Secondary Mathematics for Class 6 is the first book of DAV’s middle-school maths series, published by the DAV College Managing Committee. It has 16 chapters across 234 pages, plus an answer key from page 235. The first seven chapters are arithmetic and early algebra, from the Indian and International place-value systems to solving linear equations by transposition. The last nine are geometry and data: lines and angles, triangles, circles, compass constructions, perimeter and area, and bar graphs.
Heads-up about the full-book file: this scan stops at page 202, in the middle of Chapter 13 (Circles). Chapters 13 to 16 are complete in the chapter-wise PDFs in the table below, which come from the DAV NUPPL Public School e-book library.

Questions about the DAV Class 6 Maths Book
Is this the current DAV Class 6 maths book?
Yes. The chapter list matches the contents page of the sample DAV CAE publishes for Secondary Mathematics 6, 16 chapters with the same page ranges.
Where are the answers to the exercises?
The book’s own answer key (pages 235 to 250) gives final answers only. Worked solutions for every worksheet are in DAV Class 6 Maths Solutions, linked chapter by chapter in the table above.
