This review is from: Speed Mathematics Using the Vedic System (Paperback)

This book explains fast techniques for doing number work. It covers subtraction, multiplication, special techniques for squaring and finding square roots and cube roots.There are excellent techniques for maniulating fractions. It also covers the conventional techniques for percentages, rounding, finding proportions, sequences,etc. Great chapters on simple equations and simultaneous equations too. With many examples and answers at the back. The many techniques for number work in this book would serve as a good starter or introduction to lessons in this subject. A good resource for teachers and parents. Smart children with an interest in speedy number crunching will find it beneficial too. A good book which is relatively easy to follow. However, be prepared to spend a few weeks to master the different techniques before you start showing off your new mental arithmetical skills!

This review is from: Speed Mathematics Using the Vedic System (Paperback)

Speed Mathematics using the Vedic system makes learning basic mathematics more rewarding. The average pupil will be able to work out calculations such as 46X44, 95X95 and 116X114 mentally, often faster than a calculator. Pupils will understand how to work out squares,cubes, percentages,fractions,and equations with ease. Paper and pencil will still be required for most questions, but the speed and accuracy of calculations will improve significantly. This in turn motivates pupils to learn more. This book provides smart strategies for mastering basic 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 16 years of age, but adults who want to improve the speed of mental calculations will also find this book useful.
