Tips to prepare an effective Maths timetable

Allot time accordingly give more importance to chapters that you find difficult to understand. Try to first cover numerical problems of harder chapters that might probably take more time than solving the easier ones. Avoid making frequent changes that might deviate your mind. Your timetable should be a smooth one.

Be updated with all the sheets or assignments before preparing your timetable

This means get all your study materials ready which includes your syllabus and practice papers like the CBSE Sample Paper for Class 5 Mathematics ready beforehand so that you can always refer to them after solving a chapter. This will give you an idea about the type and nature of numerical questions that are framed by the CBSE board from that very particular topic. Many times questions are repeated with a slight change in the data. You can surely find something common in your exam if you are thorough with your preparation. Always mark the key points and have a brief idea about the marking schemes.

Choose timings according to your preference

Before scheduling a timetable decide whether you are a morning person or a night person. Maths requires proper concentration to conceptualize and implement the formulas according to the questions asked. The formulas often vary depending on the sums asked even if the sums are from the same chapter. For example, there are different formulas from the Profit and Loss chapter for finding out the selling price, cost price, profit percentage, or loss percentage of an article. You need to have a fair idea about them so that even a slight change in the question doesn’t confuse you. Hence, always choose the timings according to your preference when you are free from all sorts of disturbances. Only then you will be able to solve all sorts of numericals from the chapter. 

Do not shift focus

Do not be distracted by other activities right before your exams. Stay away from everything that deviates you from following your timetable. Try not to refer to multiple books as they list down different ways to solve a question. Always stick to the NCERT textbook which has been prescribed by the CBSE board itself. The book has all the details and solutions in a very simple way for your easy understanding. Questions are set by highly educated professors according to your 5th standard. Around 90% of the questions are set from your textbook itself, practice each and every numerical problem given in exercise and also from the solved examples.

Allot time for mocks

Maths is a subject in which every step of your solution will carry some marks hence it becomes very important that you do not skip out any of the important steps. Having a schedule with timings allotted for the mock tests will give you an atmosphere that you will experience in your examination hall. You will get an idea of how to handle time pressure. You will also be able to work better on your accuracy and speed. Mocks will bring into light the areas where you are weak and you will be able to improve them. Before the exams, practice as many mocks as possible. This process will provide you with the best results.
