Dear Parent,

Greetings from VPMS, Pune!

As you are aware, your ward is currently studying in Standard X. It is crucial
for students to thoroughly practice and revise the chapters in Mathematics. To
support this, I am sending chapter-wise worksheets for additional practice.
In line with the CBSE Board question paper format, I have prepared the
worksheet titled X_MATHS_1_REAL_NUMBER_WS_2025_26.
Parents are kindly requested to provide a hard copy of the worksheet to their
wards, as this will help in reducing screen time.
Students are required to solve the worksheets in their Mathematics assignment
notebook. Alternatively, they may use a separate notebook for this purpose.
Please note, this notebook will be considered part of the portfolio for internal
assessment.
Sufficient time will be given to complete the worksheets. Should students face
any difficulties, they are encouraged to bring up such questions during revision
sessions, doubt-clearing classes, or even during their free periods.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Warm regards,
