The Navodaya Vidyalaya Class VI - Mathematics Syllabus is as Follows: 

 Arithmetic Test :- The  main  purpose of  this  test  is to measure candidate’s basic competencies in Arithmetic. All  the Twenty questions of this test will be based on the following 15 topics:-

1. Number and numeric system.
2. Four fundamental operations on whole number.
3. Fractional number and four fundamental operations on them.
4. Factors and multiple including their properties.
5. LCM and HCF of numbers.
6. Decimals and fundamental operations on them.
7. Conversion of fractions to decimals and vice – versa.
8. Applications of number in measure length, mass, capacity, time, money etc
9. Distance, time and speed.
10. Approximation of expressions.
11. Simplification of Numerical Expressions,
12. Percentage and its applications.
13. Profit and loss.
14. Simple interest.
15. Perimeter, area and volume

In order to provide some guidance to the candidates on the types of questions that are expected in Arithmetic lest, some examples are given below-

Example – 1 (Test of Understanding) : What is the prime factorization of 1000?

1. 10x10x10
2. 2x5x5x10
3. 2x2x2x5x5
4. 2x2x2x5x5x5

A factorization of a number is said to be a prime factorization if (i) the product of the factors (taking a factor as many times as it occurs) is equal to the given number, and (ii) each factor is a prime number. Here only serial number 4 satisfies both the requirements. As such, serial number 4 is the correct answer.
