This document reviews the Maths Spark textbook used in classes 2-5 and identifies areas for improvement. For class 2, regrouping in addition and the measurement chapter are identified as difficult. For class 3, the book is too heavy, multiplication and division chapters need more examples, and fractions need simple operations. Across classes, more examples, separating chapters, and reducing the book size into two parts are recommended. Some positive points noted are easy language and content. Suggestions are also provided for exams, diaries and attendance registers. Overall, the earlier Prachi Publications book is said to be better.

SUBJECT: MATHS SPARK

REVIEW OF BOOK

CLASS: II,III,IV,V
NEGATIVES POINTS

CLASS : II

BOOK NAME: MATHS SPARK

1) REGROUPING MEANS REARRANGEMENT OF ONES AND TENS IS VERY


DIFFICULT FOR GRADE II STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND .IT IS TOUGH FOR
THEM.EVEN PARENTS ALSO TALK TO ME REGARDING THESE TYPES OF
SUMS.

2) MEASUREMENT CHAPTER IS NOT UP TO THE MARK, THERE SHOULD BE


ADDITION, SUBTRACTION AND EASY CONVERSION SUMS IN THE CHAPTER.
SO THAT STUDENTS CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF CAPACITY,
LENGTH & WEIGHT.

3) DIVISION CHAPTER IN GRADE II IS FULLY BASED ON PICTORIAL


REPRESENTATION.HOW CHILDREN WILL KNOW THE PATTERN OF
DIVIDE.SOME QUESTION OR EXCERCISES MUST BE INCLUDED IN DIVISION
CHAPTER.
CLASS: III

SUBJECT: MATHS SPARK

1) BOOKS IS VERY HEAVY IN WEIGHT.

2) IN CLASS III NOT SATISFIED WITH THE MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION


CHAPTER.MULTIPLICATION OF 2-DIGIT NUMBER BY 2-DIGIT NUMBER MUST BE
INCLUDED IN THE CHAPTER.

3) IN DIVISION CHAPTER FILL IN THE BLANKS MUST BE INCLUDED.

4) CHAPTER ‘FRACTION’ THE STANDARD IS NOT UPTO THE MARK.ATLEAST SIMPLE


ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONAL NUMBERS AND GREATER THAN
LESS THAN SUMS SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

5) LAB ACTIVITY IN SOME CHAPTERS IS NOT UPTO THE MARK.

6) NUMBER OF EXAMPLES ARE VERY LESS.

7) IT WOULD BE BETTER IF BOOK IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS TERM I AND


TERMII AS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN.

8) WORKSHEETS AND TEST PAPER SHOULD BE NOT TO BE TESTED.

9) 96 PAGES NOTEBOOK IS SUFFICIENT IN CLASS III.TOTAL 5 NOTEBOOKS OF 96


PAGES ARE REQUIRED IN MATHS.
CLASS: IV

SUBJECT: MATHS SPARK

1) BOOKS IS VERY HEAVY IN WEIGHT.

2) IT WOULD BE BETTER IF BOOK IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS TERM I AND


TERMII AS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN.

3) LAB ACTIVITY IN SOME CHAPTERS IS NOT UPTO THE MARK.

4) NUMBER OF EXAMPLES ARE VERY LESS.

5) ROMAN NUMBER CHAPTER SHOULD BE SEPARATE IN THE BOOK AND


ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SUMS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE CHAPTER IN GRADE

6)IN DATA HANDLING CHAPTER SOME MORE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED


LIKE CONSTRUCTION OF BAR GRAPH ON GRAPH PAPER.

7) DECIMAL CHAPTER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN CLASS IV WITH SIMPLE


EXCERCISES ACCORDING TO THE LEVEL OF STUDENTS.( EASY QUESTIONS)
CLASS: V

SUBJECT : MATHS SPARK

1) BOOKS ARE VERY HEAVY IN WEIGHT.

2) IT WOULD BE BETTER IF BOOK IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS TERM I AND


TERMII AS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN.

3) LAB ACTIVITY IN SOME CHAPTERS IS NOT UPTO THE MARK.

4) NUMBER OF EXAMPLES ARE VERY LESS

5) SIMPLIFICATION OF NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS CHAPTER SHOULD BE GIVEN


SEPERATELY IN THE BOOK.PRESENTLY ONLY 5TO6 SUMS ARE THERE IN THE BOOK
IN ONE CHAPTER.

6)WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DECIMAL CHAPTER BECAUSE QUESTIONS
RELATED TO MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF DECIMAL NUMBERS ARE NOT
THERE IN THE PRESENT CHAPTER.FOR GRADE V STUDENTS IT SHOULD BE
NECESSARY TO KNOW ABOUT DECIMAL DIGIT MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION.

7) IN GEOMETRY CHAPTER CONSTRUCTION OF ANGLE, TRIANGLE AND SQUARE


USING COMPASS SHOULD BE INCLUDED .PREVIOUSLY THESE KIND OF SUMS
WERE THERE IN PRACHI PUBLICATIONS BOOK.WHEN STUDENTS UPGRADE IN
CLASS VI IT BECOME DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND THESE KIND OF
SUMS AND THAN THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE COMPASS .SO SOME
EASY QUESTIONS RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

2) LANGUAGE OF WORD PROBLEMS IS VERY EASY AACORDING TO THE LEVEL OF


STUDENTS.

4) NUMBER OF CHAPTERS ARE ENOUGH.


GENERAL PROBLEMS:

1) IN ANSWER KEY SOME ANSWERS ARE WRONG .IN CLASS III CH2 MENTAL
MATHS Q2 (H) SUM IS WRONG.
2) KINDLY INCLUDE TABLES 2 TO 2OAFTER THE INTRODUCTORY PART OF A
BOOK OR BEFORE STARTING OF CHAPTER 1.SO THAT STUDENT CAN EASILY
LEARN THE TABLE FROM THE BOOK.PRESENTLY IN SOME BOOKS TABLES
ARE IN THE FORM OF FILL IN THE BLANKS.

UNIT TEST AND TERMI & II EXAM

EXAM CAN BE CONSIDERED
DIARY

SUBJECT.IT WILL BECOME EASY FOR THE STUDENTS TO WRITE THEIR HOMEWORK
PROPERLY.BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY WRITE THE HOMEWORK BUT FORGET TO WRITE THE
SUBJECT NAME.

2) WRITTEN WORK/LEARNING WORK FORMAT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE PAGE OF


DIARY.INSTEAD OF THESE ABOVE MENTIONED IDEA SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

3)KINDLY PRINT UNIT TEST AND TERMI AND TERMII EXAM TIME TABLE OR ONLY UNIT TEST

ABOUT THE EXAMS AND PLAN THERE PROGRAMMES ACCORDINGLY AND PREPARE THEIR
WARDS FOR THE EXAM OR TEST.

4) LIST OF COMPULSORY HOLIDAYS SHOULD BE MENTIONED IN THE DIARY ALSO.EVERY TIME IT


IS NOT POSSIBL TO TURN THE PAGE OF CALENDAR.

7) FEES DETAIL PAGE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN STUDENT DIARY,SO THAT PARENTS WILL FILL
THE FEES DETAILS AND TEACHERS CAN EASILY FILL THE DETAILS FROM THE STUDENT DIARY IN
HIS OR HER REGISTER.MANY TIMES STUDENTS FORGET TO BRING FEE CARD OR SOMETIMES
PARENTS ITSELF REFUSED TO GIVE FEES CARD TO THEIR WARD THAT THEY WILL LOSE.SO
