Default Vedic Mathematics for Math Fear Removal

----------------:Vedic Mathematics for Math Fear Removal:---------------


Math FEAR is a global phenomenon. Research shows that more than 85 % students fear mathematics. They fear mathematics because everybody around them tells that MATH is difficult. People around them narrate their stories how they used to bunk mathematics classes and score pass marks in the subject. They even go to the point of telling that even today they are very poor with mathematics. The environment around them makes it more difficult and student develops a mindset that MATH is difficult.


Another major contributor to the difficulty of mathematics is lack of innovation in conventional system of teaching. The conventional system of teaching makes mathematics a dud and boring subject. Students are unable to visualize the concept taught by the teacher. Therefore, their interest level goes down. Hence they start developing a disassociation with the subject. If this disassociation continues for a longer period of time child starts hating mathematics.

This phenomenon of Math fear is growing everyday and now CBSE has also recognized this problem. Through their circular they have asked the schools to create an environment where child takes interest in Mathematics.


The big question Mark is what to do so that child takes interest in Mathematics?


The solution is available in the form of our homegrown science “Vedic Mathematics”. It allows children to play mathematics. Everybody is aware that children love to play. They like to experiment. They like to know the world around them. They have millions of whys…. Vedic Mathematics let them do what they would like to do most of the time i.e playing.

Pragya a student of Mathomatica class says that before joining this class she used to fear mathematics a lot. She used to take a lot of time while solving the problem. But after joining this class she started feeling that mathematics is fun. She says that while in the class she does not feel that she is taught. She feels that she is playing. She is playing mathematics. Here she gets to play with Magic Square and Math Carrom. Yesterday she played Math Carrom and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Mathomatica is working on the above concept i.e if you want to remove math fear of a child then allow him to play it. Mathomatica has been started by Magical Methods.

One thing why I found Vedic mathematics easy and impressive is the methods are based on natrual tendancey of brain e.g. we relate the calculations to the nearest base of 10 and perform the additons/ sbutractions and multiplications.
Nikhilm, Urdvatiryak sutras do very simliar things.
