Foreword
The National Education Policy (2020), Government of India, envisions transforming school education
by equipping students with 21st century skills. The endeavour is to shift focus from rote-learning to
acquisition of competencies with a resolve to make education more meaningful and relevant.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in its continuous endeavour to improve the quality of
education has already introduced some initiatives in this direction. Strengthening these efforts, the
Board had signed an MoU with Sri Aurobindo Society (SAS), Pondicherry in November 2019. As a part of
this initiative, SAS is supporting CBSE to develop resource materials, train teachers and take other
measures that would facilitate adoption of Competency Based Education in schools. SAS has engaged
with Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) as its knowledge partner for this project.
CBSE, in collaboration with SAS and ACER, has prepared this resource material- Curriculum Aligned
Competency Based Test Items (Class 9) in February, 2022 which is a compilation of assessment items
in Mathematics that are aligned to the NCERT/CBSE curriculum. These tasks based on authentic real life
situations focus on developing critical understanding among learners in the discipline. Each test covers
about 10 questions from a chapter. The assessments, useful for students’ practice, are also exemplars
for teachers who with their ingenuity can develop many similar items.
