Speed Mathematics Using the Vedic SystemSpeed Mathematics using the Vedic system facilitates Mathematics learning. The average pupil will be able to work out calculations such as 46X44, 95X95 and 116X114 mentally, often faster than a calculator. Paper and pencil will still be required for most questions, but the speed and accuracy of calculations will improve significantly. This book provides smart strategies for building a foundation in Number work and Algebra. These two areas are the building blocks in mathematics. Once pupils can master these aspects they will feel confident to tackle other branches of mathematics. This book is suitable for children from 10 to 14 years of age, but adults who have found mathematics difficult in the past will also benefit from it. |
