NCERT
Mathematics Books Vs Private Publishers’ Book
Mathematics is a very important subject to obtain good marks
in overall class. Therefore, it is necessary for all the students to have a
strong understanding of mathematics. NCERT mathematics books are designed to
understand each topic in do and learn manner but the sequences of chapters are
not in correct orders. If you see a book of mathematics from private publishers,
you will find the chapter sequences are different from the NCERT mathematics
books.
In private publishers’ books, you can
see the chapter sequences of mathematics class 8 are as follows:
Rational Numbers, Powers and
Exponents, Squares and Square Roots, Cubes and Cube Roots, Playing with
Numbers, Algebraic Expressions and Identities... This is the correct sequence
of chapters because without learning rational numbers, you cannot learn powers
and exponents, and without learning powers and exponents, you cannot understand
squares and square roots. Similarly, all the other chapters are also related to
one another. Therefore, chapters must follow a correct order.
But in NCERT Mathematics books,
chapters are not in a proper sequence, so students feel problems in
understanding the concepts. Due to this reason, most of the CBSE schools prefer
the private publishers’ books.
Here, the chapters’ sequence and their
topics from a private publisher’s book are given.
