HTET TGT Mathematics Syllabus 2026

HTET TGT Mathematics Syllabus 2026

Mathematics is the one Level-2 subject where preparation is easy to measure. You either finish the problem or you do not, and mock scores tend to track real performance more closely here than anywhere else on the paper - which makes practice, not reading, the useful unit of study.

What follows is the complete official syllabus for HTET TGT Mathematics: sixty marks covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration and data handling, the ninety marks of common papers every Level-2 candidate answers, and the exam pattern notified for 2026.

HTET TGT Mathematics Exam Pattern at a Glance - HTET TGT Mathematics Syllabus 2026

It helps to know the weighting first. HTET Level-2 has only one paper of 150 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) carrying 150 marks, with a duration of two-and-a-half hours and no negative marking. Each question has four alternatives, out of which one is correct.

The qualifying mark is 60% (90 marks) for all categories, and 55% (82 marks) for Scheduled Castes and Differently Abled/Physically Challenged candidates of Haryana.

Part 1: Common Subjects Syllabus (90 Marks) - HTET TGT Mathematics Syllabus 2026

Securing high scores in the common section is the secret to clearing the cut-off. This block is common to every Level-2 paper, which makes it predictable ground.

• Pedagogy of Language Development (both languages): Learning and acquisition; principles of language teaching; role of listening and speaking and how children use language as a tool; critical perspective on the role of grammar; challenges of teaching language in a diverse classroom; language difficulties, errors and disorders; language skills.
• Teaching-Learning Materials: Textbook, multi-media materials and multilingual resources of the classroom.

3. General Studies (30 Marks)

A composite section designed to test your mental aptitude and awareness of Haryana.

• Haryana G.K. and Awareness (10 Marks): Haryana related history, current affairs, literature, geography, civics, environment, culture, art, traditions and welfare schemes of the Haryana Government. Attempt the Haryana GK practice set.
• General Intelligence & Reasoning (10 Marks): Semantic, symbolic/number and figural analogy; classification; series; problem solving; word building; coding & decoding; numerical and symbolic operations; trends; space orientation and visualization; Venn diagrams; drawing inferences; punched hole and pattern folding/unfolding; figural pattern folding and completion; indexing; address matching; date & city matching; embedded figures; critical thinking; emotional and social intelligence. Solve the Reasoning practice set.
• Quantitative Aptitude (10 Marks): Whole numbers, decimals, fractions and relationships between numbers; percentage; ratio & proportion; square roots; averages; interest; profit and loss; discount; partnership business; mixture and allegation; time and distance; time & work; basic algebraic identities and elementary surds; graphs of linear equations; triangle and its various kinds of centres; congruence and similarity of triangles; circle and its chords and tangents; quadrilaterals; regular polygons; right prism, right circular cone and cylinder, sphere, hemispheres, rectangular parallelepiped and regular right pyramid; trigonometric ratios; degree and radian measures; standard identities; complementary angles; heights and distances; histogram, frequency polygon, bar diagram & pie chart. Practise the Mathematics question bank.

Part II: Core Subject – Mathematics (60 Marks)

Questions are based on the topics of the syllabus prescribed by the Board of School Education Haryana for classes VI to X, but their difficulty level and conceptual linkages can extend up to the senior secondary stage. The 60-mark Mathematics paper is organised into three divisions.

A) Number System, Arithmetic and Trigonometry

• Number System: Roman numerals, whole numbers, natural numbers, integers, rational and irrational numbers and real numbers, their properties and representation on the number line.
• Factors and Powers: LCM and HCF of natural numbers, squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, laws of exponents.
• Comparing Quantities: Ratio and proportion, percentage, decimals, fractions, direct and indirect proportion, unitary method.
• Commercial Mathematics: Profit and loss, discount, time and work.
• Trigonometry: Introduction to trigonometry and its application to find heights and distances.

B) Algebra, Statistics and Probability

• Algebra: Algebraic expressions and identities, factorisation, linear equations in one and two variables, graphs of linear equations, polynomials, quadratic equations.
• Sequences: Arithmetic Progression and its applications.
• Data Handling: Average, pie diagrams, bar diagrams, histograms and frequency polygons.
• Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, median and mode.
• Probability: Theoretical approach to probability.

C) Geometry, Coordinate Geometry and Mensuration

• Basic Geometry: Euclid’s geometry, lines and angles, lines of symmetry.
• Triangles: Triangle and its properties, types of triangles and their various kinds of centres, congruence and similarity of triangles, Pythagorean theorem.
• Plane Figures: Regular polygons, quadrilaterals, circles, perimeter and area, area related to circles, area of a polygon, Heron’s formula.
• Coordinate Geometry: Cartesian plane, plotting points, distance and section concepts.
• Mensuration: Visualising solid shapes, surface area and volume of cube, cuboid, cylinder, right circular cylinder, cone, right circular cone and sphere, and surface area and volume of a combination of solids.

D) Subject-Related Pedagogy

• Nature of Mathematics, aims and objectives of teaching Mathematics at the upper primary and secondary level.
• Methods and approaches of teaching Mathematics, problem-solving and activity-based learning, mathematical reasoning.
• Teaching-learning material, mathematics laboratory, teaching aids and the use of ICT in the Mathematics classroom.
• Evaluation and assessment in Mathematics, error analysis, diagnosis and remedial teaching.

How to Prepare for the HTET TGT Mathematics Syllabus 2026

Questions in Level-2 are set on the topics prescribed by the Board of School Education Haryana for classes VI to X, but their difficulty and conceptual linkages can extend up to the senior secondary stage. Plan accordingly.

• Start with the BSEH/NCERT textbooks of classes VI–X for Mathematics and build your notes chapter-wise before touching any guidebook.
• The common sections are where preparation converts most reliably into marks.
• Revise Haryana G.K. and current affairs weekly; this is the section most candidates leave until it is too late.
• Practise at full length and full speed, not in short bursts.
• Solve previous year HTET Level-2 Mathematics papers to understand the question style and the recurring topics.
• Pedagogy questions are among the more approachable on the paper - do not skip them.
