Modern Maths Vs. Vedic Maths: Which One is More Useful for Kids?
There is only one Mathematics, when you take it as a subject. However, Maths is not only about concepts but also about calculations. There can be many approaches and methodologies when it comes to calculations.
Vedic Maths is a compilation of amazing methods and techniques used by ancient Indian Mathematical Geniuses. Also known as Vedic Ganit, it simply is a combination of Sutras (16) and Sub-sutras (13) which can be used to perform calculations with great speed and accuracy to solve a wide variety of mathematical problems.
Vedic maths has been rapidly gaining popularity among students not only in India but across the world due to its simplicity and versatility. In fact, it is acclaimed as the Fastest Mental Maths system in the world.
What is so unique about Vedic maths?
Let’s see the 3 biggest advantages of Vedic Maths or Vaidic Ganit for kids.
- Reduces the number of steps needed to solve a problem
Modern Maths requires the use of multiple steps and long and complex procedures for performing calculations. Vedic Maths assists in finding the answers in single rows using just 2–3 steps. Vedic Maths tricks and techniques can be used to perform arithmetic operations on very large numbers quickly and accurately.
This saves a lot of stress as the room for error is reduced drastically due to the elimination of numerous steps not to mention the huge amount of time that’s saved.
Vedic Mathematics simplifies addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squaring, cubing and even finding square roots and cube roots. It can also handle repeated decimals and auxiliary fractions.
2. Solutions at your fingertips
Vedic Maths has a wide range of application and can be used in a variety of situations. Eliminating the need for wasting time and energy over calculations actually frees the child to focus on the underlying mathematical concepts and principles.
Practising Vedic Maths regularly makes it easy for kids to perform complex calculations mentally with perfect accuracy. The child thus becomes adept at solving mathematical problems with speed which is a great advantage in acing competitive examinations.
3. Allows for creative problem-solving
Vedic maths does not force students to follow any pre-defined strategy. It rathers encourages children to use the learnt tips and tricks in creative ways to solve any mathematical problem.
This develops creative thinking, critical thinking, logical reasoning, decision-making and problem-solving skills. It also encourages kids to think flexibly to handle any difficulty in real life.
4. Eradicates Math Phobia
