Every Thing About VEDIC MATHEMATICS

With Vedic mathematics we make children play with numbers and students are given to perform one SUM with so many tricks, this helps them trigger their brain, think innovative and thus helps create interest in playing with numbers, i.e. Math and removes phobia of Math.

The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations can be carried out mentally. There are many advantages in using a flexible system. Children can reinvent their own methods, they are not restricted to do one method. This leads to more creativity, interest among children. Time and again Vedic Mathematics has proven itself to be the only way to make modern Math simpler and easier.

 Vedic Math program is nothing related to concentration or brain development. Vedic Math is derived from our “Atharva Veda”.  There are 16 sutras on which whole Vedic math revolves , Vedic Math is being used from so many years at entrance level after 12th class , We had discussions with many eminent mathematicians that why Vedic Math is being used for benefit of students after 12 class when 70% of students drop Math after 10th class and remaining 30% students who opt for Math are already good in Math , so we have started the Vedic Math program in schools for students of 6th class to 9th class not to teach them Math but to remove the phobia of Math.

The difference between the children scoring good and average marks in Math is only phobia of math and not that the child does not know math; If the child of 6th class after doing Vedic Math says Yes!  Math is easy, then the child’s interest towards conventional math increases and it help in removing phobia of Math.

ABACUS : You Need to Know !

Many people believe and have said that abacus  deal with attaining proficiency in the calculations (procedural aspect of math) , this is the visual result and thus hype created  by people but the actual benefit and result of abacus is concentration improvement and brain development  through the concept of visualization.

Abacus is level based program which includes the basics of arithmetic such as

·         Addition (to begin with single digit then double digit then triple digit)

·         Subtraction

·         Multiplication

·         Division etc

However when we see the result in a child (visual) solving calculation of 5-10 rows of addition/subtraction or multiplication/division and giving the answer in 3-5 seconds without using any tool or pen paper we assume that abacus improves the calculation, and we tend to say that the child's calculation power  is improved but it's the wrong statement,  The right statement would be the child concentration has improved.

Now, how does this happen --- actually concentration will be improved only when we will use all our senses at one particular time and abacus is the only activity in which all our senses except  sense of taste and smell  are used while doing this course , hence the result is drastic.

By drastic we mean two things, First that the result of oral calculation is not only in 10-15 % children but in more than 75% children doing abacus course (proven fact can show the result in more than 15000 children of various schools).

Secondly the result of doing calculation orally means the concentration power has improved which will help in overall ability of child.

Abacus has been made a compulsory subject in primary schools in China and Japan. Research and analysis have shown great improvement and better mental ability in students of these countries due to increased concentration by learning Abacus since childhood under primary education.
