This activity aims to achieve the
following objectives:
a.to discuss the information about vedic
mathematics;
b.to familiarize on some short cuts in
computing numbers; and
c.to apply the concept of vedic math in
solving numbers.
6. Backward Design
“Backward Design” is an approach to creating
curriculum, subjects, and even single class
sessions that treats the goal of teaching as not
merely “covering” a certain amount of content,
but also facilitating student learning.
Backward design prioritizes the intended
learning outcomes instead of topics to be
covered.
7. Backward Design
• Grant Wiggins & Jay McTighe
• Focus on end goals first, and
instructional activities last
• Set the vision, decide how students
will show evidence of learning, design
instructional activities to help kids
learn
8. The Vision
• Problem Solving
• Reasoning
• Communication
• Connections
• Representations
9. How can we guide our students to
show evidence of learning?
• Let students wrestle with challenges
• Focus on understanding
• Have students explain
• Encourage student intuition
• Let students build the problem
• Be less helpful
• Make it engaging and interesting
10. •
The ultimate goal of this approach
is that learners learn how to learn
rather than what to learn
For developing their higher order
thinking skills.
This approach refers to an
“Inductive Method”
11. •
It is “International Learning”’ both
the teacher and the learner play
active roles in discovery learning.

13. Use of Vedic Mathematics
to Improve the
Performance of the
Students
14. • Vedic Mathematics is the name given to
a supposedly ancient system of
calculation which was "rediscovered"
from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918
by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj
(1884-1960). According to Tirthaji, all
of Vedic mathematics is based on
sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae.
15. • In the Vedic system difficult problems or
huge sum can often be solved immediately by
the Vedic method these striking and
beautiful methods are just part of a complete
system of Mathematics which is far more
systematic than the modern system. Vedic
Mathematics manifest coherent and unified
structure of Mathematics and the methods
are complimentary, direct and easy.
16. Why is it called ‘VEDIC’
• Vedic comes from Vedas which means the
fountainhead of all knowledge.
• Also because the sources of the Sutras were
found in Ancient Vedic Texts.
• According to the Supreme Court of India,
Vedic means ‘time factor’
• Vedic Maths is secular, which means
anyone from anywhere in the world can
practice it and take advantage of its results.
17. Advantages of Vedic Mathematics
• It helps a person to solve problem from 10-
15 times faster. Time saved can be used to
answer more questions
• It reduces burden (need to learn tables up to nine only)
• It provide one line answer
• It is magical tool to reduce scratch work
and finger counting
• It increases and improves concentration
• Logical thinking process gets enhanced

46. Find the area of a square plot of
side 8m.
Read the problem
Identify the given
draw/illustrate
enter the formula A=𝑠2
solve 64𝑚2
8 m
47. What is the difference between
the area of a square with 13 cm
side length and the area of a
square whose sides are 6 cm
longer?
48. What is the difference between the area of a square with 13 cm
side length and the area of a square whose sides are 6 cm
longer?
A1= (13𝑐𝑚)2 A2= (6𝑐𝑚)2
A1= 169 𝑐𝑚2 A2=36 𝑐𝑚2
169 𝑐𝑚2- 36𝑐𝑚2
133 𝑐𝑚2
described Understanding by design through three stages a) identify desired results, b) determine acceptable evidence, and c) plan learning experiences and instruction.
