas and thoughts though they differ in forms and scripts.

MATHEMATICS
Rationale
Mathematics has been an inseparable part of school curriculum since the beginning of formal education and it has played a pre-dominant role not only in the advancement of civilization in general but also in the development of physical sciences and other disciplines.
One of the basic aims of teaching mathematics in schools is to inculcate the skill of quantification of experiences around the learners. Towards this, carrying out experiments with numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these with further observations from inherent part of mathemetics learning. It would also include generalizing these findings with proofs and developing competence to solve problems. The mathematics curicula must develop an appreciation and understanding of the contribution of indian mathematicians along with that of others.
Mathematics learning should be imparted through activities from the very beginning of school education, i.e. from the primary stage itself. These activities may involve the use of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts, pictures, posters, games, puzzles and experiments.
1. Primary stage :
The main considerations while developing curriculum in mathematics at primary stage are :
(i) relating expected learning outcomes to the developmental characteristics of the learner.
(ii) provision of opportunities for application of newly learnt concepts in a variety of situations, including unfamiliar situations.
(iii) development of skills of learning to learn, problem-solving, observing patterns, extending them and representing and interpreting data.
(iv) provision for revisiting of the concepts through use of spiral approach.
(v) promoting skills of reasoning and logical thinking amongst learners.
Objectives :
The major objectives of teaching mathematics at the primary stage are to enable the learner to :
(i) develop an understanding of the number concepts
(ii) develop an understanding of four fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and perform them with speed and accuracy in solving problems of day-to-day life
(iii) develop an understanding of various kinds of measures such as length, mass, capacity, time, money, temperature, area, and volume and use these measures in situations arising in the learner’s immediate environment
(iv) develop an understanding and appreciation of geometrical shapes and their characteristics and discuss, describe and draw two/three dimensional shapes.
(v) develop power of interpretation and representation of given information
(vi) develop and exhibit creativity
(vii) develop power of thinking and reasoning
(viii) develop scientific temper
Learning areas :
The following five learning areas have been identified for the curriculum in mathematics at primary stage :
(i) Number and numeration
(ii) Four fundamental operations

Rationale
Mathematics has been an inseparable part of school curriculum since the beginning of formal education and it has played a pre-dominant role not only in the advancement of civilization in general but also in the development of physical sciences and other disciplines.
One of the basic aims of teaching mathematics in schools is to inculcate the skill of quantification of experiences around the learners. Towards this, carrying out experiments with numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these with further observations from inherent part of mathemetics learning. It would also include generalizing these findings with proofs and developing competence to solve problems. The mathematics curicula must develop an appreciation and understanding of the contribution of indian mathematicians along with that of others.
Mathematics learning should be imparted through activities from the very beginning of school education, i.e. from the primary stage itself. These activities may involve the use of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts, pictures, posters, games, puzzles and experiments.

(iii) development of skills of learning to learn, problem-solving, observing patterns, extending them and representing and interpreting data.
(iv) provision for revisiting of the concepts through use of spiral approach.
(v) promoting skills of reasoning and logical thinking amongst learners.
Objectives :
The major objectives of teaching mathematics at the primary stage are to enable the learner to :
(i) develop an understanding of the number concepts
(ii) develop an understanding of four fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and perform them with speed and accuracy in solving problems of day-to-day life
(iii) develop an understanding of various kinds of measures such as length, mass, capacity, time, money, temperature, area, and volume and use these measures in situations arising in the learner’s immediate environment
(iv) develop an understanding and appreciation of geometrical shapes and their characteristics and discuss, describe and draw two/three dimensional shapes.
(v) develop power of interpretation and representation of given information
(vi) develop and exhibit creativity
(vii) develop power of thinking and reasoning
(viii) develop scientific temper
Learning areas :
The following five learning areas have been identified for the curriculum in mathematics at primary stage :
(i) Number and numeration

INTRODUCTION
Learning of science in schools augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity and objectivity along with aesthetic sensibility. It aims to develop well-defined abilities of knowing, doing and being. It also nurtures the ability to explore and seek solution of the problems related to environment and daily life situations and to question the existing beliefs, prejudices and practices in society. Science concerns itself with the fundamental knowledge of universe, world and its environment. Technology deals with numerous ways and means of pressing science into the service of mankind, thus enhancing and improving the quality of human life.
Science for Primary stage (Classes I to IV)
Science forms an integral part of learning at the primary stage. Essentially, it has to be learnt mainly through concrete situations related to immediate environment during the primary stage. The focus would be on sharpening senses of the learners and encouraging them to discover, observe and explore their environment and sorroundings.
Science & Technology for Upper Primary stage (Classes V - VII)
Children at this stage begin to recognise the relationship of science, technology and human enterprise. The process has to be strengthened and concretised. The learner is better equipped to understand the processes that underly simple scientific activities and to visualise their use in solving problems and taking decisions.
Objectives :
The main objectives of learning science in elementary stage are as follows :
1. To have basic ideas of the different branches of science.
2. To be aware of the basic application of science in order to avoid/minimise the hardship of our daily life.
3. To understand the principles and laws of natural phenomena.
4. To impart the knowledge of scientific principle and its application.
5. To be able to make utility of the things around us.
6. To input to the students the need to protect our environment.

