Multiplication ( Traditional versus Vedic mathematics approach )

 MULTIPLICATION (  Short - cut )

The first impression we all have when we have to do multiplication of long numbers or many digits like  88 x 88 ...91 x 57 .....75 x 75....1243 x 987 etc...is where is paper and pen or calculator. 
But by using sutras from vedic mathematics we will learn to do such calculations in few minutes that to be orally or minimal calculations and the plus point is we don't have to learn tables...we just need to know basic tables till 9.

1. To find the squares ending with 5
     a.  25 x 25 = 625
     Process is first number multiply first number         plus 1 and multiplication of last two 5.
       2 × (2+1) / 5×5
       2 × 3/ 25
        625
      
    b.   35 x 35 = 1225 
           3 x ( 3 + 1) / 5×5 = 1225

    C. 45 x 45 = 2025
         4 x ( 4+1) / 5 x 5 = 2025
         And so on.............

2. To Multiple ( using  vedic sutra Nikhilam Navatascaramam means all from 9 and last from 10)
Single digit numbers    
   a.  9 × 7
  ● Suppose we have to multiply 9 by 7.
    We should take as base for our calculations,          that power of 10 which is nearest to the                    numbers 
      (10) 
      9 - 1
      7 - 3
    Now subtract the base 10 from the sum of given number I.e ( 9 + 7)
  So 16 - 10 = 6
    Or  
 Subtract the sum of two deficiencies ( 1+ 3) from base 10
     10 - 4 = 6
     Or
 Cross subtract deficiency 3 on the second row from the original  no. 9
   9 - 3 =6
   Or 
Cross subtract in the converse way 
   7 - 1 = 6
Result will be same

● Now , Vertically multiply the two deficit figures ( 1 and 3 ) . The product is 3. And this is the right hand side portion of the answer .
     Thus 9 × 7 = 63
     (10) 
      9 - 1
      7 - 3
     -----------
   9+7 - 10 / 1× 3
   16 - 10 / 3
     63 Answer.
   
b.    8 × 6
      Assuming base 10
        8 - 2
        6 - 4
     -------------
    8+ 6 -10/ 2×4
    = 48 answer
      Or
    8-4 /2×4
   = 48
This proves the correctness of the formula .The algebraic explanation for this is very simple:
 ( x - a) (x - b )= x ( x - a - b) + ab

 C.  7× 6
     (10)
     7 - 3
     6 - 4
  ------------
   3/ 12(4×3)
 As you can see product is of double digit and we have taken the base of 10 . So in this case we will only keep unit digit  I.e 2 and 1 will be carried over to the left 
 Thus 
(10)
     7 - 3
     6 - 4
  ------------
   3/ 12(4×3)
   3+1/ 2
 =    42 answer

Double  digit numbers.
 
a. 91 × 91
Here we will take 100 as base.
 91× 91
91 - 9
91 - 9
------------
91-9/9×9
82/81
= 8281 answer

b. 88 x 98
88 - 12
98 - 2
------------
88-2 / 12 ×2
86/24
= 8624 

c.  56 × 98
56 - 44
98 - 2
-------------
56 - 2 / 44x2
54/88
=5488 answer.

d. 25× 99
25 - 75
99 - 1
-----------
25 -1 / 75x1
2475 
= 2475 answer.

e.  88 x 91
88 - 12
91 - 9
--------------
88-9/ 12 x 9
79 / 108
 As we have taken 100 as base . So we will keep two place values on right side and carry the surplus digit over to the left.
 88 - 12
  91 - 9
--------------
88-9/ 12 x 9
79 / 108
79 +1 /08
80/08
 = 8008 answer.

Three digit numbers we will take base as 1000 and four digit numbers we will take base as 10000. And so on....

