Importance of Abacus and Vedic Math’s for kids

 Abacus and vedic maths help kids to solve mathematical arithmetic’s in easy and faster way. Abacus is mechanical calculation device which requires manual operation for finding solutions to arithmetic problems. This ancient tool of calculation has now become a supplementary education to strengthen children's skills for fast and accurate math ability with enhancing and polishing the brain functions like concentration, focus, listening, analyzing, comprehending, imagination, retention, memory, perseverance, creative intelligence etc. so the modern definition of abacus is changed to, ' a math tool for brain exercise".

Intelligent mind is the need of this time. since ages, education system around the all the parts of the world is developed to give an opportunity to access accumulated knowledge of work done by precedents in various fields, of science, social, math, literature, history, skills etc and in the modern world now the definition has improved with, “creating opportunities for it students to learn and contribute back to its ever increasing knowledge bank”.

“Grabbing opportunities at right time brings success, you have to be capable enough to know what is an opportunity, how to grab it, what to do with it after you grab it” the power lies in the brain: our brain is a thinking organ that learns and grows by interacting with information through perception and action. mental stimulation improves brain function and actually protects against cognitive decline, as does physical exercise. mental functions like the ability to memorize, ability concentration, ability to analyze, listening skills, creative intelligence, play a key role in making our children acquire knowledge, understand and if possibly create and present distinct information out of the same.

There may arise a question in one’s mind that why is there a need to teach children to use abacus or to teach them solving arithmetical problems using abacus in this time of advanced technology. But the fact is that even if the advancements are made in the technology making it possible for human beings to perform complex calculations and to explore new dimensions in the field of knowledge, the mind of the child is completely empty and it is to be written on. Child’s mind could grab some things with difficulty and has the tendency of forgetting learnt topics after some time.

With the help of abacus simple arithmetical functions are easy to learn especially multiplication which may seem easier to an adult to perform but are very difficult for the juvenile to understand.

Vedic mathematics on the other hand is a collection of techniques/sutras to solve mathematical arithmetic’s in easy and faster way. It consists of 16 sutras (formulae) and 13 sub-sutras (sub formulae) which can be used for problems involved in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics.

Vedic mathematics can definitely solve mathematical numerical calculations in faster way. Some Vedic math scholars mentioned that using Vedic math’s tricks you can do calculations 10-15 times faster than our usual methods.

More than 1700% times faster than normal math: this makes it the worlds fastest. Some of the advantages of vedic math’s are :

• eradicates fear of math completely. So if your child has math-phobia high speed Vedic math is a fun-filled way to do math and arises interest in your child.

• Much improved academic performance in school and instant results. just see the first exercise and believe it for yourself. go over the examples given in the tutorials you would be amazed.

• increases your speed and accuracy. become a mental calculator yourself.

• improves memory and boosts self confidence.

• cultivates an interest in your for numbers.

• develops your left and right sides of your brain hence using intuition and innovation. it has been noted that geniuses have been using the right side of the brain to achieve exceptional results.

• easy to master and apply. you just need the knowledge of tables to learn this.

Salma Anjum  is an organization that provides classes for abacus and vedic maths in nagpur  and Mumbai which helps students explore new dimensions in the field of knowledge  and stimulate their minds.

The primary objective is to impart children with those skills that are essential for life, but not necessarily taught in school. The classes seek to teach children to love learning for its own sake, and to develop a scientific and questioning temperament.
