Fun with Figures: Introduction to Vedic Maths (8-18 yrs)
Learning Vedic maths offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the realm of arithmetic. This ancient system, rooted in Indian tradition, provides innovative techniques for mental calculation, enabling individuals to solve complex mathematical problems swiftly and accurately. Beyond simply improving computational speed, Vedic maths enhances cognitive abilities such as concentration, memory, and logical reasoning. By fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships, it empowers learners to approach problem-solving with creativity and confidence. Moreover, Vedic maths instils a sense of mental agility and adaptability, equipping individuals with invaluable skills applicable in various academic, professional, and everyday contexts. Embracing Vedic maths not only enriches one's mathematical prowess but also cultivates a holistic approach to learning and problem-solving.
In the course of this workshop, children will learn:
- Addition: Vedic maths offers efficient techniques for adding numbers mentally, breaking down complex additions into simpler steps for faster computation.
- Subtraction: Learn subtraction methods that simplify the process and reduce the chances of errors, enabling quick mental calculations.
- Multiplication: Vedic maths provides shortcuts and tricks to multiply numbers, making multiplication tasks easier and more manageable.
- Fractions: Master techniques to simplify and manipulate fractions effortlessly, aiding in calculations and problem-solving involving fractions.
- Squares: Explore methods to quickly find the square of any number using Vedic maths principles, enhancing computational speed and accuracy.
- Fun With Figures (Shape Building): Engage in shape-building activities that promote spatial awareness and geometric understanding, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills through hands-on exploration.
All the methods have a solid algebraical proof which will be shown in the workshop.