 Now if we have to multiply 

Special cases:::

a. 12 x 11
In this case we will take base as 10 as it is nearest to 10 but no. Is more so.
(10)
12 + 2
11 +1
-----------
12+1/2×1
132
= 132 answer

b. 17×12
17 + 7
12 + 2
------------
17+2/7×2
19/14
So again carry forward
19+1/4
=204 answer.

c. 12 x 8
12 +2
8 - 2
----------
12-2/2×(-2)
10/-4
= 96    (10/0 - 4)=96

 d. 108 x 97
108 + 8
97 -3
-------------
108-3/ 8 x ( -3)
105/ -24
105 /00
-        24
---------------
104/76
10476 answer

e.  1033 × 997
Take base as 1000
1033+33
997 - 3
-----------------
1033 -3 / 33x(-3)
1030/ -099
We have taken 0 because base is 1000 . So instead of 33 x 3 = 99 ...we have written 099
1030/000
-         099
------------------
1029/901
= 1029901 answer.

IMPORTANCE OF NUMERACY

In my last post we have discussed the basic definition/meaning of Numeracy .
Now we will definitely talk about its importance and   WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN THIS SKILL....and if not then how it will affect our life or we can say our daily life without this skill....

WHY is the problem of numeracy so hard to tackle?
Numeracy has been a problem for quite sometimes , the question we must ask ourselves ...are we stuck with the problem or there are ways to solve it...
Research shows that :::
● Fear of maths
● Lack of confidence 
● Dislike of classroom based teaching .
plays  a major role in preventing adults with poor numeracy skills.

There are evidence of low numeracy skills 
which are impacting economy; individuals earning/wages; employment; personal finances.
All economic studies shows numeracy is very important, when it comes to jobs
According to the SKILLS OF LIFE survey( National strategy in England) shows how low numeracy have been a long term problem for the U.K
Numeracy percentage in 2003 was 26% and 2011 was 22 % which is getting worse not better.
They have definitely comeup with practical approaches and targeting 95% skill level by 2020.

 OECD  (Organisation for economic co-operation and development) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives and promote world trade and improve global economy has a survey regarding numeracy  and literacy skills .

POOR  NUMERACY  IS  A  PROBLEM  WE  MUST TACKLE  NOW . 

As High Numeracy skills are better for ::

NUMERACY

What is NUMERACY......

Why INDIA aims to achieve universal fundamental numeracy by 2025......
These are question which will definitely strike in ur mind with new education policy which has changed the whole prospective of Indian education.
So here we present Numeracy which is integral part of our life.....
NUMERACY is the skill / ability to use numbers and mathematical approaches in all aspects of life not just doing simple addition and subtraction but is very important for individuals to develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies  in their every day life(from new born to professional).
Basic Skills::
Addition, Subtraction,counting ,sorting ,recognising shapes , using comparative ( short and tall), or superlative(shortest and tallest).etc..
Interpret data, charts, graphs...
Make sense of numbers , time, patterns , reading receipts , paying Bills etc...
HOW TO IMPROVE OUR BASIC SKILLS
-Ask open ended question.
-Use manipulatives
-Use hands on 
-Think about thinking 
-Personalise your child 's learning experiences.
-Make your child involve in day to day household or anything u do.
    For example
Give me two tomatoes. 
Change ur tone while using big or small, empty or full etc.
I hope now we can understand our National Mission of Numeracy according to new education policy and its importance. 
 Keep smiling...
Keep using your numeracy skills and educating our future generations......😊😊

WE REVOLVING AROUND MATHS....

We revolving around maths and maths revolving around us.
If we just look around us we will see how we are surrounded with the magic of numbers. 
From the tooth brush to needle everywhere . 
Rather than considering Maths as subject which really stops our heart beat and seeing numbers ,fraction ,geometry gives us heart attack or numb our hand.
Just feel it once.....
While making ur favourite dish.
Cleaning your floor.
Walking around your house.
In the park 
While dressing up  .
your favourite ice cream.
Girls  ur make up box
Boys ur cricket kit or any sports.
How everything is associated with the magic of numbers.....which we call maths.....
We are surrounded with shapes, area , Perimeter, Ratio and Proportion etc.
Even while sharing pizza we are using fractions.
Cooking food you are using ratio and Proportion without knowing....
Just want to concluded with my first ever post rather than considering it as a subject which you always want to escape.Feel it once,visually it...
These skills are very important for your career.
Whether you want to be a doctor, enginner ,chef, painter, artist anything and everything. 
See you..
Keep smiling..

My first impression while writing about this topic was Vedic mathematics must be maths used during vedic period ....I think many will have s...
