Printable Worksheets for school kids

Budding young students need to have a strong foundation in the basics. A firm foundation is necessary for any building, institution, or individual to endure. You have to practice a skill a lot to become good at it. A strong foundation for education can be made only through practice. As the young student starts practicing more, he/she would start the education life with a strong base. Practice makes perfect.

It doesn't matter how much you practice, practice always provides better results. An ounce of practice is worth a pound of precept. Students can practice the fundementals of any subject with practice worksheets. You can find lots of freely downloadable / printable Activity Worksheets for Students from the web. The first step in learning mathematics is always with Addition. This can be done thru various fun filled Addition Worksheets.

Onam

Onam is the festival of Kerala. All Keralaites celebrate Onam where ever they are. A 'Pookkalam' or the Flower Carpet is put on the front of every house for ten days till Onam. It is believed that King Mahabali visits his kingdom once every year. The Pookkalam is for welcoming him.

Wish You a Very Happy Onam 

Vedic Mathematics - Magical Methods 3

In this post I will explain how to easily multiply a number by 11. As usual, we can

try this out with a simple example.

Example 1 : 22 X 11

    22 X
    11
 --------
    22
   22
 --------
   242
 ========

Using the Magical methods

    2  2 X
    1  1
 --------------------------
    2    (2+2)   2
  --------------------------
Makes it   (2) (4) (2)
 ==========================

The rule is quite simple. Put the number to be multiplied with the sum of the numbers in the middle. Now let us try it with another example.

Example 2 : 36 X 11

    36 X
    11
 --------
    36
   36
 --------
   396
 ========

Vedic Mathematics - Magical Methods 2

The previous post in this topic was useful in solving mathematical problems which
involved finding the square of numbers ending with '5'. Then naturally, the question arises as to what method one could adopt for other items. Well..Vedic Mathematics has a solution to any such problems. Only thing is that it simplyfies everything.

Vedic Mathematics works on the ancient Indian teaching system. It is simple and easy to learn. With these you can do the following:

1. Solve mathematical Problems 10 - 15 times faster


2. Reduce burden - Makes multiplication and division easier


3. Increase concentration

Now we can try to find out whether the Magical Method 1 can be used cases other

than finding the square of numbers ending with 5. Lets try with one simple example.

Example 1 : 13 X 17

    13 X
    17
 --------
    91
   13
 --------
   221
 ========

Now let us try applying the Magical Methods

    1  3 X
    1  7
 --------------------------
 ((1+1) X 1)   (3X7)
 --------------------------
Makes it   (2)  (21)
 ==========================

Great!...It works here too..

Let us now consider another example

Example 2: 54 X 56

    54 X
    56
 --------
   324
  270
 --------
  3024
 ========

Using Magical Methods

    5  4 X
    5  6
 --------------------------
 ((5+1) X 5)   (4X6)
 --------------------------
Makes it   (30)  (24)
 ==========================

Example 3: 88 X 82

    88 X
    82
 --------
   176
  704
 --------
  7216
 ========

Using Magical Methods

    88 X
    82
 --------
  7216
 ========

Summary:
The above method can be applied when you multiply two numbers having the sum of the last digits come to 10 and the tenth place being the same

Vedic Mathematics - Magical Methods 1

We can simplify most of our mathematical calculations using the magical methods.

In this method I will illustrate the a simple multiplication operation.

Example 1 : 25 X 25

    25 X
    25
 --------
   125
   50
 --------
   625
 ========

Now let us consider how to do this using Magical Method

     25 X
     25
 --------
    625
 ========

Let me explain you how I did this

1. First Multiply the last two digits - this will be the last digits of the product
   ==> here 5 X 5 = 25.


2. Now add one to the top left hand corner digit
   ==> here 2 + 1 = 3


3. Multiply this sum with the left hand bottom digit. This will be the 1st digits of the product
   ==> here 2 X 3 = 6


4. Combine (3) and (1) together to form the product.
   ==> here (6) and (25) ==> 625

To make everything simpler

     2  5 X
    2  5
 --------------------------
 ((2+1) X 2)   (5X5)
 --------------------------
Makes it   (6)  (25)
 ==========================

Let us consider another example

Example 2 : 75 X 75

    75 X
    75
 --------
   375
  525
 --------
  5625
 ========

Now let us try out the Magical method for this

    7  5 X
    7  5
 --------------------------
 ((7+1) X 7)   (5X5)
 --------------------------
Makes it   (56)  (25)
 ==========================

Example 3 : 95 X 95

    95 X
    95
 --------
   475
  855
 --------
  9025
 ========

Now let us try out the Magical method for this

    9 5 X
    9 5
 -----------------
   90    25
 =================

Students can have great advantages once they master these methods. These methods are relatevly simple compared to the traditional methods.

Mumbai Blasts

The serial blasts which took place in the Economic capital of India, Mumbai, on Tuesday evening has sent shock waves across the country. Such terrorist activities should be stopped and people should start protesting against this.
