Mental Technique:
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vedic Maths is a way to improve our mental capacity to process information and make quick calculations. It helps you reduce the time spent on tedious calculations, which you would normally do by hand. Instead, it lets your mind use simple Vedic Math tricks to do the calculations without pen and paper. This mental rigor complements our STEM labs\u2014read about the <\/span>role of robotics in education<\/span><\/i><\/a> at GIIS
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Set of Sutras:
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vedic Maths has many formulae, also known as sutras, which show detailed explanations of why the tricks give accurate results. Advanced mathematicians study these sutras.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zero Possibility of Error:
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

These sutras and their results have been verified many times. You cannot find errors in these formulae. They are also taught at <\/span>CBSE secondary schools<\/span><\/i><\/a> to help students with bigger calculations during exams.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Makes maths Fun:
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Mathematics is rarely seen as a subject that makes children enthusiastic. However, using mental calculations and easy tricks makes the subject easy and fun to work with for children.

Addition of two-digit numbers<\/b><\/h3>\n

Take two big numbers like 45 and 67. Try to add them using these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. Check which number is the closest tens multiple for the numbers you want to add. Here, the 10s multiple closest to 45 is 50, and for 67, it is 70.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Now, add the tens multiples. Here, 50+ 70 = 120.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. See how much 45 is less than 50. The answer is 5. And, how much less is 67 compared to 70? The answer is 3.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Now add the deficiency numbers together. You will get 5+3 = 8.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Subtract the deficiency number from the total of the tens multiples. You will get 120-8 = 112
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Your answer to 45+ 67 is 112.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        You can apply the same for three-digit numbers as well.
        \nFor instance: 335 + 678\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n
            \n
          1. \n
              \n
            1. You can see that 100\u2019s multiples nearest to these numbers are 400 and 700, with the total as 1100.<\/li>\n
            2. Now see how far they are from the 100\u2019s multiples. You will get 65 and 22, respectively.\u00a0 Add them up to get their total, i.e, 87.<\/li>\n
            3. Now, you just have to subtract 87 from 1100 to get 1013 as your answer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Subtracting any numbers from bigger multiples of 10 like 1000, 10,000, and so on.
              \n<\/b><\/h3>\n

              For our first try, we will go with the numbers 3456 from 10,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n
                  \n
                1. \n
                    \n
                  1. Start this trick by subtracting the first 3 digits from 9 and only the last digit from 10.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                  2. After following the first step, you will get the numbers 6, 5 and 4.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                  3. For the second part, you have to subtract the last digit 9 from 10. This will give you the remainder 4.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                  4. So, your answer is, 10,000-3456 = 6544.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Now, try 1,00,000- 03456<\/span><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. \n
                        \n
                      1. \n
                          \n
                        1. First thing is to add a zero at the beginning of the subtracted number. We do this to make the digit count the same as the zeros after 1 in the first number.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                        2. After the first step you will have gotten the digits 9, 6, 5 and 4.<\/span><\/li>\n
                        3. Now, you just have to get the last digit from 10. Here, 10-6 will give you 4.<\/span><\/li>\n
                        4. So your answer for 1,00,000 – 3456 or 03456 is 96544.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          Maths trick for fast calculation while multiplying two-digit numbers with 11\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Take two random numbers and apply this trick. Let’s start with 27 X 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. \n
                              \n
                            1. \n
                                \n
                              1. First, split the two digits in our first number and add a gap in the middle. Here, this will be 2_7.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                              2. Add 2+7 and put this number in the middle. Here, the answer is 9. When we place 9 in the middle of the 2 split numbers, we get 297.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                              3. Hence, your answer for 27 X 11 is 297.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                 <\/p>\n

                                Let\u2019s try this with a bigger number like 88 X 11.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                  \n
                                1. \n
                                    \n
                                  1. \n
                                      \n
                                    1. First, split the two digits 8_8.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                                    2. Now to find out the middle number, add 8+8 = 16.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                                    3. The 1 from the 16 will get carried over to the first 8, as the carry over goes to the number ahead in maths. This makes your answer (8+1) with 6 in the middle and 8 at the end. This makes it 968.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                       <\/p>\n

                                      Doing multiplication for the numbers that are close to multiples of 100<\/b><\/h3>\n

                                      This trick will leave you speechless as it involves multiplying through simple addition and subtraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      1. \n
                                          \n
                                        1. \n
                                            \n
                                          1. Let\u2019s take the numbers 92X 84
                                            \n<\/span><\/li>\n
                                          2. You first have to identify the closest powers of 10 to these numbers. You will get 100 for both.
                                            \n<\/span><\/li>\n
                                          3. Write down how far these numbers are from 100. 92 is 8 numbers away, and 84 is 16 numbers far.
                                            \n<\/span><\/li>\n

                                          7. You will get 89 as the first part of the answer.
                                            \n<\/span><\/li>\n
                                          8. Then, multiply the deficiency numbers, i.e, 5X6, which is 30.
                                            \n<\/span><\/li>\n
