Book excerpt: The revised edition of the series Foundation Mathematics for Classes 6, 7 and 8 is based on the latest curriculum. The books in this series have been upgraded to meet the requirements of NEP 2020. The series aims to develop a number of Mathematical Skills (like Numerical Calculation, Algebraic Manipulation, Spatial Visualisation, Data Analysis, Measurement, Estimation and Approximation) and Mathematical Processes (like Reasoning, Communication and Connections, Problem solving and Heuristics, Estimation, Technology etc.) among students at these levels. While developing and designing these books, each and every key concept has been explained thoroughly. To the point and straight-forward approach, as applied in these books, make learning of mathematics enjoyable and interesting. Examples and questions are so designed that students can easily apply them to their daily life problems. Salient features of the books in this series are : Detailed explanations of key concepts and a large number of solved examples and exercises so that the students may grasp the fundamentals and also acquire the desired problems solving and learning skills. A rich and comprehensive range of properly graded questions and solved examples. Exercises and questions within the exercises are so arranged that students can progress at an appropriate pace. Handy hints wherever required. Carefully designed to build students’ confidence in applying mathematical concepts to their daily life problems. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) have been added for better understanding of the lesson. Questions under the head Mental Maths have been added to enhance the mental agility of the learners. Case Study Based Questions have been added to give a chance to the learners, apply the mathematical knowledge gained, to solve real life problems. A list of important concepts and results has been provided at the end of each chapter in the form of Things to Remember. The vocabulary and terminology used in the book is in accordance with the comprehension and maturity level of the students. It is sincerely hoped that this series will meet the needs and requirements of teachers and students alike.
