Developing Multiplication Skills using Vedic Aphorisms Embedded with Multimedia

Abstract

The promising development of humankind is reflected in the education system of any nation. The progress of society is the mirror of investments in the education of young generations. To the best of the knowledge of the authors, the pedagogy used by teachers in our country is still dominated by the conventional system. Contemporary nations leave no stone unturned to build a mathematically literate society to compete with the advancements of the new technological era. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to reframe pedagogy with modern techniques. The change can be brought by integrating technology in the present system of imparting instructions in the classroom of mathematics. The abstractness of mathematics makes it hard for the students to understand the concepts and do calculations with an ease. Teaching through multimedia integrated with technology brings out the best in the child. The combination of multimedia with Vedic mathematics will help students to do smart work. Through amazingly easy methods of Vedic Mathematics, students can solve complex problems with relative ease. Vedic mathematics through multimedia can help the students to develop their mathematical skills too. This paper is an attempt to bring technology and Vedic aphorisms in the pedagogy of mathematics for the development of multiplication skill of mathematics.
