The purpose of this article is to explain why learning Vedic Math (Vedic Maths) is a benefit to all who study it. I have been studying and teaching Vedic Maths for about 12 years. During that time http://www.teampackersmall.com/c-40-packers-nick-perry-jerse y.aspx , I have tried to interest various segments of the general public to learn and appreciate Vedic Maths. I would like to describe some of the experiences I have had so that any budding Vedic Maths teachers might learn from my experiences.
The first group that I approached was, in my estimation, the most logical and the one with the greatest impact on our youth: the public school system. I was woefully mistaken in that I thought they would be greatly interested. The example that I typically give, to sum up the response I have received over the years is this: let us assume that there is a student that has been shown the traditional methodology to add and subtract fractions and they do not and cannot understand it. They have honestly tried to figure out how to solve problems of this type using the tools their teacher has provided them, but, to no avail. They just cannot figure out how to do it.
By continuing to \beat their head against the wall\ trying, to no avail http://www.teampackersmall.com/c-33-packers-morgan-burnett-j ersey.aspx , to understand the teacher\s approach, they are frustrated and have started down the road of hating math for the rest of their lives. I explain within one minute how they can solve problems of this type using Vedic techniques. They can now just look at the fraction problem and immediately just state the answer in five seconds or less. You would think that the teacher observing this would shout \please tell me what you told him so I can take it back to all of my other students having the same misery with fraction problems.\ Unfortunately, this is not what I hear. The response I receive over and over is \I don\t like this approach.\
When I ask why, they tell me \how do I know that the student knows what he is doing if he doesn\t write anything down.\ I have two responses for the teacher. The first response is that the student got the right answer. The second response is that I only explained how the method works; it will take another minute or two to explain why it works. As unbelievable as it may seem, they will not accept my reasons. They would rather have the student not be able to do fraction problems, be incredibly frustrated and start to hate math with a passion. Maybe this is the reason that almost everyone in every class I have been invited to raises their hands when I ask how many of them hate math. It is a terrible situation when students aged 13-15 have to rely on a calculator to multiply single digit numbers. I have been in classes where I will ask literally, \what is 6 times 4\ and they cannot give an answer. One student actually started counting on her fingers in an attempt to get an answer. This is a pervasive problem that the United States has been suffering with for some time. In the 2009 PISA Study http://www.teampackersmall.com/c-34-packers-mike-pennel-jers ey.aspx , which tested 15 year olds in math, reading and science from the top 65 industrialized countries in the world, the United States ranked 31st in Math and not much better in the other areas. Until the education establishment in the United States realizes that their current approach to teaching math does not work and are willing to examine alternative approaches, I have the feeling that this situation will only get worse.
There are groups that are willing to listen to alternative approaches to learning math. One very responsive group has been homeschoolers. I have given Vedic Maths workshops to these groups with very positive results. By the end of the workshop, the students feel \empowered\ with the knowledge that they can now do certain types of math problems faster than they ever thought they could do before (more about the concept of \empowerment\ later on). The parents in these classes usually have mixed emotions regarding my presentation. On the one hand, they are just as amazed as their children with their new found ability in mathematics, but http://www.teampackersmall.com/c-48-packers-mike-neal-jersey .aspx , on the other hand, they are angry that they were never shown these techniques when they went to school. I have found that there are certain ethnic groups that appear to place a higher importance on education than others. These groups are Indians, Orientals and Jews. The parents from these groups will be open to anything they feel will enable their children to better compete in the world. Obviously, there will always be exceptions, but, these groups show a remarkably solid concern towards the importance of education.
I have found two additional groups that appreciate the benefits of Vedic Math. Just recently, I gave two workshops for the hearing impaired in my community. Never presenting to the deaf before http://www.teampackersmall.com/c-51-packers-mike-daniels-jer sey.aspx , I was a little anxious as to how both the material and I would be received. To my delight, the time I spent with them was a success. They understood what I was explaining to them and by the time the workshop was over, they all had smiles and felt \empowered.\ The other group that I have become involved with are the unemployed in my community. They is a company in my community that will help the unemployed receive all types of financial aid to get into educationalvocational programs to better position themselves to get jobs. Before they can avail themselves of this valuable resource, they need to pass a standardized exam in reading and in math. About 60% – 65% fail this exam with almost 95% failing specifically due to poor performance on the math portion. I have been providing workshops in Vedic Maths to help them pass this exam. Passing this exam can make the difference between getting a job or not; between being able to feed their families or not; even being able to keep their families together or not. Vedic Maths is helping to change people\s lives for the better. When they pass their exam, they feel \empowered.\
Several times above, I had used the term \empowered.\ Let me now tell you about the true power of Vedic Maths. TheWhat is.
