Class 10 Sanskrit - What letter and why?

Image
Type of letter - We have letter writing in Sanskrit starting from grade 8. The letter is a “fill in the blanks” type, where the words which need to be filled will be given in the help box below the letter. For students, “filling blanks” is easy normally. But, in these letters that is not the case. Pattern of letter and difficulty faced - As Sanskrit is not a language that we usually speak, these letters were difficult for me. The letter was a part of the writing skills section. Each sentence had one blank for ½ mark. There were 10 blanks like that, which sums up to 5 marks. Each letter was different, so there were many new words in these letters, which I needed to learn. The first few blanks were direct like sender’s name, receiver’s name etc. The next blanks were part of the main content in the letter. This pattern did not change. But I had the same age-old problem of not understanding the meaning of the sentences. Practices followed to score full marks - In order to get ...

Important Diagrams for Class 10 Science CBSE

Image
Science, an important subject – In class 10, science was one of the most important subjects among the five subjects I wrote in my board exams. The lessons were easy, if the concepts in the lessons were well understood. But the subject also demanded me to study every nook and cranny of the NCERT book to ace all one-mark questions. Diagrams, a difficulty – One of the difficulties I faced while preparing for my unit tests and pre-boards, was the diagrams in Physics and Biology. Chemistry didn’t have many diagrams that were important for the board exams. Physics had some easy and basic diagrams which were important. But Biology had many difficult diagrams which needed to be memorized. I was confused with what diagrams I had to memorize, because of the endless list of them. Solutions – To solve this, I asked my teachers for the most important diagrams to expect for the boards. I compiled a list and started practicing them. At first, it was difficult drawing the diagrams. Afte...

English Letter Formats

Image
Less importance to formats in lower classes – Till grade 8, in my school, I studied a subject called “English Language”. This subject focused on the basics of English grammar such as tenses, modals, nouns, etc. It also included other writing skills such as letter writing, dialogue writing etc. The format for “letter writing” was given by my school. So, I wrote letters according to the format given to score marks. Creative writing questions in Class 10 – In class 10, I paid a lot of attention to the different types of letters and different creative writing questions. For the boards, I studied four types of letters – Ordering, Complaint, Enquiry for joining a course/accommodation and enquiry for a trip. I also needed to study some other formats such as Diary Entry, Article Writing etc., for writing VBQ’s based on these. Difficulties faced while writing letters and solutions – I found that many students knew all the formats, but didn’t know how to write the content according to...

Approach to Trigonometry Problems

Image
Difficulty while learning Trigonometry - When I initially started out, I had difficulties in grasping the basic concepts. Trigonometry was an alien topic to me where I was unable to remember the simple formulas and t-ratios right. Types and approaches to different problems - Trigonometry had a lot of “to prove” sums. Each sum had a different approach. For example, some sums, needed the LHS to be rationalized at the first step, in order to arrive at the RHS. Many students in my class (including me at first), didn’t know how to approach the sums. I tried lots of different problems, in order to know which approach is correct. In exams, speed is important. So, if you know the correct approach for a sum, you can arrive at the correct answer very fast. You may also have another approach, but if it has a lot of steps, it may not be as helpful in your exams. Practices to follow for being thorough in Trigonometry - My IIT coaching institute helped me in giving lots of differ...