INTRODUCTION
Learning of science in schools augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity and objectivity along with aesthetic sensibility. It aims to develop well-defined abilities of knowing, doing and being. It also nurtures the ability to explore and seek solution of the problems related to environment and daily life situations and to question the existing beliefs, prejudices and practices in society. Science concerns itself with the fundamental knowledge of universe, world and its environment. Technology deals with numerous ways and means of pressing science into the service of mankind, thus enhancing and improving the quality of human life.
Science for Primary stage (Classes I to IV)
Science forms an integral part of learning at the primary stage. Essentially, it has to be learnt mainly through concrete situations related to immediate environment during the primary stage. The focus would be on sharpening senses of the learners and encouraging them to discover, observe and explore their environment and sorroundings.
Science & Technology for Upper Primary stage (Classes V - VII)
Children at this stage begin to recognise the relationship of science, technology and human enterprise. The process has to be strengthened and concretised. The learner is better equipped to understand the processes that underly simple scientific activities and to visualise their use in solving problems and taking decisions.
Objectives :
The main objectives of learning science in elementary stage are as follows :
1. To have basic ideas of the different branches of science.
2. To be aware of the basic application of science in order to avoid/minimise the hardship of our daily life.
3. To understand the principles and laws of natural phenomena.
4. To impart the knowledge of scientific principle and its application.
5. To be able to make utility of the things around us.
6. To input to the students the need to protect our environment.
7. To appreciate the beauty of nature -
Living :
Plants and animals; importance and their protection.
Non Living :
Air, Soil, Water, Minerals etc, importance and their conservation.
Universe :
Appreciate their rhythenic movement and importance to us.
8. To be aware of the close affinity between Science and Society.
9. To appreciate Science and Technology and input the zeal to learn and know more about Science.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
Social Sciences is an integral component of general education from the Primary level upto Secondary Stage of School Education. The study of Social Sciences is crucial because it helps the young learners to understand the society and the world at large in which they live, and view the socio-economics developments and changes in the context of time and space and also in relation to each other which widens their mental horizons.
The evolution of human society is a dynamic process having continuity where the present and the past cannot be understood independently or in isolation . It is obvious that the changes and development of today are linked to the past as also to the contemporary developments in other parts of the world. As such, temporal (historical) and spatial (Geographical) dimensions together help the learner in developing a comprehensive picture of the present day society and the world at large. Apart from providing essential knowledge and understanding, the Social Science education aims at developing skills and attitudes, necessary for self - development and for becoming effective and contributing members of society.
The Curriculum of Social Sciences in Schools draws its content mainly from History, Geography, Civics and Economics. At the Primary Stage, the children are introduced at ‘Environmental Studies’ which comprises natural and Social elements of the environment, the children get familiarised gradually with distant places, state and country. At the upper Primary Stage, for the first time Social Sciences is introduced as an independent area of study and continues to enjoy the same position at the Secondary Stage.
Objectives
The major objectives of the Social Sciences course at the Lower Primary Stage are to help the learners to -
(i) recognise common objects, plants and animals in the immediate surroundings
(ii) acquire skills of observation, collection of information, classification, description and self-expression concerning various phenomena of the environment.
(iii) observe simple rules of healthy living, safe storage of food and water and practise proper ways of waste disposal.
(iv) develop habits for protection of the self and surroundings
(v) express love for the environment through drawing, painting, dancing, singing, gardening, tree, plantation and other activities.
(vi) take care of and show concern for all living beings
(vii) develop attitudes desirable for conservation of environment
(viii) imbibe values like love for nature, respect for rights of animals,
care of plants and other living beings and protection of the envi-
ronment.
Objectives
The major objectives of the Social Sciences course at the Upper Primary Stage are to :-
* develop and understanding about the earth as the habitat of humankind

Apart from providing essential knowledge and understanding, the Social Science education aims at developing skills and attitudes, necessary for self - development and for becoming effective and contributing members of society.

