    Mathematics is a subject that is generally considered to be correct if only done in one manner. Many schoolchildren can not grasp the concept of doing mathematics in only one way. This causes the school age child to despise math and mathematics in general. This leads to an adult who is mathematically challenged. Learning how to use Vedic math provides the mathematically challenged child and adult another method of calculating mathematics. Brain-Based Learning for Kindergarten Kids

    Vedic math originated in India and is considered to be one of the foundations of mathematical concepts and higher mathematics. The sutras that compromise Vedic math are written mathematical concepts that can be memorized and by using the sutras mathematical calculations can be completed with ease by the user.

    Through the use of Vedic math, both students and adults learn that t here is more than one way to arrive at the correct answer to a mathematical problem. When used by intelligent students, this method of mental calculation can provide creativity in mathematical computation. For average students or students that cannot grasp "traditional" mathematical computation concepts, Vedic math provides an avenue which, while non traditional, opens the door of understanding of mathematics for the student. Motivating children to learn math

    Vedic math consists of sixteen easily memorized sutras. Through the use of the sixteen sutras, nearly any mathematical problem can be solved. The solving of the problem can be accomplished mentally without the use of pencil or paper. This ability to mentally solve mathematical problems can and often does lead to an increased interest in mathematics and the functions of mathematics.
