Vedic Mathematics is a wide range of techniques to simplify numerical calculations. It is a group of ‘Sutras.’
Also it approaches in a simple way of solving problems than the traditional way of calculation.
Vedic Mathematics is the name given to a supposedly ancient system of calculations which was rediscovered from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918 by Bharathi
Krishna Thirthaji Maharaj. According to him, all Vedic
Math is based on 16 Sutras and vertically and crosswise formulae. These methods make Arithmetic more easily enjoyable and innovative. Since Vedic Math is based on
16 sutras, it creates powerful and creative effects in the mind of the students. It promotes mental and flexible solutions in the mind of the students. It carries
Multiplication in one line step and Natural works in the mind of the students.
As this method is not taken from Vedas, it is mentioned in the ‘ATHARVA VEDA’.

HOW THE VEDIC MATHE MATICS IS DIFFERENT FROM
THE METHOD OF ABACUS?
Abacus is the method originated from CHINA.
But Vedic
Mathe matics is purely Indian System .lso Abacus is handling only Arithmetic, but through Vedic, we can handle Algebra arithmetic, calculus, Geometry etc.
This system can handle any students in any age. It contains a list of mental calculation techniques claimed to be based on Vedas.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF MULTIPLICATION IN VEDIC MATHS
Multiplying by 11 [
To multiply any number by 11 do the following:
Working from right to left
1. Write the rightmost digit of the starting number down.
2. Add each pair of digits and write the results down, (carrying digits where necessary right to left ).
3. Finally write down the left most digit (adding any final carry if necessary).
It's as simple as that, e.g.
Multiply 712x11
712x11=7832

Multiplying two numbers close to 100
The above technique actually works for any two numbers but it is only useful if it results in an easier process than traditional long multiplication. The key thing to remember is that with this technique you end up multiplying the subtracted numbers instead of the original numbers, i.e. it is only easier than normal multiplication if these subtracted numbers are smaller than the original numbers, hence the reason why we only used the above technique for numbers greater than
5, (since the subtracted numbers will then be 4 or smaller).
When the technique is extended to double digit numbers, you subtract each from 100 during the 'Vertically' stage instead of subtracting them from 10 so the technique is only easier if the result of this subtraction is small for one or both of the numbers, this is obviously the case when one or both of the numbers are close to 100. Take a look at the following example:
CROSS WISE METHOD OF MULTIPLICATION
Multiply 89 x 97
So 89x97=8633 .

Multiply 95 x 93
95x93=8835
Multiply 97 x 69
97x69=6693
Multiply 96 x 88
Crosswise

ADVANTAGES OF KRIS -CROSS
METHOD OF MULTIPLICATION
It is simple
Very useful in competitive examination and entrance examination
It is a common method for all type of multiplication.

1356÷50= 27.12
2378÷50= 47.56

Magic square is a square of 9 numbers arranged in such a way that the sum of the numbers in rows coloumns and the diagonal wise of the squares are same.
4 3 8
9
2
5
7
1
6
Sum of all numbers from 1 to 9 is 15.
RULE:
write the middle most number in the middle box
Add 1 to that number and subtract 1 to that number and write in corner coloumn.
Add 3 to that number and subtract 3 from that number should write in the next corner coloumn.
Add 2 to that number and subtract 2 from that number should write in the middle coloumn.
Add 4 to that number and subtract 4 from that number should write in the horizontal coloumn.
Contributed by Mrs. MinI Sekhar, PRT, KV No.1 Palakkad, Thiruvananthapuram Region
SPECIALITY OF MAGIC SQUARES
The first and the last number of the magic square should be in the extreme end of the row.
The middle most number will be the quotient of the total number of coloumns divide by 2 and it is rounded to the next whole number.
The sum of the numbers in a row is the product of the middle number and the number of rows in that magic square.
