📘 CTET February 2026 – Overall Exam Structure

The CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) is conducted by CBSE for aspiring teachers. It has two papers:

Paper-I: For teaching Classes 1–5

Paper-II: For teaching Classes 6–8


Each paper is 150 MCQs, 1 mark each, with no negative marking. Each paper’s duration is 2 hours 30 minutes.

Paper-I includes Mathematics as one of five sections, while Paper-II includes Mathematics combined with Science for those opting for that subject.

➗ Mathematics in Paper-I (Classes 1–5)

Mathematics section:

30 Questions | 30 Marks


Topics Covered

The Mathematics section tests basic numeracy and conceptual understanding suitable for primary level. Key content areas typically include:

✔ Numbers & Arithmetic

Number sense and place value

Counting, addition, subtraction

Multiplication and division

Fractions and whole numbers

Money, measurement, time


✔ Geometry & Shapes

Basic geometrical shapes (2D & 3D)

Spatial understanding

Symmetry and patterns


✔ Data Handling

Simple graphs and charts

Interpretation of data


✔ Patterns & Problem Solving

Recognizing patterns and sequences



---

➕ Pedagogical Understanding for Mathematics (Paper-I)

In addition to content knowledge, CTET tests how to teach mathematics to young learners — not just answer questions. This includes:

📌 Nature of children’s mathematical thinking
📌 How children learn math concepts
📌 Error analysis and evaluation
📌 Teaching strategies and assessment methods

These pedagogical questions are about understanding how to present and assess maths effectively in primary classrooms.

🧮 Mathematics in Paper-II (Classes 6–8)

In Paper-II, the Mathematics part is broader and deeper, often combined with Science for those opting that route:

Mathematics & Science Section:

60 Questions | 60 Marks (for Mathematics & Science stream)


Maths Topics for Classes 6–8

These are generally based on NCERT standards for upper primary levels:

✔ Number System & Algebra

Numbers, integers, rational numbers

Algebraic expressions, ratio & proportion


✔ Geometry & Mensuration

Lines and angles, shapes, constructions

Mensuration (area, perimeter)


✔ Data Handling

Graphs, statistics


✔ More Advanced Concepts

Simple algebraic reasoning

Use of protractor, compass, geometric constructions


✔ Pedagogical Issues

Teaching methods

Logical thinking and understanding children’s reasoning