Work EXPERIENCE
Rationale
One of the most important goals of education is to enable learners to acquire knowledge, develop understanding and inculcate skills, positive attitudes, value and habits conducive to the all-round development of their personality. The learners should learn to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture, to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform, to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity. Work Experience is viewed as an essential component of education at all stages of education and should be provided through well-structured and graded programmes. Work Experience helps in developing the intrinsic values and the emotional intelligence of the learner leading towards the spiritual upliftment of the learner.
Work Experience is a conscious effort to bridge the gap between manual and intellectual work, thus, giving a meaning and purpose to the learning process. Work Experience not only develop love for manual work and a sense of dignity of labour, but also promotes the creative faculties of the child. It inculcates desirable social and moral values and qualities among pupils and develops capabilities to achieve productive efficiency. It helps them identify their day-to-day needs and develop self-reliance and confidence in meeting them. It acquaints them with productive activities going on in the society, the principles and processes involved in work and the tools and materials used for production. Thus, the principal aim of Work Experience is to prepare children for life, equipping them with the proper attitudes, knowledge and skills in respect of work, which will lead to their personal-social and vocational development and, ultimately, to their smooth transition from the world of learning to the world of work.
Work Experience helps in the all-round development of the child and aims at the inculcation of positive attitudes towards work as also desirable habits of health and hygiene, both personal and environmental awareness of the world of work through exposure to different work situations and acquisition of elementary skills in handling simple tools and materials which may result in the production of simple articles.
Objectives
The major objectives of Work Experience at this stage are to develop among the young learners:
* understanding of the environment in its totality both natural and social, and their interactive processes, the environmental problems and the ways and means to preserve the environment;
* appreciation for the need of a balanced synthesis between the change oriented technologies and the continuity of the country’s traditions and heritage;
* understanding of the positive and the negative impact of the processes of globalization, liberalization and localization in the context of the country;
* qualities clustered around the personal, social, moral, national and spiritual values that make a person humane and socially effective, giving meaning and direction to life;
* capacity not only to process information but also to understand, reflect and internalize and develop insight;
* willingness to work hard, entrepreneurship and dignity of manual work necessary for increasing productivity, obtaining job satisfaction and creating wealth generating system; and
* pre-vocational / vocational skills.
Expected Learning outcomes

Work EXPERIENCE
Rationale
One of the most important goals of education is to enable learners to acquire knowledge, develop understanding and inculcate skills, positive attitudes, value and habits conducive to the all-round development of their personality. The learners should learn to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture, to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform, to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity. Work Experience is viewed as an essential component of education at all stages of education and should be provided through well-structured and graded programmes. Work Experience helps in developing the intrinsic values and the emotional intelligence of the learner leading towards the spiritual upliftment of the learner.
Work Experience is a conscious effort to bridge the gap between manual and intellectual work, thus, giving a meaning and purpose to the learning process. Work Experience not only develop love for manual work and a sense of dignity of labour, but also promotes the creative faculties of the child. It inculcates desirable social and moral values and qualities among pupils and develops capabilities to achieve productive efficiency. It helps them identify their day-to-day needs and develop self-reliance and confidence in meeting them. It acquaints them with productive activities going on in the society, the principles and processes involved in work and the tools and materials used for production. Thus, the principal aim of Work Experience is to prepare children for life, equipping them with the proper attitudes, knowledge and skills in respect of work, which will lead to their personal-social and vocational development and, ultimately, to their smooth transition from the world of learning to the world of work.
Work Experience helps in the all-round development of the child and aims at the inculcation of positive attitudes towards work as also desirable habits of health and hygiene, both personal and environmental awareness of the world of work through exposure to different work situations and acquisition of elementary skills in handling simple tools and materials which may result in the production of simple articles.
Objectives
The major objectives of Work Experience at this stage are to develop among the young learners:
* understanding of the environment in its totality both natural and social, and their interactive processes, the environmental problems and the ways and means to preserve the environment;
* appreciation for the need of a balanced synthesis between the change oriented technologies and the continuity of the country’s traditions and heritage;
* understanding of the positive and the negative impact of the processes of globalization, liberalization and localization in the context of the country;
* qualities clustered around the personal, social, moral, national and spiritual values that make a person humane and socially effective, giving meaning and direction to life;
* capacity not only to process information but also to understand, reflect and internalize and develop insight;
* willingness to work hard, entrepreneurship and dignity of manual work necessary for increasing productivity, obtaining job satisfaction and creating wealth generating system; and
* pre-vocational / vocational skills.
Expected Learning outcomes
Through Work Experience, the child may :
* identify her / his needs and those of his/ her family and community for food, health and hygiene, clothing, shelter, recreation and social service;
* get acquainted with different aspects of productive activities around her/ him;
* relate his knowledge of scientific facts and technological principles to various types of work;
* identify and use tools and raw materials scientifically and confidently.
* engage in suitable Work Experience activities and thereby develop competence in meeting her/ his day-to-day needs and those of his/her family and the community;
* participate intensively in production processes and thereby develop a reasonable level of work skills;
* develop his /her productive capacities sufficiently so that he/ she can start earning while learning;
* apply the problem-solving method in work.
* reinforce a sense of dignity of labour and desirable social qualities such as self-reliance, mutual helpfulness, cooperation, team work, sympathy and tolerance;
* develop proper work values and habits such as regularity, discipline, honesty, efficiency, love of excellence and dedication to duty;
* develop a deeper concern for the environment and a sense of responsibility and commitment to the community;
