Vedic Maths vs. Traditional Math: Which one is effective?


We all have heard about Vedic Math while growing up? And on the other side we have also been taught Traditional Maths too. But what is the difference between the two? And what is more beneficial. While Traditional Math focuses on rote memorization and formulaic application, Vedic Maths leans on the power of mental math promoting a deeper understanding and calculation prowess.


Vedic Maths is rooted in ancient Indian wisdom. It offers a unique approach that leverages the brain's natural ability to process information. This method emphasizes pattern recognition, mental calculation, and creative problem-solving. By contrast, Traditional Math often relies on memorization and mechanical application, neglecting the development of mental agility.


The benefits of Vedic Math are many:


- Enhanced mental calculation skills

- Improved problem-solving abilities

- Increased mathematical understanding

- Boosted confidence and reduced anxiety

- Developed cognitive abilities




Vedic Maths techniques include:


- Urdhva Tiryagbhyam (vertically and crosswise): A method for multiplication and division

- Nikhilam Sutra (all from nine and the last from ten): A technique for mental calculations

- Anurva Sutra (the reduction of fractions): A method for simplifying fractions


Vedic Maths helps individuals unlock their mental math potential, transcending traditional limitations. This approach not only enhances mathematical skills but also cultivates critical thinking, creativity, and mental acuity. 


In contrast, Traditional Math often focuses on rote memorization and formulaic application, neglecting the development of mental agility. This approach can lead to a lack of understanding and a reliance on external tools, such as calculators, to perform calculations.



Some resources to get you started with Vedic Math include:


- Books: "Vedic Mathematics" by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji and "The Vedic Maths Handbook" by John Reynolds

- Online courses: GuidElearn has a customized Online Vedic Maths Classes to offer.
