How to use this roadmap
Keep the term goals fixed; move the month-level chapters to match your school. The plan assumes the standard April-to-March CBSE session and about 1–1.5 focused hours on school days.
Year at a glance
Pacing follows Ganita Prakash Part 1 & 2 and Curiosity. Match the order to your school’s teaching sequence.
The weekly rhythm
- School + homework first
- 40–50 min: one Maths or Science topic properly (concept + exercises)
- 20–30 min: SST or language reading with margin notes
- 10 min: FirstGrade daily quiz
- 60 min: the week’s hardest topic, redone from scratch
- 30 min: one piece of writing (English/Hindi alternating)
- Free evening — protect it
- 40 min: revise the week from your own notes
- 10 min: plan the coming week
- Rest — the plan only works if it is sustainable
Total: about 1–1.5 focused hours on school days.
