 Introduction
This book has been compiled with the intention of facilitating teachers to align the textbook and
the teacher guide to complete the expected competency levels to be covered within the first
term.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic learning has been shifted from classroom to home. Therefore it is a
quite challenging task to the teachers to cover the syllabus in distant mode. Thus this book
will help teachers to use as a supplementary material in distant learning. Further, this book can
be used as a self-study material for the students who do not have facilities to access e-learning,

Please note that the suggested activities included in this material can be adapted according to
the standards of the students.
