The Impact Of Teaching Calculus Through Vedic Mathematics Techniqueson Problem-Solving Skills Of Students – An Analysis

Abstract

Vedic Mathematics, an ancient system of mathematical techniques based on the Vedas. It offers simple, fast and intuitive methods for solving complex problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics techniques in enhancing the problem-solving skills of students. Through pre and post-intervention assessments and qualitative feedback, the researcher evaluates the impact of a Vedic Mathematics-based curriculum on students’ problem solving skills like computational speed, accuracy, logical reasoning. The experimental group, comprising 30 secondary school students, underwent a 12-week program integrating Vedic sutras, while a control group of 30 students followed traditional mathematics instruction. Findings of study highlights a statistically significant improvement in the students of experimental group’s problem-solving skill to solve problems related to calculus as compared to the control group students. The findings highlights that the Vedic Mathematics is an effective pedagogical tool to foster problem-solving skills in student.
