Vedic Mathematics is a collection of
Techniques/Sutras to solve mathematical arithmetics 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
etc.
Our school has organized
the workshop for students of class VIII on Vedic Mathematics on Friday, July
09, 2021. It was conducted by Ms. Vidhi Mangal who is a post
graduate in Mathematics from Delhi University, Hansraj College. She has always
been a top performer in her academic career. Looking at her keen interest in mathematics,
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata invited her to
attend a week's workshop which was conducted by Dr. Ram Murti (from Queen's
University, Canada), Miss. Gautami (University Dde Lille, Canada) and Mr. Roman
Holowinsky (Ohio State University). She was chosen to represent her college in
Kolkata.
During
her session in our school she explained few interesting tricks of
multiplication, for example, like Multiplication with number of nine’s, Unit
digit concept and Cube roots. She also
taught one mathematical game to find the D.O.B. of any person by following few pre-defined
steps. The workshop was very interesting and interactive, students took keen
interest and were able to answer the questions by following the rules of Vedic Mathematics
