Abstract: Mathematics education is a process by which a child enters into two basic regions of the mathematical world; into concepts and theories on one side and mathematical activity on the other. Such initiatives, fostered and made easier by curriculum, takes place within a well knit system of education. After NCF 2005, a change in the syllabi and text books and a change in classroom teaching and assessment is taking place slowly at different level of maturity in different states. In this context, the present paper focuses on to compare the syllabus of mathematics of class IX and X of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) boards. It was found that in both CBSE and WBBSE the syllabus of class IX and X include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, coordinate geometry, mensuration, set theory ( only in class IX, WBBSE), probability , statistics and trigonometry (only in class IX, WBBSE and CBSE). Contents and subunits of the syllabus of these different components are almost same .Yet, it was found that in CBSE Mathematics, more stress given to number system, probability, on the other hand WBSSE has stressed upon more arithmetic problems like profit loss , partnership business, simple and compound interest etc. These arithmetic problems like profit loss , partnership business, simple and compound interest etc. are taught at elementary level ( upto class VIII) in CBSE Mathematics. In WBBSE, a detailed account of ratio and proportion and variations in algebra, in trigonometry measurement of angles in sexagesimal and circular method are noticeable and deferential. In geometry, CBSE has committed to disseminate from the very beginning of Euclidian geometry to lines and angles, properties and theorems on triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, similar triangles, Pythagoras theorem. It was found the syllabus of geometry in class IX is greater than that of class X, on the other hand, in WBBSE, class X syllabus has more extensive than that of class IX and overall integrated picture is more or less same. It will promising to be confident in looking forward to the practical implementation in the classroom generating lively potential youth to forthcoming world.
