Vedic Maths Tricks Every Teacher Should Use in Class

Introduction

Every teacher wants students who can calculate fast, think logically, and enjoy mathematics instead of fearing it. But with today’s exam pressure and heavy syllabus, students often rely on memorization rather than true understanding.

That’s where Vedic Mathematics becomes a game changer.


Vedic Maths

Vedic Maths is a collection of simple, powerful sutras (formulas) that help students solve even complex problems with remarkable speed and clarity. For teachers, these techniques become an essential toolkit to make math learning fun, engaging, and efficient.


In this blog, you’ll learn the most effective Vedic Maths tricks every teacher should introduce in class, along with tips to teach them effortlessly.

2. The “All from 9 and the Last from 10” Trick
